HALVDAN SVARTE (ca 810 - 860 A.D)

Halvdan Svarte (Halfdanr Svarti, Halfdan the Black) was king of Vestfold county and is first and foremost known as the father of Harald Haarfagre (Harald Fairhar). It needs to be said that the reliability of this kinship is somewhat uncertain. Nonetheless Harald Haarfagre is named "The son of Halvdan" in a sentence in "Haraldskvæði". Despite that, Halvdan was a common name back then, and there are no reliable sources stating that they were actually father and son, though there is a possibility that they actually were. (You can read more about Halvdan and his family on Wikipedia.)

However, regarding the demise of Halvdan, all sources are in agreement; That he on his way home from Hadeland drowned in the lake Randsfjorden when his horse and sleigh broke through the ice. According to legend, the districts of his kingdom all wanted to claim his grave, but as they never came to an agreement, they decided to divide his body into four pieces. This way each district could bury a part of their beloved king. Supposedly his head lies in Halvdanshaugen (the mound of Halvdan) at Stein in Ringerike. Some say that Svarte was worshipped as a god of growth among the farmers in these areas.

He got his nickname “Svarte” because of his black hair.

Haraldskvæði (Hrafnsmál) (4)

Hreyfðisk enn hǫsfjaðri
ok of hyrnu þerði,
arnar eiðbróðir,
ok at andsvǫrum hugði:
Haraldi vér fylgðum
syni Halfdanar,
ungum ynglingi,
síðan ór eggi kómum.

The eagle's sworn brother
stirred its grey feathers,
its pointed beak wiping,
pondered its answer:
'Haraldr we have followed,
Halfdan's son,
scion of the Ynglingar,
since we hatched from our eggs.

    Quality all over!

    The pictures don't do it justice. This jacket is of supreme quality. Heavy as fuck jeans, the end of the sleeves is stunning, the buttons have RATS... The print is amazing (with a little silver glitter), the embroidery on the front is flawless.
    Mine came with a few surprises in the pockets...

    Incredible build, fits like a charm

    The buttons have rats on them, there are 8 pockets (2 large, 2 with zippers, 2 with buttons, 2 fist pockets), and the denim, thread, and both designs are very high quality. I'm 5'10" slim and the 2XL fits surprisingly well over my other coats. The sleeves end very wide but I am very pleased with all the buttons to customize the wear. Overall the best clothing purchase I have yet made. Plus, there are rats on this bad boy, what more could you ask for? If you are on the fence, it would be very unlikely to regret making this purchase.

    Absolute Quality

    Saw this Ulver jacket on Facebook, I wanted to order but I was curious of the fit. I messaged Norwegian Rat and they gave me more detailed measurements, and the differences between the sizes - so I was much more confident ordering size 'S'.
    The fit is perfect. I can imagine it being pretty snug if you wear a hoodie underneath - go one size higher, but as a jacket with a t-shirt - it's perfect.
    The jacket itself is very heavy duty. The print, craft, construction all screams quality. Lots of pockets. Feels like it'll survive all weathers.
    Absolute quality - I won't think twice if more Ulver products show up.
