""Lodbrokar Quida: Or The Death Song Of Lodbroc"" is a literary work written by James Johnstone in 1813. The book is a translation of the Icelandic poem ""Lodbrokar Quida"", which tells the story of the legendary Viking warrior Lodbroc and his sons. The poem is believed to have been composed in the 9th or 10th century and was passed down through oral tradition before being written down in the 13th century. The book is divided into three parts: the first part provides an introduction to the poem and its historical context, the second part presents the poem in its original Old Norse language, and the third part is Johnstone's English translation of the poem. The poem itself is a lamentation by Lodbroc as he faces his impending death. He recounts his life as a warrior and his many battles, as well as his love for his wife and children. The poem also tells the story of Lodbroc's sons, who seek revenge for their father's death and embark on their own quests for glory and honor. ""Lodbrokar Quida: Or The Death Song Of Lodbroc"" is a fascinating glimpse into Viking culture and mythology. Johnstone's translation captures the beauty and power of the original poem, making it accessible to modern readers. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Norse mythology, Viking history, or epic poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
