| Summary | "Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality. Vol. 09 (of 15), Scandinavian" by Charles Morris is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a comprehensive series that explores legends, myths, and significant historical figures from Scandinavian history, focusing on tales of bravery, adventure, and the cultural heritage of the region. The topics covered likely include the legendary exploits of Norse kings and warriors, showcasing their daring deeds and the challenges they faced in their quest for power and glory. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the story of King Rolf and his determined pursuit of Princess Torborg, a fierce and capable woman who is more adept in combat than many men of her time. We learn of the initial tension between Rolf, the king of Gothland, and the haughty Torborg, daughter of King Erik of Upsala, as she initially mocks his efforts to win her heart. However, driven by both anger and determination after being insulted, Rolf embarks on a quest to capture her, which leads to battles, sieges, and eventual victory, setting the stage for his marriage to the warrior princess. The narrative combines elements of romance, adventure, and historical legend, drawing readers into the rich world of Scandinavian lore. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
