Ormin
Orm, OSA, also known as Ormin (fl. 1150s–80s), was an Augustinians, Augustinian canon from south Lincolnshire who wrote the ''Ormulum'', a collection of verse homilies that is the oldest English autograph and one of the most significant records of Middle English. His work is a successful example of homiletics translating Latin learning to balance the needs of his fellow canons, who likely spoke Anglo-Norman French, with those of lay English-speaking audiences. Name Orm names himself at the end of the work's prologue: (Ded. 323–24: 'Where I was christened, I was named Ormin by name'). This name derives from Old Norse, meaning ''worm'', ''serpent'' or ''dragon''. With the suffix of "myn" for "man" (hence "Ormin"), it was a common name throughout the Danelaw area of England. The metre dictated the choice between each of the two forms of the name. The title of the collection, "Ormulum", is modelled after the Latin language, Latin word ("mirror"), so popular in the title of m ...

Ormulum
The ''Ormulum'' or ''Orrmulum'' is a twelfth-century work of biblical exegesis, written by an Augustinian canon named Orm (or Ormin) and consisting of just under 19,000 lines of early Middle English verse. Because of the unique phonemic orthography adopted by its author, the work preserves many details of English pronunciation existing at a time when the language was in flux after the Norman conquest of England. Consequently, it is invaluable to philologists and historical linguists in tracing the development of the language. After a preface and dedication, the work consists of homilies explicating the biblical texts set for the mass throughout the liturgical year. It was intended to be consulted as the texts changed, and is agreed to be tedious and repetitive when read straight through. Only about a fifth of the promised material is in the single manuscript of the work to survive, which is in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Orm developed an idiosyncratic spelling system. Mo ...

Orm Eriksson (also ''Orm Eiriksson'', c. 1476 – 1521) was a Norwegian nobleman living in Stavanger and the alleged leader of the tax revolt in Rogaland, which ended with his execution in 1521.

The earliest mention of him was dated 17 June 1490, when he was one of the witnesses of a legal document. He did not have at that time a title of nobility.

Orm Storolfsson
Orm Stórolfsson, also known as Orm Stórolfsson the Strong ( 1000 CE), was an Icelandic strongman who gained considerable attention during his lifetime for extraordinary feats of strength. He is documented in the Icelandic saga book to have walked three steps with the mast of Ormrinn Langi, weighing and in length, on his shoulders before breaking his back. According to legend, it took some 50 men to place the ship's mast on his shoulders due to its extreme weight and it was a nightmare to keep the log in balance because of its immense length. On 31 January 2015, the record, which had stood for over 1,000 years, was beaten by fellow Icelander Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson at the World's Strongest Viking competition in Norway. Hafthór carried a , log for five steps in freezing cold weather and famously yelled ''"History!"'' after being elated with his record breaking performance. On 7 July 2019, as a part of the History Channel television series The Strongest Man in History, Br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orm Embar
This is a list of the names of characters in the stories about the fantasy world of Earthsea, created by Ursula K. Le Guin. Nomenclature In Earthsea, each individual among the Hardic peoples has several names over the course of their life: a child-name, a use-name and a true name. Up to puberty, a person is known by their child-name; at their rite of Passage, at about the age of thirteen, that name is taken from them and they are given their true name in the Old Speech by a witch, sorcerer or wizard. One's true name is a closely guarded secret shared only with those whom they trust completely because it grants the knower control over the person. A use-name is adopted for everyday dealings. It may be an animal (Dragonfly, Hare, Otter, Sparrowhawk), a plant (Alder, Heather, Moss, Rowan), a substance (Diamond, Flint, Ivory, Jasper, Onyx) or something else (Golden, Kurremkarmerruk, the latter having no meaning). Use-names are not unique; there are, for instance, three different ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Long Ships
''The Long Ships'' or ''Red Orm'' (original Swedish: ''Röde Orm'' meaning ''Red Serpent'' or ''Red Snake'') is an adventure novel by the Swedish writer Frans G. Bengtsson. The narrative is set in the late 10th century and follows the adventures of the Viking Röde Orm - called "Red" for his hair and his temper, a native of Scania. The book portrays the political situation of Europe in the later Viking Age, Andalusia under Almansur, Denmark under Harald Bluetooth, followed by the struggle between Eric the Victorious and Sven Forkbeard, Ireland under Brian Boru, England under Ethelred the Unready, and the Battle of Maldon, and then the Byzantine Empire and its Varangian Guard, Kievan Rus and its neighbors the Patzinaks - all before the backdrop of the gradual Christianization of Scandinavia, contrasting the pragmatic Norse pagan outlook with the exclusiveness of Islam and Christianity. The novel is divided into two parts, published in 1941 and 1945, with two books each. It u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kirkdale Sundial
Kirkdale sundial The Saxon sundial at St Gregory's Minster, Kirkdale in North Yorkshire, near Kirkbymoorside, is an ancient canonical sundial which dates to the mid 11th century. The panel containing the actual sundial above the church doors is flanked by two panels, bearing a rare inscription in Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons. The sundial, discovered during a renovation in 1771, commemorates the rebuilding of the ruined church, about the year 1055, by Orm, son of Gamal, whose Scandinavian names suggest that he may have been a descendant of Vikings who overran and settled this region in the late 9th century. Inscription The inscription on the sundial reads as follows: :+ ORM GAMAL / SVNA BOHTE SCS / GREGORIVS MIN / STER ÐONNE HI / T ǷFS ÆL TOBRO // CAN ⁊ TOFALAN ⁊ HE / HIT LET MACAN NEǷAN FROM / GRVNDE ΧΡE ⁊ SCS GREGORI / VS IN EADǷARD DAGVM CNG / ⁊ TOSTI DAGVM EORL + :''Orm Gamal suna bohte Sanctus Gregorius Minster ðonne hit wæs æl tobr ...
