    Again by popular demand, here’s the remake of my song Harald Hardrada, composed and performed by me, based on Snorri Sturluson's Saga of Harald Hardrada.
    Harald Hardrada (lit. Harald the Harsh-Ruler - there are many interpretations/possible translations of this name, but I think Harsh-Ruler is probably the best) was, essentially, an absolute chad. Of all the Norwegian kings and heroes from the sagas, he’s probably my favourite. He achieved and did more in his 50-year life than most people could only dream of doing in several lifetimes. For the purposes of the song, I’ve picked out some of the highlights of his life as told in the saga.
    He fought with his half-brother St Olaf II at Stiklestad aged only 15, went east to Kievan Rus and Constantinople not long afterwards and quickly became the chief of the Varangian Guard for the Emperor. In this role, he fought many wars (too many to include in one song), but his mightiest achievements in this role were probably against the Bulgarian uprisings (which is how he gained the name “Bulgar Burner” - how friendly!).
    He fought the Saracens in the Middle East and Africa, visited all the Holy Sites in Palestine, became the King of Norway and beat back the Danes and Swedes, all the while composing some wonderful Skaldic poetry.
    Then, if all that wasn’t enough, he tried his hand at invading England with Harold Godwinson’s treacherous brother, Tostig. This appears to have been a step too far, as he was killed early in the battle by an arrow to the windpipe.
    My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence.
    Lyrics in description. Thanks for the support, as always.

    Bro lived a one hell of a adventurous life
    Related to a famous and legendary saint,
    Killed a byzantine king to restore power and profited from that same empire while being a mercenary,
    Became one of the richest men in scandinavia,
    Restored his families clan in his country,
    Battled with England's last anglo saxon king,
    Travelled in the same places where God once walked.

      I hate how Assassins Creed has become shit, there could be such a sick game set in the Byzantine Emperor based around the Varangians, just like there SHOULD be a game about the Sicarii, but you would have to meet Jesus in that game, which is why Ubisoft would never make it. That’s a game I have on the back burner, (the game based on the Sicarii) because I’m primarily focused on my game built upon European folklore, mythology and history called Fae, but once this game is done, Sicarii is next up.
      Harald Hadrada’s life is so off the walls, he’s like “the world’s most interesting man” of the Middle Ages.

    Just amazing as always!! Im loving these remasters. My father told me when Harald landed in Shetland to gather men to invade England he was after a tall Shetlander from the isle of Unst. This mans wife wasn’t pleased with Harald wanting her husband to fight alongside him and told Harald if he did so he would die. We all know what happened in 1066 so she was right 😯 The tall man from Unst apparently did return home, I’m sure his wife said i did say he would die 🤣

    I come from Sicily. My land has long been a witness to the greatness of the Norman People who arrived here and made this land militarily and navally powerful, rich and feared. There are countless Norman fortresses, strongholds, castles, churches, cathedral and donjons here in Sicily. Even the oldest royal residence in Europe present here in Sicily is called "Palazzo dei Normanni" that is palace of the Normans, and was in fact the royal residence of the Powerful Norman Sovereigns of Sicily. We Sicilians are honored to have been governed and guided by such great Warriors and Statesmen.

      I’m ethnically gothic along with multiple other varieties of Germanic (including multiple Norman lineages) Celtic, and Aryan, it’s crazy to me that my ancestors who were Gothic, then Lombards and finally Normans all fought for and ruled large parts of Italy at various times, and yet I have no Italian/Latin genetic contributions, despite having small amounts of Anatolian and Persian genetic contributions. I’m around 80% Northern and Western European with most of the remainder being Aryans from the Pontic-Caspian steppe from the Sintashta Culture (one of my direct patrilineal ancestors is one of the chariot kings from one of their burial sites) and tiny admixtures from various offshoots of these main stem ethnicities.

      @@Thor-Orion I know almost nothing about my genetic origins, the only thing that gives me hope is the fact that 15-20% of the DNA of the Island of Sicily comes from the Normans, particularly in the western part of the island. As it happens, I come from that area but unfortunately I don't know for sure my origins.

    Out of all the early Germanic languages you’ve sung so far which one do you find the most difficult? I’ve personally found the west Germanic languages easier to pick up than old Norse.

    One of my favourite songs of yours. I love both Harald Hardrada and Harold - and by that I mean both the historical figures and the songs you made about them. Btw are you going to remaster that one song in which you use three languages - Old English, Old Norse and Greek?

    This is one of the biggest what ifs in history in case Harald Hardrada won the battle at stamford bridge and became the king of England. How would the future be after ? Would England, Scotland and Nordics unite into one entity ? how would later on England develop and the world for that matter ?

      The Godwin family was made up of bad men. Godwin (accused of ķil-ing Saint Edward's brother), Tostig (envious of his own brother and brought the Norwegians to England), Sven (literally arrested for r@ -- 3), Harald (greedy for power, seeking to have more power than King Saint Edward himself).

    Tostig was a complete asshole, betrayed his brother and got killed at Stamford bridge.
    Harold lost so many men up north that William the bastard was barely able to beat him at Hastings, and the Anglo Saxons were crushed for centuries.
    Which is why Oxford history don, JRR Tolkien claimed that history ended in 1066.

    Hello Skaldic Bard, I really enjoyed listening to this. I really like your music, and I would be very grateful if you added this song, as well as your Harold Godwinson remake song to Spotify. I would also be grateful if you added Gunnarr at hlíðarenda and Haakon the Good. However, they have been out for a long while, and you have yet to add them to Spotify. If there is a reason you haven't added them, then you do not have to. And even if you don't, I thank you all the same, for I can still listen to them on TH-cam. I wish you a good day!
