''Glymdrápa'' ("''Drápa'' of din") is a skaldic poem composed by Þorbjörn Hornklofi, the court poet of King Harald I of Norway (''Haraldr hárfagri''). Composed toward the end of the 9th century, the poem recounts several battles waged by King Harald, mostly as he was uniting Norway.〔Anthony Faulkes gives the following meanings for ''glymr'' : "resounding noise", "roaring", "din". The word is frequently used in ''kennings'' for battle (see (Jörmungrund )).〕 Composed in ''dróttkvætt'', only seven stanzas and two half-stanzas are preserved, chiefly in the ''Heimskringla'' (''Haralds saga hárfagra''). ''Glymdrápa'' is the oldest praise poem to a king (''konungsdrápa'') which has come down to us.〔Boyer 1990:195.〕 The poem has few clear geographical or historical points of reference, and the two sagas which quote it, ''Heimskringla'' and ''Fagrskinna'' interpret it differently. In ''Heimskringla'', the poem is said to recount Harald's fight against the people of Orkdal at Oppdal forest (''Uppdalsskógr''), first against Huntiof, King of Nordmøre (''Húnþjófr''), his son Solve Klove (''Sölvi'') and his father-in-law King Nokkve (''Nökkvi''), king of Romsdal; second against Sölvi and his allies Arnviðr, king of Sunnmøre, and Auðbjörn, who ruled over the Fjords in the districts of Nordfjord and Sunnfjord. 〔( ''Saga om Solskjel'' (Solskjel.no) )〕〔(''ca 863 - Slaget ved Solskjel'' (Middelalder på Sunnmøre) )〕 Lastly Harald's battles in Gotland and finally his expedition westwards to fight Vikings, which led him to the Isle of Man. According to ''Fagrskinna's'' account, part of the poem relates events of the Battle of Hafrsfjord, the decisive battle in King Harald's unification of Norway. ==See also== *First battle of Solskjel *Second battle of Solskjel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glymdrápa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
