Abstract
The article deals with the influence of archaic mythological motifs on the historiography, using the existence of different plots in the old Russian and the Middle Irish sources. The chronicle tradition of ‘calling the Vikings’ is usually considered as an element of pseudo-historic narratives of migratory tale, as are the motifs of ‘three brothers’ and ‘marriage with a daughter of the local ruler’. An analysis of Giraldus Cambrensis’ historical tracts shows that the development of these motifs is partly based on Irish historical records and finds support in the Irish Chronicles.
