3rd book?! *violently waves fistful of dollars*

[@KendraLeeStenberg]

Hervor's the definition of drengr

[@itsmeJulieKline]

Hervor and her tales are the most intriguing to me. I was thinking about her the other day, hoping there would come another video of her tellings. Here it is, thank you Dr. Jackson Crawford for sharing her tale and sharing most interest in it as well.

[@RichardRohlin]

As you know, this is a saga I'm very interested in, as I am doing my thesis on the version found in the Hauksbok manuscript. Thank you for sharing!

[@olofbjorkstrom]

Very good cover of this often forgotten saga. As a native Swede I can relate to this as most events take place there before moving to Eastern Europe. Just that some of the scaldic beauty gets lost in the English translation but it's mainly kept when translating into Swedish.

[@rellsw02]

A beautiful story of a daughters bravery.

[@nicolecrystal6765]

Such a real pleasure to have the privilege of being able to listen to this thank you pure gold !!! And you voice is my favorite I love your voice especially so !

[@barbaralegrand4300]

Thokk Dr. Crawford, for this most beautiful translation. And also for your well spoken version of the original saga, which is inspiring. Because of my job, I'm often talking to Flamish speaking people. Astounding is, how faithfully little Flanders has maintained the same quality pronounciation of the r's and of all the range of vowels we find in old Norse. One secret how to conquer the rolling "r" (when you first wish to speak it) is to concentrate on the purity of the a - o - i - e - u/ü sounds before the famous r. When I concentrate on the beauty & purity of the vowels and when I respect the clear structure of the syllabs, the famous "r" starts to roll like a good motor. And by the way: Flanders people are by nature steady working, but slow speaking. This is my approach, but I hope it encourages people to try to well pronounce by themselves this beautiful language which your videos bring us for free. Far vel Dr. Crawford!

Excellent timing for a lady-saga; Here ye o publishers. I'll buy it. "You can't burn those flames so bright at night that the fires will terrify me. This woman's heart will never tremble even if a ghost appears before this door." I want to be part of that book club. Shout out to Berserker dotre. Jackson, you are a prolific treasure.

[@Tina06019]

Thank you, Dr. Crawford, for your work. For myself, I would have heeded my UnDead father’s warning.

[@sunshinesilverarrow5292]

What a treat, thank you so much! Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N

[@luciusavenus8715]

I would like to rad that one!! Thanks again Doc

[@gingerfloof777]

Dr Crawford, I am a huge fan of your videos, and always look forward to your uploads. I was wondering if you could make a video about Viking parenting, and common skills which would be passed down. I have two children, and enjoy teaching them the skills I have, and am very interested in what this would have been during the Viking age. Keep up the great work, Sir.

[@elfarlaur]

Unfortunately I feel like that's something which is hard to know. It may be mentioned in a few surviving stories though.

[@gingerfloof777]

elfarlaur yeah, I know it would be difficult to say, but if anyone knows about it, it's Dr. JC.

[@mistahanansi2264]

I enjoyed your telling of this story, if you can believe it.

[@wolfgaenger]

Excellent, thank you.

[@daveh3997]

Hooray! A third book! Take My Money!!!

[@275Ranger275]

One minute into this video, and I'm pretty sure this would make a fantastic Amon Amarth song / video.

[@JacobafJelling]

Crazy that “á gotu hennar” later became “og gå til hende” then “and walk to her” in. English

[@tlotus3032]

"I seem more than anything to be between worlds when around me there are fires burning." What a poignant (native) American translation.

[@kevinsmith9013]

Getting your family sword by berating ghosts into giving it up from the underworld is way more drengir than pulling it out of some dumb rock.

[@tlotus3032]

Ya especially when it's your berserker father.

[@TheCimbrianBull]

+Kevin Smith Hervor is as bad ass heavy metal as it gets! :-) I would really like to watch a movie version of this. :-)

[@erho2967]

Nice!

[@stevethompson8866]

Dear Professor Jackson, i bought one of your books and are studying your videos, they are the best i have ever seen. I am currently studying the waking of Angantyr but i have a question.. have you left out 2 stanza`s ? After number 11 i have seen another 2 that have not been included here, could i ask your advice on this?

[@JacobafJelling]

The H in hjalmer is silent. “Jalmar”

[@Eli-ne3vu]

Fyrstyr!

[@UltimateNinjaSrb]

Uraa! You win-- Oh, wait; wrong channel.

[@Eli-ne3vu]

Hehe

[@swinhelm389]

What's with all the fire coming from Hel(l)? Is that Christian influence or did pre-Christian Norse think of Hel as being full of flames?

[@VikingsRBloodyAwsome]

swīnhelm I would guess that it's christian influence, Hel is often described as a cold place.

[@gavinburgess4374]

I always kind of imagined it as some sort of spell or magic used by the dead to try and scare Hervor since a lot of magic seems to be illusion in these sagas, but that's just my interpretation.

[@AndersJackson]

Hervararkvädet eller Hervararsagan på modern svenska.

[@JacobafJelling]

When you pronounce tyrfinger put emphasis on the Y more. TYRfingeR. And in “finger”, pronounce it less like the English “finger” but put a Nordic pressure when pronouncing the second part of finger. Fin-ger. Keep it up mate
