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.
“Thaet was God Cyning!” (MAGA)
(But now??....”Lets go Brandon!”)
“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.
