I'm a Catholic British/Irish medieval enthusiast who likes to play instruments and write and sing songs about times gone by, often accompanied by my beloved wife.
I am a translator of the Scandinavian languages in my day job, but have a special penchant for the Old Norse language and medieval Scandinavian history. This will make up the bulk of my songs, but I hope to write songs in a variety of old languages.

Herr Männerlingl has been one of my most beloved songs to repeat and listen for both its musical and linguistical value So far, your iteration is now my favorite of all the female singers, including the original singer; by far your voice is the most beautiful for a song of this tale Excellent work madame
Well, to be honest, Visigoths spoke latin when they settled in nowadays Spain, hence this song difficulty a Visigoth that lived in the 7th or 8th might been able to understand a single word. Nowadays Spaniards are not descendants of these Germanic neither whatever other Germanic people as DNA studies prove. It's absurd to claim a Visigothic heritage beyond culture and some monuments still remaining in Spain from that kingdom.
Most varangians were Anglo-saxon by the 11th century so if there were any remaining varangians it's likely they would have been English. Fun fact, the last known descendant of Constantine XI fought in the English civil war. He has a grave in England (I forgot where).
I am bilingual Russian Ukrainian with an linguistic background - great pronounsation! By the way, I read and understand titles, but not so good understand when hear only.
I clicked onto this after listening to the old version literally just before. I IMMEDIATELY noticed the steep improvement of quality just from the first few strums on the lyre. Crazy. Keep the work up, it's awesome what you're doing!
This is great and so well done! My surname is Godwin and I have read a great deal about the family history the last couple of decades (many books/lots of DNA). This video actually came up while I was digging into research. What an excellent way to present the story. Thanks for creating this and sharing out for others like me to enjoy!
I’m not afraid in saying this is probably the most powerful song you’ve made, even compared to the originals, and it helps understand how Latin can be spoken in a folk setting, which is just super cool to me
This has the best lyrics and melody of a song I have listened in a while and you have uploaded it on my breakup day, touched me differently. Brilliant work
The Visigoths replaced the Vandals from who the Moors praobaly descended Moors direct ancestors were the Berbers (Caucasian stock) and Arab mix. The Berbers themselves seem to from a mix of indigenous North African Caucasian tribes. The Vsndals settled the Mediterranean coast of North Africa where the Berbers live.
France had acceoted baxk paganism long before the Molsem Saracens returned. If they are to bring greatest back to France, then France will need to accept CHRIST back into the lives of the French. Charles Martel and his grandson Charlemagne were not part but before the Reconquista which happen in Spain so speaks someone who supposed to be from the bloodline of Charlemagne and part of the royal Spanish blood line who help lead the Reconquista. and th
If all power went out , and most of the men of earth perish , I would be so sad to not be able to hear this anymore. And wish to keep your voices and music part of my soul forever .

Praise God and Praise you for this MasterPeice that brings me power thru Him and your words about Him as well ast years which well up sometimes to His Magnificent Majesty and You beautiful voices hearts and souls . Be victorious and everlasting my beautiful Anglos
This is such a beautiful song, I love it so much. The vocals sound so amazing. It touches my heart. The song is so beautiful yet sad, and I love the sound of Latin. Wonderful work, Skaldic Bard. War is indeed a terrific thing, both nowadays or as it was in the past.
Not only was this excellently performed by all, but your father's spoken Latin narration was pretty much flawless! Is your father also linguistically inclined like yourself?
