Remove desinformation

[edit]

The article said:

"The title also was a continuation of the independent early medieval kingdom of the Geats."

I mercilessly slayed this desinformation. Now the fact is this: the medieval ages started and ended at different times in different parts of Europe. There might have been a few independent geatish kingdoms in Sweden before c:a 700. But in Sweden that is before medieval ages. In sequence:

  1. Roman iron age c:a 0-500 (?),
  2. Migration age 500-700,
  3. Vendel time 700-800,
  4. Viking age 800-1100,
  5. Early medieval age 1100-1400 (?), the consolidation of Sweden from the loose confederation and tripple-kingdom of Swear Sweden, East Geatland and West Geatland.

The Castilian and Spanish kings also claimed to be Gothic monarchs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.85.148.202 (talk) 11:08, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
