"Håkon Den Gode" - Norse Song of The Battle of Fitjar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- The battle of Fitjar occured in 961 when Harald Bluetooth of Denmark sent the remnants of the Norwegian pretender rebels as well as the Danish army to the island of Stord to kill the Norwegian king. Without a proper army, and only his personal guard to protect him, the Norwegian king fought outnumbered 6:1 against the invaders for the fate of his realm.
The song was made by Norwegian folk singer Harald Foss

@@Smurrei Nice correction there. This song (but also others published by Ingen, like Stanford Brua and Eirik Jarl) was actually made by the band Legende, but since Harald Foss plays and/or sing in 90% of their songs, people who publish it like to call it just Harald Foss.

@@advitiya259 irocally, thats often how it was done before writing
King Hakon: "We are surrounded 6 to 1"
Toralv Sterke Skolmsson: "Then it is an even fight."
Still got shit on
@@fatgoldenboy6986 but they have a sing written about them, so they win
They didn't call him "Sterke" (the strong) for nothing!
@@Grubnar I meant the other way around, the invaders got shit on by the norwegians
The problem was that the same line of thinking got Olav Tryggvason killed at Svolder in 1000. Norwegians thought that the Danes were useless at sea, which were true most of the time, but at Svolder Norwegians rebels fought on the Danish side.
there's a timelessness of hearing the biggest mfer in the invading army going "where's their king?" and the king goes "keep coming and you'll find him"
The good old Norwegian kings. Asks his men if they want to risk the fight or evacuate instead. Has a named sword. Helpfully directs enemy commander to his location so they can have a duel in the middle of a battle. Wins the duel and the battle, despite six to one odds (granted, a well equipped royal guard fighting on home ground vs light infantry tired from rowing in).
I wish we had songs like this in Denmark.
He died from wounds after the battle though, so even though his enemies lost the battle, they won the war.
6-1 is still 6-1. It's a great victory.
@@branofilipovic9608 Aye, but his name lived on which was the most important thing for the Norse.

I truly appreciate having both Nynorsk & English subtitles with the song. I was happy to see how much Norwegian I remembered from college back in the 1970s by following along with the subtitles. (I was taught Bokmaal, but I learned a lot of dialect folksongs in the Norwegian glee club at my college, and that really has helped with understanding Nynorsk as well.)
Kan du forstå dansk?
@@CyrodiilicKhajiit Ja, litt. (I took Conversational Danish classes at the local community college my senior year in high school, which probably helped with getting admission to Concordia College (Moorhead, MN), which was just starting to develop its Scandinavian Studies program when I got there. And I took Conversational Swedish classes for my last 1 1/2 years of undergrad, at nearby Moorhead State University. On a cross-country train ride across Denmark the summer after my junior year, I started chatting (in my best Bokmaal-accented Danish) with the Danes in the next seat, and they thought I was Norwegian!)
It's not exactly Nynorsk either, this is more so medieval Norwegian. But most of these songs were preserved by people in the districts from which nynorsk is based on so I see where the confusion stems from.
@@CyrodiilicKhajiit nobody understands danish 😂

Doesn't get brought up in the song, but Håkon the Good died after the battle of Fritjar in 961, from wounds inflicted during the battle. This lead to Harald Greycloak (one of Eirik Bloodaxe's sons, who was the brother of Haakon the Good and the 'leader' being sent against Håkon by the danes) taking power, until he later got betrayed and killed by Harald Bluetooth of Denmark. Greycloak started killing pro-Harald Bluetooth jarls in south-east norway, so Bluetooth lured him to Denmark saying he was gathering an army to fight against the Franks. He then set up an ambush in the Limfjord where Greycloak and his men were killed.
Eirik's sons tried three times to wrestle power from their uncle, failed twice and lost the last battle but still 'won' since Håkon died. Greycloak was also the third in line, since Eirik's oldest son Gamle was killed in the first battle, and Guttorm in the second.
Eirik was the oldest living son when Harald Fairhair died, and was groomed to be high-king over his brother, but he was not a popular man and lost power quickly to his younger brother Håkon. He went to northern england, but was ousted from power there as well and most likely died in a battle seven years prior to the battle in this song.

When Ingen uploads, you know the song is not only interesting, but also good. I heard some songs from Harald, but didn't really liked them, except for Rolandskvadet a one another. But this, this is good. I don't know if we have similar taste in music, but he always finds the best version of each song, and best songs from each period.
Harald Foss sang this one first...

Help me I cant stop listening to this
Haakon Haraldsson (c. 920-961), also Haakon the Good (Old Norse: Hákon góði, Norwegian: Håkon den gode) and Haakon Adalsteinfostre (Old Norse: Hákon Aðalsteinsfóstri, Norwegian: Håkon Adalsteinsfostre), was the king of Norway from 934 to 961. He was noted for his attempts to introduce Christianity into Norway
yet he still loved the old ways as he was labeled as an apostate. also nice wikipedia ctrl+c

@@paganpriest4792 If it makes you feel any better, his attempt to introduce christianity was largely unsuccessful, and it is even possible that he apostitized late in his life because his christian faith made him unpopular amongst his vassals.

This is what the old Norwegians Kings fought for- our independence against our neighbors. We are an independent nation finally again. We fought for that independence in 1905 and in 1940. We will fight for it again
Fight for your independence in 1940s?, you fought off the only nation that actually praised and cared for your people. Look at norway now. You are flooded with arabs and africans that murders and rapes you, in some decades you will be a minority in your own country.

