Before the unification of Norway, Romerike (Old Norse Raumar?ki) was a petty kingdom. It had its age of greatness between the 5th century and the 7th century. The 6th century Goth scholar Jordanes wrote in his Getica about a tribe located in Scandza which he named the Raumarici and which seems to be the same name as Raumariki, the old name for Romerike.
