“Years after conversion to Christianity, Saxon noblemen still danced with weapons in honor of the dead. In the mid-eleventh century, Bishop Gunther von Bamberg wore a mask of Theoderic the hero as he performed a spear-and-sword dance. Two hundred years later, knights of the Hohenstaufen emperors watched war dances that came down from heathen, cultic performances more than a thousand years earlier.” — Michael Speidel, Ancient Germanic Warriors: Warrior Styles from Trajan's Column to Icelandic Sagas

Forgeaf þā Beowulfe brand Healfdenes segen gyldenne sigores tō lēane, hroden hildecumbor, helm ond byrnan. Mære māðþumsweord manige gesāwon beforan beorn beran. Beowulf geþāh ful on flette, nō hē þære feohgyfte for scēotendum scamigan ðorfte. Ne gefraægn ic frēondlicor fēower mādmas golde gegyrede gummanna fela in ealobence ōðrum gesellan. "Then Healfdene's son gave to Beowulf a golden standard as a reward for victory, an ornamented war-banner, a helm and mailcoat; many saw a famed ancient sword brought before the warrior. Beowulf received a cup on the hall-floor - he had no cause to be ashamed of that gift of wealth before the warriors. I have never heard of four treasures decorated with gold being given more nobly by many men to another on the ale-bench." -Beowulf, 11.1020-9 Follow me on X Follow me on Instagram Subscribe to me on Substack
