 Heer Halewijn

Heer Halewijn (also known as "Van Here Halewijn" and "Jan Albers", and in English "The Song of Lord Halewijn") is a Dutch folk tale which survives in folk ballad.Although the first printed version of the song only appears in an anthology published in 1848, the ballad itself is first written down in the 13th century but dates back to pre-Christian times and is one of the oldest Dutch folk songs with ancient subject matter to be recorded.
