Here’s a song I wrote in Old English a while ago, which I have decided to remake. Music, lyrics and arrangement by myself, with vocals by me and my wife. The song is dedicated to perhaps the greatest Englishman in history, King Alfred the Great. The song is largely based on the Anglo Saxon Chronicle’s telling of the Battle of Edington/Ethandun in which King Alfred overcame the Great Heathen Army and baptised their king, Guthrum. In a church in my hometown, there’s a stained glass window which portrays Alfred with the tagline “Subduer of the Danes”, which I thought was an awesome title, so I just had to implement it! I hope you enjoy! If you'd like to support my work, you can do so here: buymeacoffee.com/theskaldicbard/ Thank you for your kindness. Lyrics in description. My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence.
I feel Tolkien would have absolutely loved this. He loved the Anglo-Saxons and was very keen on songs, if you have read any of his works you know it!!!
Yes!! I read Beowulf and other Anglo-Saxon literature before I read the Lord of the Rings ... I'm glad, because I think I got way more out of it than I would have otherwise. His inspiration is super clear.
Poor Tolkien even felt a *great* despair over the Norman conquest. Considering it a disruption of true English culture and heritage. I can't help but agree with him, personally.
as someone who hails from a small town in south west England called Cippanhamme,(old english) where King Alfred the great sister was married to the king of Mercia. it was later sacked by Danelaw and shortly after Alfred beat the Danelaw army at Edington. it brings me so much joy hearing this! really great work man! im really getting into Anglo-Saxon history
May I recommend a society called The English Companions - Tha Engliscan Gesithas. It covers Old English language, history and culture and has an excellent quarterly magazine.
Such a truly inspirational tale of a man who stood tall over so many brutal warriors, defending his people and increasing their quality of life, and encouraging the realm to learn and read. He truly earned the nickname "The Great".
If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to buy plots of land all over the English countryside and commission 20ft statues of Anglo-Saxon Kings to be built there. You'll be walking over the hills of Gloucestershire one day and see Æðelstan standing proud watching over his land. One can dream.
And me i'm gonna honour the true natives of Britannia, the Brythonic celts , their only descendants are the welsh and cornish, like Boudica, And especially the King Arthur, the greatest Brythonic ever lived.
Saint Alfred, pray for us. Named my second son for him. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend the Life of Alfred, by Asser, especially the Giles translation.
As a kurd who is fascinated with the western History,this song is the real banger of the ones i listend to so far in your channel. The last 2 verses really hit me hard That he is called great thanks to his good deeds.
What a gift! It came exactly when I was studying Anglo-Saxon history before to the Norman conquest. King Alfred is a fascinating character to learn about. Most popular culture prefers to narrate stories about Viking invaders rather than those who fought pirate invasions. Early English history is fascinating, from the Saxon conquest to the shift in beliefs, internal battles, unifications, Viking invasions, religion disputes, and so on. Damn, I'm not even English, but the events of 1066 almost brought me to tears. Thankyou for this!
It's an astonishing gift from God, sir, you are a gift, your talent, and the Tongue of David's poetry. May our lord, who is in heaven bless you and your family. We shall pray for you. From a fellow brother in Christ.
Friend! Am at my grandmothers at the moment and introduced her to your music: the following is what she commends of you She thinks your flair for languages is astounding and impressive and she thinks the world could do with more of people like you. Back to my praises now. I’m really pleased you’ve remade this, it is genuinely one of my favourite and the difference in quality is astounding compared to the original. Well done. This is so much smoother and clearer than the previous. Well done Loved that your wife joined in. Added more depth Keep it up as always God bless

