Hardvendels Kamp med Koll, Louis Moe, Published in 1898

Hardvendels kamp med koll. The scene is described in gesta danorum in the following way: "after mutually pledging their faiths to these terms, they began the battle. Nor were their strangeness in meeting one another, nor the sweetness of that spring-green spot, so heeded as to prevent them from the fray. Horwendil, in his too great ardour, became keener to attack his enemy than to defend his own body; and, heedless of his shield, had grasped his sword with both hands; and his boldness did not fail. For by his rain of blows he destroyed koller's shield and deprived him of it, and at last hewed off his foot and drove him lifeless to the ground. " elton's translation. Date: Published in 1898.
