Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Kings of Norway The beginning of his great adventure was of a romantic character - youthful love for the beautiful Gyda, a then glori ous and famous young lady of those regions, whom the young Harald aspired to marry. Gyda answered his embassy and prayer in a distant, lofty manner: Her it would not be seem to wed any J arl or poor creature of that kind let him do as Gorm Of Denmark, Eric of Sweden, Egbert of Eng land, and others had done, - subdue into peace and regula tion the confused, contentious bits of jarls around him, and become a king; then, perhaps, she might think of his pro posal till then, not.' Harald was struck with this proud answer, which rendered Gyda tenfold more desirable to him. He vowed to let his hair grow, never to cut or even to comb it till this feat were done, and the peerless Gyda his own. He proceeded accordingly to conquer, in fierce battle, a Jarl or two every year, and at the end of twelve years had his nu kempt (and almost unimaginable) head of hair clipt Off - Jarl rognwald (reginald) Of Mere, the most valued and valuable of all his subject-jarls, being promoted to this sublime bar ber function after which King Harald, with head thoroughly cleaned, and hair grown, or growing again to the luxuriant beauty that had no equal in his day, brought home his Gyda, and made her the brightest queen in all the North. He had after her, in succession, or perhaps even simultaneously in some cases, at least six other wives and by Gyda herself one daughter and four sons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Kings of Norway: Also an Essay on the Portraits of John Knox The Icelanders, in their long winter, had a great habit of writing, and were, and still are, excellent in penmanship, says Dahlmann. It is to this fact that any little history there is of the Norse Kings and their old tragedies, crimes, and heroisms, is almost all due. The Icelanders, it seems, not only made beautiful letters on their paper or parchment, but were laudably observant and desirous of accuracy; and have left us such a collection of narrative (Sagas, literally 'Says') as, for quantity and quality, is unexampled among rude nations.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stories of the Kings of Norway Called the Round of the World, Vol. 4: Heimskringla At last, ten years after the publication of the third volume of the Heimskringla, and nine after the death of the originator of the Saga Library, the indexes to Snorri's work see the day. No one can regret the extent of this delay more keenly than I do myself, especially as I do not pretend to be personally free from all blame in the matter. In the main, however, it has been due to causes over which it was not in my power to exercise any control. The Saga Library was an idea conceived by William Morris, suggested to and taken up by the late Mr. Quaritch. The work on it was divided between Morris and myself in the following manner: Having read together the sagas contained in the first three volumes, Morris wrote out the translation and I collated his MS. with the original. For the last two volumes of the Heimskringla the process was reversed, I doing the translation, he the collation; the style, too, he emended throughout in accordance with his own ideal. Morris wrote pp. v-xii15 of the preface to vol. i; the rest of it was drawn up by me, as was also the preface to the second volume and submitted to Morris' revision. Indexes, notes, genealogical tables I took in hand, also the drawing of the maps which Morris had printed in his own way. As to the style of Morris little need be said except this that it is a strange misunderstanding to describe all terms in his translations which are not familiar to the reading public as 'pseudo-Middle-English.'
