In the lower left corner you can see the initials "CK". They belong to Christian Krogh (1852-1925). He was one of the four artists who together made about 220 drawings and over 100 decorations for the first (and best) fully illustrated version of the "Heimskringla". The other artists were Erik Werenskiold, Gerhard Munthe and Halfdan Egedius. All of these drawings were made in the same style, I do not know if the english version of the book have these illustrations. My norwegian print does.
A version of this ballad from Shetland in 1774 in the old Norn language is contained in an anthology of Shetland poetry edited by J.J. Graham and L.I . Graham (title: "A Shetland Anthology" published by Shetland Publishing Company, 1998) together with a Modern English translation by Professor W.G. Collingword.
It's only because the real gems are hidden and buried my friend. They take some work and effort to uncover, and that's why when you do, you appreciate their true value. Nowadays every thing is so gilded and gaudy to mask how worthless it truly all is, but genuine treasure always shines true.
Most people aren't cultured in this and on world basis it's not many people that understands the Nordic languages and even fewer Norwegians it's probably one of the smallest minorities in the world

While I cannot understand spoken Norwegian, I hope to change that after learning Norse, it pains me to have become so distant from my North Germanic ancestors, in a family that considers itself to be fully West Germanic. Norwegian is a beautiful language, protect your language and culture unlike my family has done.
I found the lyrics at nornlanguage.x10.mx/shet_txt_hild.htm but typing them all out would be a pain. Basically, this song is about an earl who saves a girl from captivity and marries her or something. Idk, the link's there if you want to go read it ^^
Thanks! All those Scandinavian languages (especially Faroese, Norwegian and Swedish) sound very much the same to my ears... ;) Btw. I'll start learning Norwegian very soon...
@@ssatu5792 Gosh… I gave up learning Norwegian in favour of Icelandic (for which I now have a BA-degree) when I moved here. Funnily enough, knowing Icelandic helps a lot with understanding Norwegian (and for that matter Norn).
@@20nine Well done! I just moved to the French Alps and will never look back to the degeneracy I left behind in "the stolen land of fat degenerates" :)
It is ok to use this picture as illustration. But the picture shows something quite different. The woman is Gyda, and the man coming riding is Harald Fairhair. Gyda is the woman who turned down Harald Fairhair when he proposed to her. She told him she considered her self as of far too much worth for a man like him, but he could return and ask again when he was king of all Norway. Norway was at this time divided in several small kingdoms. Harald's men considered this as an insult and with anger asked if they should retaliate to Gyda. Harald told them no, and that Gyda was right - he aught to be the king of Norway. He made an oath he would not tend to his hair before all of Norway was his. This he did, and when he had conqured all Norway he had his hair cut, washed and combed, and this was the time he got the name Harald Fair Hair. He chose another woman as his first queen, but later came back to Gyda and married her too. This was before christianity.
@@Vikingskog I did not mean my comment as a critisism of any kind, and will thank you for finding and posting the picture! :) Go on with finding such fine pictures to your postings! My comment was meant for it being fun for people to know the contents of the picture. Also most people outside Scandinavia misunderstand the name Harald Hairfair. They believe he had that name before he became king, and do not know he got the name first after tending to his hair after having concered all of Norway.
@aGeilini : Indeed :-) I am also norwegian.. And I wrote "norne" not "norse" or "old-norse". Norne was the now extinct language of the Shetlands Isles. What happened to the other Hildinakvadet on youtube? I liked that so much better :-(
@diutiscfolc : It would be sincerely appreciated if he could post it again. Why do people remove videos from youtube, is there a limit to how many videos you can post? hmm... and I gotta learn how to download from youtube :-)
Beautiful! No offense, but I'm still surprised of how similar Norse and Celtic cultures are (except for the language of course). You even use an instrument that sounds just like the Irish Low Whistle!
Norse and celtic cultures were very prosperous around the same times and traded much in the way of goods and knowledge. Naturally there are many similarities in the myths and culture too. It's no secret the Norse had many relations with the irish and scottish.
Alexis Golzman We make a lot of "Celtic" and "Norse" and "Germanic" culture.But essentially they are both Western European cultures. The differences are small and thy blend into each other.
The irish were under norse rule for 300 years, also many slaves or trælls were taken from there. Dyflinn or Dublin was built upon slave trade. So there had to be a culture exchange ;)

Aidan DerekGaming The hallingdal-dialect is pretty much dead/gone(every dialect near Oslo gets eaten up by the dialect in Oslo which is closest to bokmål) so yea you could speak bokmål.
The song is sung in a Norwegian dialect. By the way, you probably mean norse, not Norn. Norn is the version of old-norse the Norwegian vikings developed on the Shetland islands but the language went exinct after the scots took over the island (old-norse/norse is the language we spoke in the viking age, in the middleages it split into old-norwegian, old-danish, old-swedish and old-icelandic which over time turned into the languages we have today.)
modern icelandic is almost similar to old-norse btw.the only country,cause of being an island,in scandinavia which speaks the language of the old times :-)
Thanks for the reply. Tell me, in Norway have any society to preserve traditional culture, political organizations opposing migration and multiculturalism? If you possess this kind of information - write to me in personal box. Perhaps we could collaborate

Of course - that’s how the system we live in works

@Heimdall01, no this is not in old Nors, this is just good old Norwegian
JA!
Can anyone tell me where can I find the lyrics of this song along with its translation to English??
@20nine ..and I am not sure that the original Hildinakvadet was in norne. At a guess I would say old-norse.

it has a woody sound to it.. could also be bone but im sure its not a metal flute

AFAIK the Germanic peoples were one of the few ones to win on the Roman army. Too bad they were later conquered by Roman Catholicism.
+Alexis Golzman At least they were conquered by other germanics that had embraced those ideals :P

What language is this? This doesn't sound like the original version in Norn...
what kind of a dialect? can say - Nynorsk? or ..
...interested, can I teach it somewhere on the net?
Tell me please who is the author of that picture on the video?
Christian Krogh
If you want to learn Norse, I'd start by Icelandic, it's still the closest to Old West Norse.
What about faroese?
@@thatcyanatom6122 Close second, it's pronounciation has shifted a bit more.
Old Norwegian
@@pakrolska Old Norwegian developed out of Old East Norse, along with Swedish. So still more modern
@@ServantOfOdin untrue, Dano-swedeish developed out of Old Norwegian and swedish is a mix of danish and norwegian
But what kind of Norwegian? Old Norse or Bokmål?
Greeting from Ukraine, btw!
Old Norse.
