Hedeby by Bjorth & Kveld
Haithabu, also known as Hedeby, was a significant settlement of Danish Vikings and Swedish Varangians. It is considered an early medieval city in Northern Europe and served as a crucial trading hub and
major center for long-distance trade between Scandinavia, Western Europe, the North Sea region, and the Baltic. It was founded around 770 and was finally destroyed by 1066 at the latest.
The song's lyrics draw inspiration from Thorkell Skallason and also the Runestone of Eric, bringing the tales of Viking warriors and their storied past to life.
