Historia Norwegiae was written sometime between 1160 and 1175 CE in an unknown location. It contains a list of peoples in the North:

"But towards north many pagan tribes—alas!—stretch from the east behind Norway, namely Karelians (Kiriali) and Kvens (Kwæni), corneous Sami people (cornuti Finni) and both peoples of Bjarmia (utrique Biarmones). But what tribes dwell behind them, have we no certainty."


"There's medieval source from about Karelians to be found in Dublin university (as referenced by Finnish historian Klinge, 1983) it refers Karelians as "savages who are scared of every foreigner they encounter, and hide back to forest whenever they see one"."
