Libro: Las leyes del Gulathing



Las Leyes del Gulathing

Mª Pilar Fernández Álvarez
Teodoro Manrique Antón

ISBN: 84-7800-550-1
Universidad de Salamanca
Año: 2005
P.V.P.: €17,00 (IVA Inc.) 
Colección: EF (Estudios Filológicos), 306 


Las Leyes de Gulathing son un testimonio vivo de la cultura y la historia medieval de la Noruega de los siglos X-XIII. En ella se reflejan acontecimientos de la era vikinga, la conversión del país al Cristianismo y la nueva época dominada por las fuertes monarquías al estilo europeo. Posiblemente promulgadas en la primera mitad el siglo X bajo el reinado de Hákon el Bueno y puestas por escrito por S. Óláf en el siglo XI, constituyen una herramienta de trabajo utilísima para los estudiosos de Derecho, Historia, Filología, etc.

La riqueza de detalles con la que se describen las diferentes disposiciones legales sobre el trato a la mujer, y a los niños y a los esclavos, los homicidios y sus penas, les herencias, la construcción de barcos para la defensa del país, etc. hacen que este libro sea una obra clave para entender el Medievo.

Sabaton - Swedish Pagans



Sabaton - Swedish Pagans


The wise woman said;

"Once you're hardened in battle there's no coming back".
(Fight or fall)
And before the attack
Feel your blood starts to boil in your veins as you charge.
(Hundreds fallen)
As the fire inside is ignited by bloodshed, In berserkers from north.
Could it be as was said,
When the serpent be woken.
Fenrir howls

Swedish pagans,
Marching ashore.
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor.
Out from Asgard, our viking ship sails.
Never to turn back again

Where brothers have past is where we'll be proven, the ground they begun.
(Standing tall)
And we know if we fall, our comrades awaits in Valhall.
(Odin's calling)
As the fire inside, is ignited by bloodshed, in the circuits of nord.
Will it be as was said, will the serpents be woken.
Fenrir howls!

Swedish pagans,
Marching ashore.
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor.
Out from Asgard, our viking ship sails.
Never to turn back again.

(First to the battle, firs to the feast, destiny wating, no retreat, retreat! )

Swedish pagans,
Marching a shore.
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor.
Out from Asgard, our viking ship sails.
Never to turn back again.