What a coincidence that I'm watching the TV series "The Last Kingdom" right now, in which Alfred is one of the main characters And the song itself turned out to be amazing. Great job!
As an American 🇺🇸 with Ancestry from England 🏴 Denmark 🇩🇰 and Sweden 🇸🇪. This song really hits! I love learning about our Anglo Saxon and Viking ancestors and love learning of both cultures. However, Alfred the Great definitely is probably my favorite Anglo Saxon (and one person of that age) if it was not for him we would most likely be speaking some form of an Old Norse derived language like Danish. Old English may not have evolved to our Modern English and theoretically could have died out. 💯🏴🗡️✊🏻 Also much love to any of our distant Kinfolk in Europe. 🧬🩸🌳
If there ever was a King who did deserve the title " The Great" King Alfred certainly fits the bill. Extravagant song you've made here Sir; perfect mix of intense Choir war chanting for motivational drawl and complementary instrumental melody ( specifically the flute). What makes it special to me is how the story being told is just at the right tempo to hear the words in its fullness, close to how a bard tells a tale. This definitely is one of your top works. I'm looking forward to the Spotify release, God bless Sir to you and your wife for your excellent art!
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 oh nvm you quoted one of his speeches. I cannot tell you, you must seek it out yourself😅 let’s just say he’s a politician from the early 1900s
Loving these remakes. The originals were good, but these carry the mark of better audio and a finer tuning that is a delight to see. Keep it up and I look forward to more.
As an American with ancestry in England, this is so beautiful. I adore the song and the power behind it. King Alfred the Great was a great Englishman to be sure. To dedicate this song to him is appropriate. I enjoy hearing the words sung in the languages of my ancestors. Learning more about history and languages though song is great.
I've been silently begging for this so much over the past few days, thank you so much! p.s. its almost like the Skaldic Bard can read my mind, because it seems that almost everytime I wish for something, he uploads it within a week (it happened with Herr Mannelig and the Gallowglass Warriors, too!)
A great remix! Feels like England could use another Alfred these days. All of Europe, too, for that matter. Someone we could hail as “gewieldend Sarkena ond iudena”. (Forgive my grammar.)

The fact you didn't just remake this but but had your wife joined in i could imagine a remake of last varangians in the future having your mrs sing alongside apparently theres a rare note saying there was a rare female varangian
I have been listening to your music for I'd guess 6 months now, and frankly find it fantastic. Really enjoyable stuff, the Germanic Songs and specifically Old English Songs really scratch an itch for me, being of Germanic descent, and finding the history so enjoyable. Not sure if you've studied either language but the idea of a sort of North Sea Germanic/"Ingvaeonic" tune including, Old English, Old Frisian, and Old Saxon could be really cool. Anyway, keep it up and Godspeed brother I'm excited for what is to come!
Thank you, friend! I do have some plans for that neck of the woods, just a matter of finding enough reliable material to give it a good go. Appreciate the support!
@Dovahkiin8646 lol more than magic. It literally adds in the Norse gods and then later spits in their faces in a secret ending by saying, "turns out all the Norse gods were actually our made up pre-human race called Isu" like they did with Christianity in earlier games. Additionally, many historical figures and events didn't happen in the game the way they actually did, and it makes a mockery by twisting history so the Vikings dominate all of England. The Christophobia is real with Valhalla, and that's not even just because you play as a Viking.
@@OnCydigI agree about Valhalla, but the older games were better, but yeah, it does seem like they hate Christianity, I only play AC for the historical part, which is, sadly, being removed more & more in recent games.
@@SkaldBard I shall be praying for you as well, Skald. Actually I'm thinking of taking Alfred's name as my second confirmation name beside Augustine's. It'll be either him or St. Magnus.
I just found out a new region of music you should check out- Occitan, France. The region was originally a Basque area that got culturally absorbed by the Celts, conquered by the Romans & then the Franks. All their Medieval folk music, that I've found so far, either sounds like English/ German/ Scandanavian folk, or some sort of primitive Oompah (usually the latter when it seems to be party music). Just to be sure it's not Basque influence, I looked up what their music sounds like & that's more like a cross between Irish & Greek. Nothing like this.
The English and the Germans have common roots, but that was almost 2000 years ago. They have been different for a long time and there is no need to combine them.
@@ndie8075 Yes. By the way, one of the reasons why the English and Germans became different. 😉 And one more thing, all humanity originated from Africa. does this mean that we are related to blacks?
@@Robespierre228 by the way there is still a amount nearly of 50%...of Anglo Saxon DNA in some counties of England....similiar to northwest germans ....according to the max plank institut Hamburg.die believe me we are better with the english😉...I've been many many times in England we are the same people
@@Robespierre228 r3tard3d logic. The English and Germans are ethnically related. In terms of shared common ancestry, cultural and linguistic heritage we are certainly VERY closely related. Nothing like comparing English people to sub-saharans. No to mention that it's very silly indeed to compare modern day sub-saharans in regards to phenotype and DNA to the first Homo Sapiens lmao
My huge trip is in July, I am going on an expedition to make a little bit of history, Ill be able to share more in July as information becomes more accurate.

believe me we are better with the english😉...I've been many many times in England we are the same people
@@Robespierre228 r3tard3d logic. The English and Germans are ethnically related. In terms of shared common ancestry, cultural and linguistic heritage we are certainly VERY closely related. Nothing like comparing English people to sub-saharans. No to mention that it's very silly indeed to compare modern day sub-saharans in regards to phenotype and DNA to the first Homo Sapiens lmao
