Bragalund

Bragalund was a mythical forrest, where (propably) Sigmund captured bears (Berserks?).

"Latest of all, | the Ylfings' son
On the western sea, | if know thou wilt,
Captured bears | in Bragalund,
And fed the eagles | with edge of sword.
Now is it shown | why our shirts are bloody,
And little our food | with fire is cooked."

Poetic Edda: Völundarkviða In Forna (Helgaviða Hundingsbana II)

(Calling Sigmund an Yfling is an error.)

Old Norse: Bragalund
Meaning: "Bragi's Wood"
