Note 19 — Chapter X · DEPARTURE FROM TORJEDAHL.
Reading edition
It is no inaccuracy to give Birger a Scotch song, for there is a considerable infusion of Scotch blood among the Swedes, and Scotch family names are by no means uncommon among the nobility. In fact, Scotch names are to be met with even in their national ballads: for instance—
It was young Folmer Skot Who rode by dale and hill, And after rides Morton of Fogelsang, Who bids him hear his will.
