Brit,, 9th ed.) The origin of the song is ascribed by ten Brink to " one of the many battles with the Danes which shook England during the pernicious reign of the second ^thelred. A band of Normans (i.e. Northmen) under Justin and Guthmund, made, in the year 991, an incursion into the eastern coast of Eng- land, and, after plundering Ipswich, penetrated into Essex as far as Maldon on the Panta river. Near this town, the river divides into two branches; the south- erly arm washes the northern de...clivity of the hill upon which Maldon lies.
The Danish ships seem to have taken their position in this branch, while the • warriors occupied the space between the two arms of the river. Then the East-Saxon ealdorman, Byrhtnoth, ad vanced f rom the north with a hastily col- lected band, and halted on the north arm of the Panta, on whose shores ensued the conflict celebrated in the song oi Byrhtnoth' s Death." (Kennedy's trans., pp, 92-93,) This poem, though composed in a period of confusion and of metrical decline, is full of charm and of power, retaining no little of the ancient epic vigor, and is extremely valuable to the student of our early customs and insti- tutions, because it brings vividly before us a typical Teutonic lord with his comitatus : he alights from his horse and fights valiantly among liegemen that he knows to be tried and trusty, and these, in turn, with the exception of a few branded by name as nithings and as infamous forever, would rather lie by their dear lord dead on the battle-field, than go home alive without their beloved leader.] [The opening part being lost, this is very abrupt and obscure.] ***** was broken ; He bade each liegeman, then, leave his good charger, Speed away far, forward advancing, Trust his arms and armor ^ and his own mighty courage.
