📃 Оригинальное описание:
By popular demand, I decided to remake/remaster my song, Harold Godwinson, in better quality. The intonation of the singing is also different in parts to make it more authentically pronounced (which might feel a little jarring to begin with if you are familiar with the original version!), and I improved some of the lyrics in places.
Growing up in England and being a real enthusiast for my native tongue, I’ve always had a downer on the Norman Conquest for spelling the end of Old English in England (not to mention the brutal treatment the Northern English suffered at the hands of William the Conqueror not long after).
Harold Godwinson, the final Anglo-Saxon king, has thus always been something of a hero of mine. The odds he was up against are incredible; he had to march across the length of England – from London to Stamford Bridge near York – to fight the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada and his own brother, Tostig Godwinson. He won the battle, after which he almost immediately had to march all the way back down to Hastings in the south, in full gear, having just fought – and he did that in just four (!) days.
Heartbreakingly, the English could have won the Battle of Hastings, but the Normans managed to lure them from their strong position and encircle them. Who knows what the world would look like now if Harold Godwinson had won - for better or worse! I have made this song to honour his attempts at defending England from every manner of foe.
I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think in a comment (I very much enjoy reading them), and feel free to leave any suggestions for historical figures/events/topics you’d like me to cover!
My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence

On ærne morgen Winterfylleþes,
