"The Tale of Brynild, and King Valdemar and His Sister: Two Ballads" by George Borrow is a collection of dramatic ballads that spin tales of perilous romance and intense family conflict in olden times. The first story follows Brynild, whose pride and complicated love life with Sivard Snareswayne and Sir Nielus causes a string of terrible events, ending in death and despair. Then the story shifts to King Valdemar, his sister Kirsten, and his deceitful queen, Sophia, where misguided choices and secret plots lead to heart-wrenching betrayal and devastation for the royal family. The style used is highly descriptive and emphasizes the strength of loves and the dangers of envy, all set in the world of Nordic legends.
