Fredsakademiet: Freds- og sikkerhedspolitisk Leksikon F 241 : fredssang / peace song

fredssang / peace song

☮ ♪ Salme, indeholdende en bøn om fred.
Også sang som under vikingetiden skulle afslutte et slag og stifte fred.
Begrebet kendes fra 1761 med mulige rødder tilbage til skotternes frihedskamp mod de norske vikinger i 1100 tallet :
"Such were the words of Fingal, when the bard raised the song of peace ; we stopped our uplifted swords, and spared the feeble foe. We laid Erragon in that tomb ; and I raised the voice of grief:...
Raise, Ullin, raise the song of peace, and sooth my soul after battle, that my ear may forget the noise of arms. And let a hundred harps be near to gladden the king of Lochlin...."
