The Smeldingi (German: Smeldinger, Polish: Smolińcy) was a northwestern Slavic tribe mentioned in 9th-century sources.^[1] They were one of four constituent tribes of the Vistulans, along with the Linonen, Bethenici and Morizani.^[2] They lived east of the Elbe river. Obotrite prince Thrasco laid waste to their capital, and Frankish prince Charles the Younger unsuccessfully campaigned against the Linonen and Smeldingi in 808.
