Description

Set in AD 991 at the mouth of the river Panta, the Earl Byrhtnoth deals battle to Viking raiders. Unfortunately the epic poem is a fragment; the opening lines and the end have been lost. It remains nonetheless a magnificent record of heroism and courage.

As translated by Professor R. K. Gordon.

For those interested, the original poem may be found at http://faculty.virginia.edu/OldEnglish/anthology/maldon.html

The version without subtitles is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbpc3nsJ3ec
