Savonians
Savonians (; ), or Savo Finns, are a subgroup (''heimo'') of Finns who live in the areas of the historical province of Savonia. History Savonians are descendants of Tavastian and Karelian peasants who, during the Middle Ages, had settled in the areas that would later become known as ''Savonia'' in order to find new lands suitable for slash-and-burn agriculture. The Treaty of Nöteborg split the area between Sweden and Novgorod Republic, Savonia going to Sweden and Karelia to Novgorod. This tied Savonia to the Finnish language and Lutheran religion. While Savonia as a region was first mentioned in writing in 1323 in the treaty, Savonians as a separate group emerged around the year 1700 as a result of the mixing of Karelians and Tavastians. During 16th and 17th centuries, many Savonians emigrated to Eastern Norway and Central Sweden where they became known as the Forest Finns. In the 17th century, there was also a migration to Swedish Ingria (now part of Russia), where they ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
