Balder og dragen
Balder’s father disowns him and kicks him out of his childhood home. Balder must pack his lute and some few belongings and go to the big city. Within the walls, the king, and the bishop reign. Balder cannot find work and is hungry and desperate, but then a curtain is drawn aside, and he sees the beautiful princess. Balder sits down and plays romantic tunes; the princess hears him, and they fall head over heels in love.
The next day, there is a knight tournament. The prize is the princess and half the kingdom, but first a fearsome dragon must be defeated. The tournament’s winner, Sct. Niels, chooses Balder as his squire, and soon Balder is on his way to slay the dragon…
