GUEST,Julia L Songs About Duels and Dueling (36) RE: Songs About Duels and Dueling 07 Dec 19


The ancient bards had verbal sparring sessions matching wits called "Flyting". these were taken very seriously in a time when one could be prosecuted for "murdering" someone's reputation through satire and libel

Modern poet / singer Hamish Henderson has written a wonderful song called "The Flytin' o' Life and Daith" sung magnificently by Alison MacMorland on her album "Cloudberry Day"
