August Malmström, “King Heimer and Aslog”
___
Aslaug, Aslög, Kraka, Kráka or Randalin, was a queen of Scandinavian mythology who appears in Snorri’s Edda, the Völsunga saga and the saga of Ragnar Lodbrok.
Aslaug was the daughter of Sigurd and the shieldmaiden Brynhildr, but was raised by Brynhild’s fosterfather Heimer. At the death of Sigurd and Brynhild, Heimer was concerned about Aslaug’s security, so he made a harp large enough to hide the girl. He then travelled as a poor harpplayer carrying the harp containing the girl.
