Awesome channel. Great job bringing these old stories to life. It was great seeing this tale reflected in The Northman.
Thanks! Very interesting...
Loved the video! I hope you make more!
Awesome
There could be a conection to sleeping beauty or the sleeping hero/king in the mountain kind of fairy-tale? I read that her sleep was like the 'supernatural-stasis' of this fae-beings - an hibernation of metamorphosis? fuel by their/familiar-spirit's parasitic subtle-body, who fuel their metamorphosis-process? (remind the Pleco-fish's dray-hibernation or the chrysalis/cocoon insect stage), like the slavic obour, the native american skademagutc and the cheeno, beings that shamanic practiciners can became aftet death, which accord to the nordseman believes, death can be a start of new form of existence.
Once read about a Viking that before becoming a great explorer while raiding somewhere in England (or Scotland..) entered an underground place. While there he saw a man holding a sword that shone. He killed the man and took the sword. And that is all I remember. Perhaps someday you can tell that full story!
Hey Sea Mouse, I found the story. It is in the Landnámabók (Book of Settlement) 5th chapter. Since this is a very short story, without any detail, I give you the full text here, in the comments.
The name of the viking is Leifur Hróðmarsson.
Leifur fór í hernað í vesturvíking. Hann herjaði á Írland og fann þar jarðhús mikið. Þar gekk hann í, og var myrkt, þar til er lýsti af sverði því, er maður hélt á. Leifur drap þann mann og tók sverðið og mikið fé af honum; síðan var hann kallaður Hjörleifur. Hjörleifur herjaði víða um Írland og fékk þar mikið fé; þar tók hann þræla tíu…
Leifur went to raid to the West. He landed in Ireland and found there a big earthen house. He entered, and inside it was dark, save the glow of a sword, which was held by a man. Leif killed that man and took the sword and much money from him; after that he was called Hjörleifur. (i.e. sword-Leifur)
Hjörleifur raided many parts of Ireland and got a lot of money there; there he took ten slaves…
Later Hjörleifur was killed by these Irish slaves.
@@vikinglia5663 Thank you I appreciate. The story stuck on my mind (was reading Lord of the Rings then and thought maybe this where Tolkien got inspiration for the glowing swords). Now I got the name (and the full story). Thank you again!
