Havelok The Dane written by Charles Whistler

C >> Charles Whistler >> Havelok The Dane




"Bare is back without brother behind it." And that is a true word,
though it was a heathen who spoke it.

THE END.

1 I have to thank the Mayor of Grimsby for most kindly
furnishing me with an impression of this ancient seal.

2 Now Nishni-Novgorod, from time immemorial the great
meetingplace of north and south, east and west.

3 The garth was the fenced and stockaded enclosure
round a northern homestead.

4 The seax was the heavy, curved dagger carried by men
of all ranks.

5 The northern sea god and goddess.

6 Men drowned at sea were thought to go to the halls of
Pan and Aegir. Ran is represented as fishing for heroes in time of storm.

7 The Norns were the Fates of the northern mythology.

8 The "Witanagemot," the representative assembly for
the kingdom, whence our Parliament sprang.

9 The greatest term of reproach for a coward.

10 The gold ring kept in the Temple of the Asir, on
which all oaths must be sworn.

11 The sanctuary of the Asir. Thorsway and Withern in
Lincolnshire both preserve the name in the last and first syllable
respectively, both meaning "Thor's sanctuary."

12 The northern equivalent of the Saxon "Folkmote," or
general assembly of the people.
