Holger the Dane

4 min.DK/Short fictionFairy tale, Historical drama, Adaptions

FRAGMENT. In the cellars of Kronborg, a fully armed Holger the Dane sits quietly sleeping when he is suddenly called into action: Princess Gloriant has fallen into the clutches of the heathen giant Burmand, so Holger must act swiftly. Fortunately, he arrives in time to prevent the abductor from harming his intended victim.

Only a fragment of the film has been preserved. In its entirety, it told the tales related in the two legends about ‘Holger Danske and Didrik the Strong’ and ‘Holger Danske and Burmand’.
