One of the ways in which the general interest on the Viking world has
been reflected in academia is the study of the influence that the language of
these Northern peoples had in Old English during the Scandinavian invasion
(8th
-11th century). This paper aims to shed some light on this topic by
studying the Scandinavian elements appearing in the Old English poem The
Battle of Brunanburh (937). In order to do so, the events involved in the
contact between Old English and Old Norse, as well as in the composition of
the poem will be contextualised. After this, a review on the nature of The
Battle of Brunanburh (i.e. heroic poetry) will be presented together with the
proposal of a translation of the poem into contemporary English, with the
objective of improving the understanding of the work and thus facilitating its
subsequent analysis. Finally, the phenomenon of Scandinavian borrowing in
Old English will be introduced, followed by a study of the etymologies of the
vocabulary employed in The Battle of Brunanburh. The results of the analysis
of the poem’s lexis will help to measure the extent of Scandinavian influence
in Old English, not only in terms of the amount of borrowings found in the
poem but also in accordance to their nature. Apart from this, factors such as
the date and the origin of the poem will also have to be taken into
consideration for the sake of reaching a sensible conclusion. [-]
