Crusader Song (Old Norse) - Jórsalanám

Подробнее о видео

Here's a song I wrote and sang in Old Norse detailing the events of the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099 from the perspective of a Scandinavian crusader (people from all over Europe responded to the call of Pope Urban II, with varying degrees of success). The Crusaders won the siege and instituted the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The name, Jórsalanám, literally means "The Taking of Jerusalem".

The epic picture is called "Kingdom of Heaven" by Sergey Sezonov, which he very kindly allowed me to use for this video.

My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence.
