LifeSketch
Norwegische Skaldin (höfische Dichterin), lebte um 900

"Die Heimskringla erzählt, dass Hildr sich für ihn [ihren Sohn "Hrólfr (genannt Göngu-Hrólfr)"] einsetzte, als er in einen Konflikt mit Harald Schönhaar geriet und verbannt wurde. Dazu trug sie vor dem König die folgende Lausavísa vor:[5][6]
"Hafnið Nefju nafna;
nú rekið gand ór landi
horskan holða barma;
hví bellið því, stillir?
Illts við ulf at ylfask
Yggs valbríkar slíkan;
muna við hilmis hjarðir
hœgr, ef renn til skógar."

„Ihr kehrt Euch von Nefjas Namensvetter (= Hrólfr) ab; nun treibt Ihr den Wolf aus dem Land; warum riskiert Ihr das, Herrscher? Es ist schlecht, sich wölfisch gegenüber einem solchen Wolf zu verhalten, Yggr (= Odin) der Planke der Gefallenen (= Schild; die gesamte Kenning bedeutet Krieger); er wird nicht sanft zu den Herden des Fürsten sein, wenn er zum Wald läuft (= geächtet wird)."
\endash Hildr Hrólfsdóttir[7][8]"

**TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH:
Norwegian skaldin (court poet), lived around 900

"The Heimskringla tells that Hildr stood up for him [her son "Hrólfr (called Göngu-Hrólfr)"] when he got into a conflict with Harald Fairhair and was banished. To this end, she recited the following Lausavísa before the king:[ 5][6]
"Hafnið Nefju nafna;
nú rekið gand ór landi
horskan holða barma;
hví bellið því, stillir?
Illts við ulf at ylfask
Yggs valbríkar slíkan;
muna við hilmis hjarðir
hœgr, ef run til skógar."

["Having the nose of names; now driven out of the country Horskan holds a bosom; why the bell then, setting? Illts vi ulf at ylfask Yggs chooses one; remember we hilmis herds right, if you run into the forest."]

"You turn away from Nefja's namesake (= Hrólfr); now you drive the wolf out of the land; why risk it, ruler? It is bad to behave wolfishly towards such a wolf, Yggr (= Odin) the plank of the fallen (= shield; the entire kenning means warrior); he will not be gentle with the prince's flocks if he runs to the forest (= is ostracized)."
\endash Hildr Hrólfsdóttir[7][8]"
