Anachronistic name dropping and bold braggadocio? (Alexander and Caesar and host of gemanic/baltic war lords A reaaally long lived warrior?)

Or, the speaker is the the “Type” of the wandering mercenary warrior and bard (Knight Errant) who recounts lists of legendary leaders to demonstrate to a potential war lord that he, Widsith the bard, can bring to people’s memory and recollection the abilities and prowess of that King / Leader.

“Whaet!” Correction to my previous post.

The bard only recites the names of Alexander and Caesar, but only claims to have visited/sung in various Baltic N. European courts.
