[95] Boor, the English for Bonde; and "pert" is a Scotch word meaning horse. [_Sic_, Q^e _pertly_?--T. M.] [96] Hjorthöi's description, part ii., p. 135. There is no Arne Gunstad in Gram's Census, but the names of Joen and Oluff Gunstad, tenants, are mentioned. Arne may have been the son of one of these. [97] The horn she used was a cow or bent horn, with five or eight holes in it. [98] Hjorthöi, as well as tradition, calls him Berdon; in Gram's Census the name is written Berdun, and in Christian the Fourth's Deed of Gift Bardum; which various appellations are undoubtedly synonymous and only a variation produced by time and by the gradual corruption of the ancient name of Baard, Bard. [99] Both Guri's air and the Scots' march are still played by the musicians of the district, but they have probably been much altered, especially the latter. They are both attached to this treatise, set for the piano. It may be that some of the original notes will be found in "Sinclair's March," and possibly the true "Sinclair March" may be found in Scotland; for it is credible that Colonel Sinclair made use of the pipe music of the Sinclair clan, and although the clans have long been broken up, there are still a great number of pipers over the whole of the north part of Scotland who know well all the old melodies, and transmit them from generation to generation. [Music: GURI'S SONG.] [Music: SINCLAIR MARCH.] [100] The superstition that men of extraordinary valour can render themselves invulnerable, and that leaden bullets were of no use against them, but that silver was essential, is still extant, and is or was common in many other countries. [See "Tales of a Grandfather" for the death of Dundee, shot with a silver bullet, and "Old Mortality," for further reference to this superstition.--T. M.] [101] _Hage_ or _Hagebösse_, in Norwegian (_Haken_ or _Hakenrohr_, in German), was the first gun that replaced the bow or crossbow.--C. J. Chr. Berg on the "Land Defences," p. 252. [102] Kruse's Report. [103] The name is to be found in Gram's Census. [104] [Made in 1731. See p. 77.--T. M.] [105] In his Report Kruse says they were "four hundred and five men strong." In the "Ballad of the Valley" (see _ante_) they are stated at about five hundred men; and therefore the estimate of three hundred men given in the inscription on the post over Sinclair's grave appears to be erroneous. [106] The barn still stands, a little north of Sinclair's grave, in the vicinity of the King's highway. [107] At Agershuus Castle (the fort of Christiania). [108] That is, to Denmark. [109] That is, take Danish military service. Jörgen Lunge was a Danish nobleman, who was at that time in command of the Castle of Bohuus.
