Rollo's War Poem
In the portuguese community of Steemit, I have a project called #TrovadoresNordicos (Nordic Minstrels), a tag that shows some history, prose poems and others writings about the Viking's era rich culture and mythology.
A character that is important to the proses and ballads of this culture is the skaldic god Brági, one of the poets of the Scandinavian Leaders' court, and a man that liked to declaim his poems touching harp.
One of the poems from the great Nordic universe can be found in an episode of Vikings TV series, declaimed by Rollo at the Bråvallaslaget, the Bravalla Battle, in the year 750 a.C., when the army of Lord Ragnar was attacked by the saxons. Rollo declaimed it when they were protecting themselves in the shield wall.
