Stamford Bru [English translation]

Right you are Harald Sigurdsson, the prophecy

Of Brother Olav Matkhugen's dreams, and now you

Have to go with Earl Toste and sail to England and

Fulfil more strange dreams

In spring of 1066 the journey was started.

The power loving king of Norway ruled eager

His land and with one hundred and ninetyfive

Ships, to the Orkney earldom they sailed west,

And Earl Torfinn's sons led a number of one-

Hundred longships.

Came up from the village of Jordvik, in battle

Fall the Earl Muru-Kåre and Earl Valtov, he fled.

Harald and Toste went forward because Earl

Valtov, he swore to them that he and the knights

Of the king's table will meet them

At Stamford Bridge.

Next day when Harald and Toste walked around

The camp, the sun gleamt at many helmets and

Armours. The King of England had arrived and

Saw with clarity that the northmen army was

Standing puzzeled

At Stamford Bridge

Got them on the advice to led them out of county,

While Styrkår rode to the ships as fast as he could

But to win a little time, they said to the bad, strong

Tjodolv that he has to stop the king's men out there

At Stamford Bridge

And long Tjodolv held out against the

Anglo-Saxon king but from underneath

The bridge with spears they stuck, so they

Overcame. Then the second battle ran

Over, while Öystein and Styrkår and all

Men sprang from the ships, to reach in

Time Stamford Bridge.

Before Haralds army could march forward

They were cut from both sides and an arrow

Hit him. When Öystein and Styrkår arrived,

Fully dressed in armour all over the men were

Slit and ran barely fighting in the water and the

Hills at Stamford Bridge.

When the third battle began, was called Orreira

And slaughter was great and the Norwegians

Had to flee.. So they went to William's men in

The Frankish kingdom over the mighty water and

The Norse allting/everythings? right is fall out

There at Stamford Bridge.
