Title A name given to the resource Performance of the Battle of Maldon by Leofwin Description An account of the resource A Viking Army under Olaf Trygvasson had been raiding the eastern and southern coast of England in the summer of 991AD unmolested until Byrhtnoth, with the men of Essex, cornered it on Northey Island, near Maldon in August. The two armies faced each other across a narrow stretch of water, until, with the receding tide, Byrhtnoth invited the Vikings across to the mainland to do battle. Byrhtnoth was killed, the English were defeated, and the Vikings began their infamous practice of demanding protection money, or 'Danegeld'. Byrhtnoth's bodyguard, however, stood fast among the wreckage of the army, and died to a man defending their fallen leader. A poem was composed very shortly afterwards commemorating the heroic defeat, and the extract recited in the video evokes Byrhtnoth's response to the Vikings' demand for money. It was filmed at the causeway where the Vikings crossed to the mainland in 991 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012-11-22T21:45:22.000Z Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived http://YouTube.com Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource <a href="https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms">Standard YouTube License</a> Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Leofwin2010<br />published via YouTube.com Subject The topic of the resource Poetry Performance Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Leofwin Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Admin Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource YouTube video Language A language of the resource Old English Type The nature or genre of the resource Moving Image Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Am85B550Jc Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant England Modern Battle of Maldon Battles Legacy Maldon Old English Language Performances Poetry Reception Recitations Viking Age vikings Warfare
