"Håkon Den Gode" - Norse Song of The Battle of Fitjar 

Still got shit on

@@fatgoldenboy6986 but they have a sing written about them, so they win

They didn't call him "Sterke" (the strong) for nothing!

@@Grubnar I meant the other way around, the invaders got shit on by the norwegians

The problem was that the same line of thinking got Olav Tryggvason killed at Svolder in 1000. Norwegians thought that the Danes were useless at sea, which were true most of the time, but at Svolder Norwegians rebels fought on the Danish side.

If I could give this comment two upvotes, I would.

I want to live in a world where in history books instead of text, there are these songs which explain history

You just found it.

@@Smurrei Nice correction there. This song (but also others published by Ingen, like Stanford Brua and Eirik Jarl) was actually made by the band Legende, but since Harald Foss plays and/or sing in 90% of their songs, people who publish it like to call it just Harald Foss.

No this is a certified Norse classic moment

@@Dragonite_Tom the song is in modern norwegian

@@varangianguard7102 the map and song is about ancient Norse era

@@Dragonite_Tom yes but the song itself is sung in norwegian

I wish we had songs like this in Denmark.

He died from wounds after the battle though, so even though his enemies lost the battle, they won the war.

6-1 is still 6-1. It's a great victory.

​@@branofilipovic9608 Aye, but his name lived on which was the most important thing for the Norse.

@@branofilipovic9608 They lost the war but ok

If you like this work, it might be worth to check out Vikingskog. He/she has published much of Harald Foss/Legende, so perhaps you'll find more you like

Kan du forstå dansk?

@@CyrodiilicKhajiit Ja, litt. (I took Conversational Danish classes at the local community college my senior year in high school, which probably helped with getting admission to Concordia College (Moorhead, MN), which was just starting to develop its Scandinavian Studies program when I got there. And I took Conversational Swedish classes for my last 1 1/2 years of undergrad, at nearby Moorhead State University. On a cross-country train ride across Denmark the summer after my junior year, I started chatting (in my best Bokmaal-accented Danish) with the Danes in the next seat, and they thought I was Norwegian!)

It's not exactly Nynorsk either, this is more so medieval Norwegian. But most of these songs were preserved by people in the districts from which nynorsk is based on so I see where the confusion stems from.

@@CyrodiilicKhajiit nobody understands danish 😂

Well, Haakon was Christian

Holy fuck you people are so cringe

@@varangianguard7102 ‘Christian’ back than in Scandinavia was something very different than it is today. Most people in that area at that time that converted only ‘converted’ because 1-Their King or Jarl had converted and used their army to force the population to convert too ( and most Kings and Jarls only converted to get trade benefits/free trade with Christian countries; to get funds/money/help from the Church in Rome; to avoid war with a Christian country in mainland Europe; to be able to marry a Christian woman from the royalty of other country; to secure an alliance with a Christian country in Europe; or to consolidate their rule in their own territory since one of the main ways to validate your claim to a throne at the time was claiming ancestry from a God or claiming to be directly sent from heavens by a God or chosen by a God, but it wasn’t exactly an easy thing to do, since you had to be extraordinary at something, such as being extremely intelligent or extremely good at fighting or extremely talented in art or maybe perform miracles or do magic tricks for people to believe you… so claiming ancestry/favoritism from a God that came from a far away land and completely different culture and that people knew little to nothing about, such as Jesus Christ, was much easier and more believable for a guy that had nothing that special. Plus in a polytheistic religion, even if you claim to be the descendant of a God or be sent by/chosen by a God and even if people believe you, someone else can just as easily come along and claim the same about some other God, and people believe him, join his side and fight against you for the throne. But in a religion with only one God, all other claims become invalid automatically ), and 2-Because they went to battle, or went through a famine, or some sort of other hardship like that, and prayed to Jesus “just to try out this new God”, and somehow they made it out alive and they attributed that miracle to him. So most of the times, a King or Jarl that “became Christian” was only so in name, but in reality still had completely non-Christian practices ( didn’t pray, didn’t go to Church Sunday morning, didn’t read the Bible, didn’t donate to the poor, loved to get drunk, didn’t fast, married several wives at the same time and had a lotta sex outside marriage, didn’t carry around a crucifix, still like to be burnt in their funeral instead of buried, still liked going to war just for the sake of it, still attacked, robbed, killed and destroyed Churches and priests, etc ) and most often even still believed in the Old Gods, and even prayed to them in private. Meanwhile, the common people who converted often did so simply out of fear of what would happen if they didn’t convert, but in private were also still Pagan ( much like the Jews who were still Jewish in secret in Europe for centuries ), and many others ‘converted’ willingly but only saw Jesus was one more God to add to their Patheon, and worshipped him as someone on the same level as other Gods ( and often also even saw him as the same as some already existing Norse God, such as Baldr ).

I dont know dude. ur a pagan, me and my country (greece) are Traditional Christian.

I don't think the modern letter "Å" has a runic version...

@@Zapp4rn aa in runes possible.

@@jarlnils435 sure, but i think they just used the same rune for "A" as for "Á/Å" so an A should work fine

@@Zapp4rn Haakon is the old spelling for Håkon. Aa is still used by people who don't have the scandinavian keyboard, instead of the å.

@@jarlnils435 the old norse letter was "á" then it got removed in danish and norwegian i think, so they used "aa" instead until we got the letter "å" or something like that..., I'm swedish and i've never seen "aa" anywhere but in danish place names but idk

The map is a fair interpretation of what Norway’s territory was in 961. The Sámi lands in northeastern Troms and Finnmark weren’t brought under Norwegian control until quite a bit later. On the other hand, this map includes the southeastern counties that were Norwegian in 961 but are now part of Sweden.

@@bfrobin446 thanks 🙂 yeah i assume that was the area which is historically refered to as "Sapmi" ? ❤️

​@@bfrobin446 Yes, its essentially shows what was controlled by the crown at the time.
