Abstract
Academic and cultural links between Nordic countries and UK date back to mediaeval times under the influence of King Canute (Knut) in the early 11th century. Visiting Dominican and Franciscan friars, some from Britain, started the ’studia generalia’ in the 11th and 12th centuries, from which the universities evolved (Buttimer 1989). The incursions of the Vikings into Britain were perhaps less academic in their purpose, but they left a lasting cultural and genetic legacy.
