It's song from a Norseman basically. He's singing in modern Norwegian but it still sounds great. Would love to hear it in Old Norse which is what the Norsemen/Danes/Vikings spoke.
@@bekkerz7789 I'm impressed by your knowledge about this kind of stuff. I am really into history aswell but I never went that deep into the history of my own country, which is sad now that I think about it. They don't teach us a lot in school about the history of Germany here, all we learn here is that we lost two world wars :D So if you don't look it up yourself you will never find out how rich the history of Germany (and Europe as a whole) actually is.
I agree. I have heard many traditional French songs (I sing quite a few myself), and this does not sound like a French tune. The subject matter may be French, but the song sung here is not. It definitely sounds Northern European.
This has zero connection to Norse Mythology. The song may be Norwegian, but the story it tells is that of the Song of Roland. Roland was a general of Charlemagne, and in the legend he is a hero blessed by God and the angels; wielding the holy sword Durandal.
Roland: is Christian Frankish, basically a French-German who was renowned for battling heathens and died heroically mowing down saracens. Norwegians: « let’s make a song about him lol »
Rollo was a Viking. He was granted land in France by the king after multiple attacks on Paris. He later served the king and fought the enemies of the French. His people the Normans later conquered the English at the battle of Hastings. The Vikings had a major impact on Western European history. Til valhall vikinger og sønner av Odin!

Is that REALLY a version of "La Geste de Roland" in Swede ? Haw, man, however tis SO BADASS, and no french song can overpass it, a Frenchman has spoken
I don't know about this exact song, but there have been many folksongs based on the chansons de geste concerning Charlemagne, Roland and the Peers of France, particularly in the Spanish and Portuguese traditions.
@@helligevaar Norway wasn’t a unified kingdom until Christendom took hold. So to answer your question, pretty much everything from after the 11th century. Stop with the pagan larp and learn to embrace real Norwegian cultural values and traditions, most of which we know today stem from after the Christian conversion, which took place over a millennia ago
@@basedgodkyon Read "Våre Tradisjoner" by Vegard Solheim. You know, that our Scandinavian traditions are pagan in their roots is no secret knowledge, so why is it so hard to learn? What is keeping you from it? And as I said earlier, sure some of our traditions are Christian, but the ones that are, are never that "positive". WE would manage better without them. Now stop larping as a foreign desert people!

I really like this song. I enjoyed to hear it, by the Skald Harald Foss. Awesome. Thanks.

I love this song. Glittertind made a great cover of it.
Sehr schöne Ballade.
Amazing version!

Norway did get christianized and latinized after the viking age resistance, so former enemies became heroes to them.

The best parts are those about butchering heathens and bluemen.
You are clearly proud of your Norwegian heritage, yet you still scorn Germanic Polytheism.. Ironic isn't it?
@@helligevaar There is no scorn, as the heathens in question are not norse heathens. And even it it were, there would still be no irony there.
