Marsk Stig: a ballad
Transcribed from the 1913 Thomas J. Wise pamphlet by David Price
"Marsk Stig: a ballad" by George Borrow and Thomas James Wise is a narrative ballad published in the early 20th century. This book combines elements of folk storytelling with themes of honor, betrayal, and vengeance, set against a backdrop reminiscent of medieval Scandinavian history. It explores the life of a knight named Marsk Stig, who faces tragic events involving loyalty and infidelity during his time away at war. The storyline revolves around Marsk Stig, a noble knight who leaves his home to serve in battle, while his wife, Ingeborg, is seduced by King Erik. Upon returning and learning of his wife's violation, Stig vows revenge against the treacherous king. Driven by a deep sense of betrayal and the quest for retribution, Stig gathers support and successfully confronts Erik, leading to the king's demise. The ballad portrays both the emotional turmoil of Ingeborg and the fierce determination of Stig as they navigate themes of honor and dishonor in a feudal society, ultimately showcasing the devastating impact of betrayal and the quest for justice.
