Taillefer (Latin: Incisor ferri, meaning "hewer of iron") was the surname of a Norman jongleur (minstrel), whose exact name and place of birth are unknown (sometimes his first name is given as "Ivo"). He travelled to England during the Norman conquest of England of 1066, in the train of William the Conqueror. At the Battle of Hastings, Taillefer sang the Chanson de Roland at the English troops while juggling with his sword. An English soldier ran out to challenge him and was killed by Taillefer, who then charged the English lines alone while singing and was engulfed, killing at least four more English in the process. Strangely, Taillefer is not depicted, by name at least, on the Bayeux Tapestry.

  • Taillefer (latein: Incisor ferri, zu Deutsch Eisenhauer; † 14. Oktober 1066) war der Nachname eines normannischen Ménestrels (Barden), dessen exakter Name und Geburtsort unbekannt ist. Gelegentlich wird der Vorname mit Ivo angegeben. Während der normannischen Invasion Englands im Jahr 1066 zog Taillefer im Gefolge des normannischen Herzogs Wilhelm des Bastards nach England. Kurz vor dem Beginn der Schlacht bei Hastings rezitierte er das Rolandslied, während er vor den normannischen Truppen mit seinem Schwert oder Speer jonglierte. Daraufhin trat ein angelsächsischer Soldat aus dem Schildwall und forderte ihn zum Kampf heraus. Taillefer tötete den Soldaten, woraufhin er den Angriffsmoment initiierte, in dem die Normannen die Angelsachsen angriffen. Taillefer fiel während der Schlacht. Seltsamerweise wurde Taillefer nicht auf dem Teppich von Bayeux abgebildet oder erwähnt. Vermutlich weil er niederen Standes war. Wace, ein normannischer Dichter, erwähnt Taillefer in seiner Verschronik Roman de Rou in den Zeilen 8013–8019. Taillefer wird auch von Geoffrey Gaimar, Heinrich von Huntingdon, Wilhelm von Malmesbury und im Carmen de Hastingae Proelio erwähnt, wobei es abweichende Angaben gibt, die aber auch Gemeinsamkeiten aufweisen. Zum Beispiel ist mal nur vom Schwertjonglieren die Rede, oder nur das Vortragen des Rolandsliedes. Der deutsche Dichter Ludwig Uhland gestaltete 1816 die Geschichte von Taillefer zu einer Ballade, welche der deutsche Komponist Richard Strauss im Jahr 1903 als Kantate vertonte. (de)
  • Taillefer (Latin: Incisor ferri, meaning "hewer of iron") was the surname of a Norman jongleur (minstrel), whose exact name and place of birth are unknown (sometimes his first name is given as "Ivo"). He travelled to England during the Norman conquest of England of 1066, in the train of William the Conqueror. At the Battle of Hastings, Taillefer sang the Chanson de Roland at the English troops while juggling with his sword. An English soldier ran out to challenge him and was killed by Taillefer, who then charged the English lines alone while singing and was engulfed, killing at least four more English in the process. Strangely, Taillefer is not depicted, by name at least, on the Bayeux Tapestry. Wace mentions Taillefer in the Roman de Rou (c. 1170): The story of Taillefer is told by Geoffrey Gaimar, Henry of Huntingdon, William of Malmesbury and in the Carmen de Hastingae Proelio. The accounts differ, some mentioning only the juggling, some only the song, but have elements in common. The story was the subject of an 1816 ballad by the German poet Ludwig Uhland, set to music for soprano, tenor, baritone, eight-part chorus and orchestra by Richard Strauss in 1903, Op. 52, named after the protagonist Taillefer. The work received a rare performance on 13 September 2014 at the Last Night of the Proms. A version drawn from all the sources can be found in Winston Churchill's A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. Near the end of the third volume of his works, Robert Ripley mentions Taillefer under the heading "General Eisenhower", pointing out the coincidences between the Allied general and the Norman knight. Taillefer embarked from the shore of Normandy where the Allies landed on D-Day in World War II. The Battle of Hastings was on 14 October 1066, and Taillefer died on that day; Eisenhower was born on 14 October 1890; and "Eisenhower" can be translated from German as "hewer of iron". (en)
