The English Varangians - Old English Song - HD Remake | The Skaldic Bard

As requested by several commenters, here’s a remake of my song The English Varangians, written and performed by me in Old English. The song tells the story of the Anglo-Saxon warriors who were forced to leave England after the Norman Conquest in 1066 and seek a new home abroad. The events are based on the account given in the Icelandic Játvarðar Saga. The Englishmen sailed down through the Straits of Gibraltar and onward to the Mediterranean, retaking lands for Christendom as they went. They came to Constantinople which was under siege by foreign foes, and vowed to aid Emperor Alexios. This was the start of the Anglo-Saxon branch of the Varangian Guard. As time went on, some of the Anglo-Saxon warriors decided to find a place to start a new colony, which they deemed Nova Anglia, or New England, somewhere in modern day Crimea. Emperor Alexios said that if they could reconquer those lands, they could keep them - and that they did. They named their cities London and York, among others, and maintained their English traditions and language for centuries. This is my attempt at sharing their story. I’m releasing some remakes of my songs as most of my creative energy is currently being put towards a big collaboration that I think you guys should like. So, I will be making more new original songs again soonish, but there is some other exciting content to look forward to ;-) I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics: Ūre hām ġestolen and frīend offylne, tō sǣ is nīed ūs tō fundienne. Frēorige flodas ofer ūs flōwaþ, swā wē tō nīwum sċorum rōwaþ. Hāmnēod ǣfre sċeal ūs fȳrsmeortan.
