Herr Holger
"Herr Holger" (Sir Holger) or "Rige herr Holgers hjemkomst" (Rich Sir Holger's Homecoming) is a Swedish and Danish folk ballad (SMB 36; DgF 322; TSB A 71) revolving around the execution of a corrupt tax collector. The song was not documented until the late 1800s, when it was collected from oral tradition in Denmark (by Evald Tang Kristensen, 1874) and southern Sweden (by Axel Ramm, 1880s). Svend Grundtvig considered the song an "offshoot" of the ballad of Marsk Stig (DgF 145), otherwise known only from manuscripts. The Swedish band Garmarna released a rendition of this song as a single in 1996.
