Guthred, Slave & Prince

Neâer was there a more worthy king
Born the son of Erik âHardacnutâ
He ruled a Viking army with hundreds of Danes & Angles under his wing
The first known king of the Vikings, Halfdan, was expelled in 877
Eâer he roams his Danish lands
with his mere mortals amidst heaven
Whilst Guthred meaning (Old Norse)
Was elected Northumbria, Viking king
He rose to glory from slavery
Whence a poor, downtrodden thing
His burial lies in York Minster dated from supposed 895
Bravery & honour beseeched
a more wretched Viking warrior alive
Guthred was a Prince from the Frudant family
His great grandfather, Ragnar Lothbrok
Eâer a man of brutality
Ragnarâs son claimed his fierce title, âSnake in the eyeâ
One may vision bloody-battle raids, thou âAnglo-Saxonâ days gone by
