MagnusIII of Norway/ Legbiter

[MagnusIII]

I'd love AA to do write something about MagnusIII and his legendary sword Legbiter. I was down at Magnus' grave today and think the story of Magnus' life and death would inspire a great song/video:

"When his men said that he proceeded incautiously in his campaigns, Magnus is reported to have responded "Kings are made for honour, not for long life"; he was the last Norwegian king to fall in battle abroad."

Very AA! Legbiter would make a great track name too. Here's what wiki has on Magnus III.

Someone needs to make a big budget movie about his grandfather Harald Hardrada. Now there's a guy who led a truly EPIC life!!

Agreed, he is truly a "larger than life"-character and the amount of battles he participated in (and won) during his lifetime is just amazing.

And they're making a movie about Harald Hardrada... Supposedly Warner Brothers is doing it. It's tentatively titled "King Harald" and DiCaprio is playing the lead. Sorry, but the dude is too small to play Hardrada.

Yeah, Hardrada shouldn't be played by DiCaprio, they should get in Skarksgard.

Must check that out, love the sagas.
