Guðmundsdóttir 2000, p. 6.

Berig, you included a citation "Guðmundsdóttir 2000, p. 6. " that doesn't match any of the existing articles by Guðmundsdóttir in page numbers or year. Is it another article, or is there a mistake somewhere?--Ermenrich (talk) 15:17, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My bad! I both made a typo and thought I had already used the source. It is fixed now!--Berig (talk) 15:38, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Exaggerated historiography

English participation in Germanic heroic legend didn't suddenly end in 1066 and is still ongoing, with major legends appreciated in England even through the Norman filter as well as domestic tales. Hamlet, Havelok the Dane, Holger Danske, Robin Hood and even William Tell have historically been told to an English audience, given an English version, or came from England and retold elsewhere. All of these stories were enjoyed long before the printing press, so it's not merely global curiosity stemming from the internet either. 76.177.11.75 (talk) 23:32, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
