- Hǫfuðlausn (modern Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈhœːvʏðˌlœistn̥]) or ‘Head-ransom’ is a skaldic poem attributed to Egill Skalla-Grímsson in praise of king Eirik Bloodaxe. It is cited in Egils Saga (chapter 61), which claims that he created it in the span of one night. The events in the saga that lead up to the composition and recitation of the poem can be summarized in the following way. Egil falls into king Eirik's hands after being shipwrecked in Northumbria. Faced with the decision to either dishonorably flee and risk being exposed as a coward or to directly face his adversary and ask for reconciliation, Egil chooses the latter. The two men are enemies during the saga, which makes Egil’s decision especially bold. Earlier in the saga Egil goes as far as to construct a Nithing pole, a sign of disrespect in medieval Scandinavian society. For this and other reasons King Eirik tells Egil not to expect any outcome other than death for his arrival in his court. This would be the end for Egil, however, one of his allies, who has allegiance to Eirik, intercedes on Egil’s behalf. Arinbjǫrn hersir tells the king that it would be dishonorable to kill his enemy under such circumstances. Furthermore he states that Egil, also a renowned poet, “can make recompense with words of praise that will live for ever.” This argument along with it being considered scornful to kill during the night, convinces Eirik to delay his judgement until the next day. During the night Egil composes and memorizes the entire poetic drápa known as the Head Ransom. He recites it in the presence of the king Eiríkr and receives his freedom, but not any sort of reconciliation. The two remain enemies and Egil continues on his original journey to visit king Æthelstan of England. If the poem is authentic it constitutes the second use of end-rhyme in the northern artistic tradition. The first time was a stanza by Egil's father, which is widely believed to have been written by Egil himself. (en)
- Höfuðlausn (nórdico antiguo: Hǫfuðlausn; español: el rescate de la cabeza) es un poema escáldico atribuido a Egill Skallagrímsson para alabar al rey Erico I de Noruega (Eirikr Hacha Sangrienta). Aparece en la saga de Egil (cap. 34-55), y afirma que lo creó a lo largo de una noche. Eirik lo había capturado tras haber naufragado en Northumbria, Inglaterra y fue sentenciado a muerte por la ya profunda y latente enemistad entre ellos, que incluyó prácticas prohibidas de hechicería contra el rey para avergonzarle. Pero Egill compuso el drápa durante la noche previa a su ejecución y, cuando lo recitó por la mañana, Eiríkr le concedió la libertad y el perdón sin venganza. Este poema se considera una de las obras maestras de la literatura medieval escandinava; de hecho, si el poema es auténtico constituye uno de los tempranos usos de la rima en la tradición artística del norte. Existe otro poema con el mismo título, obra de Óttarr svarti. (es)
- Huvudlösen (Höfuðlausn) kallas en drapa med vars hjälp en dödsdömd vikingatida skald lyckats köpa sig sitt liv genom att besjunga den furste som dömt honom till döden. En sådan drapa skulle vara på minst tjugo strofer (tvítug drápa) och diktades i all hast kort före den planerade avrättningen. Sex olika Huvudlösen är omtalade i den fornvästnordiska litteraturen, men endast tre av dem har helt eller delvis bevarats. Den mest kända av dessa är Egil Skallagrimssons hyllning till sin dödsfiende kung Erik blodyx. (sv)
