From Heinz Klingenberg: Odins Wanderzug nach Schweden I've picked
some t-r- stuff.
Fredegar (7th cent. CE) mentions the fall of Troy, emigration from
Phrygia to Asia and Europe, tripartition in Macedonians, Franks,
Torci/Turci, Franci were named after their king Francio and the
Turci/Torci/Torqui (of Trojan descent) after their king
Torquotus/Torcoth/Torchot ("per quod gens Turquorum nomen
accepit", "per quem ibique vocati sunt Turchi")
also:
Heimlýsing:
"A Tracia bygði fyst Tiras sonr Iafeths Noasonar, fra honum er komen
þioð su er Tyrkir heita" [from Tiras Japhetssohn comes the people,
called Tyrkir] (AM 764 4º [14th cent.] and Hauksbók version.
Isidor, Etymologiae, 9,2,31:
("Thiras, ex quo Thraces; quorum non satis inmutatum vocabulum est,
quasi Tiraces"
Honorius Augustodunensis, De imagine mundi:
"Thracia, a Tras filio Japhet dicta"
The genealogy of Harald the Fair-haired in the introduction of the
Flateyjarbók
Ætt Haralldz fra Adam: " . . . Japhet ...Priamus / Munnon eda
Mennon ... Troaana / Tror=Þorr . . . Voden=Odinn, hann var
Tyrkiakonungr . . . Haralldr konungr hinn haarfagri"
Hugo von St. Victor:
The Trojan migrants are divided into Franks und Turci, named from
their then kings.
Richard of St. Victor: Excerptiones allegoricae liber 10, cap. 1:
"Dicunt namque quod post excidium Trojae multitudo magna inde
fugiens, ac deinde in duos populos se dividens, altera pars
Francionem quemdam supra se regem constituerit, altera Turcum
[Teucrum] nomine secuta fuerit, atque ex eo duos populos sumpto
nomine Francos et Turcos [Teucros] usque hodie vocari"
Chroniques de Saint Denis (around 1300) call Turcus a grandchild of
Priamos, son of Hektor, and Francio another grandchild of Priamos,
son of Troylus
Trójumanna saga: Tyrkir=Trójumenn
Designations for Trojans in the Aeneid:
Teucri pl. 125 occurrences (after Teukros/Teucer, the oldest king of
Troy, father-in-law of Dardanus Jupiterson)
Troes pl. 30 occurrences (descendants of Tros, ancestor of the Aeneas
people)
Dardanides, 19 occurrences (after Dardanus Jupiterson);
Aeneadae, 18 occurrences.
In Codex Upsaliensis Tyrkland and Tyrkir are replaced by Rumaborg
(=Troy).
