| Summary | "Folkungaträdet" by Verner von Heidenstam is a fictional novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a mythical and historic Scandinavian setting, centering on the character Folke Filbyter, a Viking leader who has returned to his homeland after a long absence filled with adventures and battles. The opening of the novel introduces a dramatic scene where a dwarfish figure named Jorgrimme calls out to the spirits of the dead, highlighting a looming sense of tragedy linked to a powerful family that once ruled, hinting at their eventual downfall. As Folke Filbyter arrives back at a sacred burial mound, he reflects on his past exploits and contemplates the nature of his newly acquired wealth, notably a heavy sack full of gold he bears. The narrative weaves together elements of Norse mythology, the Viking age's customs, and the character's inner conflict, setting the stage for themes of power, loss, and the search for identity in a changing world.
