Christmas Songs of My Ancestors: Vikings
Continued from Christmas Songs of My Ancestors: Norman French
In 793, the Vikings made their first successful attack on England, and for the next two centuries, they kept on coming. The term “Viking” actually refers to the activity of raiding rather than a specific people group. At the time, they were referred to as Northmen. Today, they would be recognized as Scandinavian.
Once the raiders successfully conquered the lands, they took to farming it. The Danes were so numerous and so successful, that they claimed a large portion of 9th century England as Danelaw.

Of the Scandinavian countries, my ancestral lines trace back mostly to Denmark and Norway. So I set about looking for a Christmas song in one or both of their ancient languages. Something I learned, was that Danish has it’s roots in Old Norse.
This video is different from the others I’ve been sharing, in that it isn’t embedded at the request of the artist. The image below is a screenshot linked to the video on YouTube. Click on either the caption or the image to hear a 16th century Latin carol sung in Old Norse.
