This work falls under the category of poetry, specifically a ballad, and presents a tale of heroism, challenges, and quests that are characteristic of the ballad tradition. The likely topic of the poem revolves around themes of valor and revenge as it follows the protagonist, Orm Ungerswayne, in his battle against a formidable giant and his quest to win a princess. The narrative recounts how Orm Ungerswayne, a young hero inspired by his lineage, bravely steps up to confront the towering Jutt of Bern, who demands a princess and half the Danish lands as tribute. When none of the Danish warriors are willing to fight, Orm takes on the challenge, revealing his noble heritage and determination. As the tale unfolds, Orm awakens his father’s spirit to receive the mythical sword, Birting, which helps him achieve victory over the giant after an arduous fight. He not only triumphs over Jutt but also avenges his father's death by defeating Tord of Valland, leading him to claim the love of the princess amidst the triumphant celebrations that follow.
