The Scandinavian ballads have the same bad habit as the English ballads in
being named after lead characters which change regionally; hence the same
song can have buckets of different titles. I'm familiar with some of the
Scandinavian forms (like "Medelwold and Sidselille" for "Leesome Brand"),
but this title doesn't ring a bell. Do you have any of the words or story,
or did you just find a tune somewhere?
