Hallfreðr Óttarsson or Hallfreðr vandræðaskáld (''Troublesome Poet'') (ca. 965 – ca. 1007) was an Icelandic skald. He is the protagonist of ''Hallfreðar saga'' according to which he was the court poet first of Hákon Sigurðarson, then of Óláfr Tryggvason and finally of Eiríkr Hákonarson. A significant amount of poetry by Hallfreðr has been preserved, primarily in ''Hallfreðar saga'' and the kings' sagas but a few fragments are also quoted in ''Skáldskaparmál''. In his ''lausavísur'' Hallfreðr was an unusually personal skald, offering insight into his emotional life and, especially, his troubled and reluctant conversion from paganism to Christianity under the tutelage of king Óláfr. The following is an example. The ''Bergsbók'' manuscript attributes an ''Óláfsdrápa Tryggvasonar'' to Hallfreðr but this attribution is rejected by modern scholars. ==References== *(Hallfreðr vandræðaskáld ) All extant poetry *(Hallfreðar saga vandræðaskálds ) Version from Möðruvallabók *(Myth and Religion in the Poetry of a Reluctant Convert ) Article by Diana Whaley *(Erfidrápa Óláfs Tryggvasonar ) Text of ''Erfidrápa'' with short notes on the poet in Norwegian 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「Hallfreðr vandræðaskáld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
