(What is Chasa?)
Chasa was a group of Slavic sea robbers, who fought in a way similar to Scandinavian Vikings. Chasniks (chasnicy – that is how Slavic people called men who fought in Chasas) lived in biggest Sea trade centers and ports of western Pomerania and lands of Obotrites and Veleti tribes. Slavic chasnics were great sailors and fighters. Even brave Vikings tried to avoid their coasts and lands until half of XIth century. Later in response to every raid Chasas were plundering Danish islands and Scania.
Yuloin is Xth century name of the city which we currently know as Wolin. It is located in western Pomerania, and around the middle of Xth and XIth century, before raid of Magnus I city had around 9000 citizens and controlled the whole island of Wolin.

(History)
According to legends first fights between Slavic Chasa and Danes took place in VIth century. When Wizymir grandson of Lech takes from Danes many islands, among them powerful Rugen, Funen and Als. His next success is conquering Jutland and Scania. Danish ruler Siward gives homage to Wizymir and undertakes to pay tribute. Siwards son Jarmerik is sent to Wizymir court as a guaranty . After Siwards death his son becomes ruler and stops paying tribute, Wizymir again invades Denmark plundering the country. His prisoners he places at the mouth of river Vistula and that is how Danish settlement Densk which is now known as Gdańsk has been built. After Wizymirs death his country falls apart and only prince Krak (founder of Krakow) is able to unite the tribes again in circa 700 year.
Around X century the land of Piasts grows powerful and is expanding towards the Baltic sea, after the loss of Wolinians and Veletis lead by Saxon graf Wichmann against Mieszko I in year 967 Pomerania goes under Polans prince rule. In year 970 Danish king Harald Bluetooth reached an agreement with Wolinians and established new stronghold of Jomsborg. Palnatoki becomes First Jarl of Jomsborg and builds a port for 300 ships. In year 985 takes place the battle at river Fyris in Sweden, where Norwegian king Erik is supported by Polan warriors from numerous procession of Sygryda Storrada, or Swietoslawa (Mieszko’s I daughter). Polan warriors are cutting off Danish reinforcements moving to help Jarl Strybjorn Starki. Also in this year Polans capture depopulated Jomsborg to indispose return for Jomsvikings.
First Jarl of Jomsborg who favors the Piasts becomes Olaf Tryggvason. In year 995 Tryggvason leading his own fleet supported by Jomsvikings invades Norway, expels his sons and announces himself a king. His engagement and later conflict with Swiatoslawa makes him go with his fleet to war on Slavic shores. At the height of Rugen island the fleets of Denmark, Sweden and Slavic Chasas are awaiting him. At the day of 9th September year 1000, fleet of Slavs and Wolinians participate in the biggest Viking battle of Svolder, which ends with defeat of Norwegian fleet and death of king Olaf. In year 1043 takes place the expedition of Slavs and Jomsvikings to Denmark, and raiding Hedeby and Arhus, retaliatory expedition of King Magnus I destroys Jomsborg and Wolin, which is quickly rebuilt, and in year 1069 fleet of Slavs and survived Jomsvikings participate in victorious expedition on England.
The history of great Slavic Chasas ends with conquering of polabian Slavs tribes and Rugen island by Danish King Valdemar I in year 1160, and fail of recapturing it by Pomeranian prince Bogislaw I Griffin in year 1184 and his homage given to Denmark in year 1185.
