Norse Crusader Song - St Rognvald, Jarl of Orkney

[@SkaldBard]

Edit: This song is now on Spotify and other streaming services if you are interested! Search for "The Skaldic Bard" This is a song I wrote and performed in Old Norse. It is dedicated to one of my favourite Saga heroes and a Catholic warrior-saint, Rǫgnvaldr Kali Kolsson, Jarl of Orkney. The song describes his decision to go to Jerusalem and the adventure that followed. My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence.

Came over from Ex Cathedra, was fully convinced you were just singing old poems until I read that you wrote these yourself. Blown away with the quality you put out, keep it up!

[@SkaldBard]

Thank you, good sir

Greeting from a Lebanese Maronite catholic, here in Beirut,sidon,Byblos and Tripoli used to be all crusade land’s, there is also many crusade ruins and castles left here, you are also really really talented, your songs on the crusades are beautiful! God bless you ✝️

That's awesome, thank you for the kind words - peace be with you from Europe, friend

Brilliant as always, my friend. Cannot put into words how much I admire you and respect you. Thanks for all the beautiful music you share with us.

[@glishev]

Oh, that's splendid! I became in love with Roland of Orkney's fine skaldic verse and I'm happy to hear a modern song about this warrior, poet and saint :)

[@SkaldBard]

Always great to see another St Ronald appreciator

[@user-zk5uj3wh5h]

I love learning about these sagas through your songs.

[@SkaldBard]

Awesome stuff man

[@FrankishMelchite]

I love you Skaldic Bard because I thought I was the only Catholic who has a passion for the Latin Norsemen! Love your content and songwriting, I love the discourse in the beginning with Endridi, and Rognvald, “I find it most strange Jarl that you choose not to fare to Jerusalem, you would be honored above all noble men.” Pax Christi, Skaldic friend of Hvitr Crist

[@SkaldBard]

That's awesome, my friend! A true crime that they don't receive more cultural attention. God bless, good sir

[@baecere2]

This is beautiful, a song of Hakon the good would be awesome, or of course someone from Sweden (Erik the victorious or Olof Skötkonung).

Greating from Bulgaria - country, defearted the Arabs near Constantinople in 718 and saved Christian Europe! A country baptized by the apostles Paul and Andrew the First Called! The country that baptized the Russians and the Serbs! The country that preserved its Christian faith with milions of victims during the centuries - old rule of the Ottoman Empire - in the summer of 1913 she commited the first genocide of the 20th century against the Bulgarians in Southeastern Thrace, in which 90000 Bullgarians were killed!