Well, Haakon was Christian
Holy fuck you people are so cringe
@@varangianguard7102 ‘Christian’ back than in Scandinavia was something very different than it is today. Most people in that area at that time that converted only ‘converted’ because 1-Their King or Jarl had converted and used their army to force the population to convert too ( and most Kings and Jarls only converted to get trade benefits/free trade with Christian countries; to get funds/money/help from the Church in Rome; to avoid war with a Christian country in mainland Europe; to be able to marry a Christian woman from the royalty of other country; to secure an alliance with a Christian country in Europe; or to consolidate their rule in their own territory since one of the main ways to validate your claim to a throne at the time was claiming ancestry from a God or claiming to be directly sent from heavens by a God or chosen by a God, but it wasn’t exactly an easy thing to do, since you had to be extraordinary at something, such as being extremely intelligent or extremely good at fighting or extremely talented in art or maybe perform miracles or do magic tricks for people to believe you… so claiming ancestry/favoritism from a God that came from a far away land and completely different culture and that people knew little to nothing about, such as Jesus Christ, was much easier and more believable for a guy that had nothing that special. Plus in a polytheistic religion, even if you claim to be the descendant of a God or be sent by/chosen by a God and even if people believe you, someone else can just as easily come along and claim the same about some other God, and people believe him, join his side and fight against you for the throne. But in a religion with only one God, all other claims become invalid automatically ), and 2-Because they went to battle, or went through a famine, or some sort of other hardship like that, and prayed to Jesus “just to try out this new God”, and somehow they made it out alive and they attributed that miracle to him. So most of the times, a King or Jarl that “became Christian” was only so in name, but in reality still had completely non-Christian practices ( didn’t pray, didn’t go to Church Sunday morning, didn’t read the Bible, didn’t donate to the poor, loved to get drunk, didn’t fast, married several wives at the same time and had a lotta sex outside marriage, didn’t carry around a crucifix, still like to be burnt in their funeral instead of buried, still liked going to war just for the sake of it, still attacked, robbed, killed and destroyed Churches and priests, etc ) and most often even still believed in the Old Gods, and even prayed to them in private. Meanwhile, the common people who converted often did so simply out of fear of what would happen if they didn’t convert, but in private were also still Pagan ( much like the Jews who were still Jewish in secret in Europe for centuries ), and many others ‘converted’ willingly but only saw Jesus was one more God to add to their Patheon, and worshipped him as someone on the same level as other Gods ( and often also even saw him as the same as some already existing Norse God, such as Baldr ).
song carried me through a 10 hour shift at maccas
It would've been even more epic if the text was written in runes
I don't think the modern letter "Å" has a runic version...
@@Zapp4rn aa in runes possible.
@@jarlnils435 sure, but i think they just used the same rune for "A" as for "Á/Å" so an A should work fine
@@Zapp4rn Haakon is the old spelling for Håkon. Aa is still used by people who don't have the scandinavian keyboard, instead of the å.
@@jarlnils435 the old norse letter was "á" then it got removed in danish and norwegian i think, so they used "aa" instead until we got the letter "å" or something like that..., I'm swedish and i've never seen "aa" anywhere but in danish place names but idk
Despite its not from my culture, its a honour to be European.

Why is the Map of Norway incomplete in this video? Wasnt the whole of Norway discovered/conquered at the time? Someone please explain.
Im 100% Norwegian and cultural songs like this is becoming more and more important as there are strong forces in our society that denies that Norway too have had a brutal and merciless History. History is trying to be rewritten by general ignoreism
and i think thats dangerious so thank you Ingen for sharing this vital piece of our historical inheritance.
The map is a fair interpretation of what Norway’s territory was in 961. The Sámi lands in northeastern Troms and Finnmark weren’t brought under Norwegian control until quite a bit later. On the other hand, this map includes the southeastern counties that were Norwegian in 961 but are now part of Sweden.

Håkon Den Gode Pt-Br
Espirito viking e o conselho Fregdar, Sobre isto é está canção
Fora de Stord foi que isto aconteceu, e Håkon ele era o rei
O rei sentou-se em Holmagard, e não tinha muitos homens
Então as ondas atuaram, na baía de Holmagard
O enviado do rei, vê então os barcos mais próximos
Muitos navios com velas listradas e para o fiorde remam
Rapidámente reune os homens do rei, para batalha não resguardado
O rei pergunta “quem pode dar cosnelhos, atacar ou ser atacado”
Responde entre o irmão do rei, ele Toralv Sterke Skolmsson
“Grande patife é aquele que foge de homens injustos e violentos”
“O rei sabe que ganhamos avassaladoramente antes”
Então todos responderam “Eu irei com o rei”
Então todos vestiram suas armaduras, e o rei desembanhou sua espada Kvernbit
O condado pôs-se escudo á escudo sob a bandeira de Håkon
Quando os agressores vieram sobre eles, o número era de seis contra um
No elmo e espada o sol brillhou como as ondas do mar
Na vanguarda dos agressores estava vikings de Øyvind Skrøya
Com os agressores ele avançou bravamente contra a bandeira de Håkon
Gritou alto ele Øyvind “Quero encontrar o rei dos nórdicos”
“Løyner ele se escondeu? ele está com medo? quem pode dizer a ele?”
Veio sobre os homens do rei uma força violenta e poderosa
Em plena raiva o próprio rei avançou
á frente da bandeira
“Venhas como tu estás vindo e encontrarás o rei dos nórdicos”
Balançou Håkon a kvernbit e Toralv sua espada fetbreid
A batalha foi então muito acirrada com grandes baixas
Håkon e seus homens, eram rudes decididram a batalha
Øyvind Berserk foi morto pela espada Kvernbit e deitou ao chão
O medo se espalhou entre os agressores, e fugiram das terras
