about

Apardion. Like many other places the Aberdeen area regularly suffered raids by Vikings. In 1153 the Norse king Eysteinn is known to have attacked the town (known to them as Apardion) and killed many inhabitants, before breaking their swords. 1210 saw the future King Canute defeated at Cruden Bay by Malcolm ll.

lyrics

APARDION
I am the best of the three young kings
The others know, they know it well
I made my raids on the foreign places
And where I went their men all fell

I sailed the seas and the waves bowed down
The seas all know, they know my power
I found the place between two fine rivers
I burnt their huts, I burnt their tower

I strode the paths of this Apardion
I made it know, made it know my strength
I shook my fist at the cowering people
I strode its shores, I walked its length

I killed the menfolk and most of the women
But some now know, they know me well
I broke their swords, I stole their riches
I only left them their tales to tell
