When Christians made their theological push into Europe, suppressing native religions and supplanting them with a foreign God, some pagans resisted by secretly practicing their old religion, while others resisted by meeting force with force. One such case of forceful resistance was by Tore Hund or Thorir the Hound, a powerful Viking born around 990 AD, during the first incursions of Christianity into Norway.
Today, many people around the world still resort to violence over religion, more than 1,000 years after Tore Hund killed King Olaf II or Saint Olaf, who reportedly made a deal to impose Christianity on Norway in exchange for the help of other European powers. Tore killed Olaf at the battle of Stiklestad. There, an army of farmers and laborers overwhelmed the king’s army.
One person’s hero, another persons’ villain
To Christians, Olaf is a martyr and literally a saint to whom miracles have been attributed. However, to the modern Asatruar (worshipers of the old Norse gods), neo-pagans, and the pagans of his own time, Tore Hund is a hero. Tore is remembered not only for fiercely protecting his religion, but for being a leader of the common people, who bravely stood against the powerful nobility that throughout history has taken so much and given so little.

Norwegian text:
Ørna har stupt
i gløym-svevn kvilar
Kråka har kraksa i ørnereiret
Trudd seg ørna lik
Gjetord gjevt
vann du aldri
låk var din løn
Brottkongens bane
Folket fylka
Flokkar fyl-g-de
Uår trossa
Bondehærs brande!
Fram fram Bondemenn!
Tore Hund han ris igjen!
Fram fram Bondemenn!
or gløym-svevn han ris igjen!
Sjølv etter had døde
nyt nidkongen føde
matar seg mett
på makt og visdomsøde
renkjespelt rykte
fekk vekse fram
fordummande veldet
forstummande veldet
tre utan næring
rotnat på rot
tre utan rot
...fell
Fram fram Bondemenn!
Tore Hund han ris igjen!
Fram fram Bondemenn!
or gløym-svevn han ris igjen!

English Translation:
The eagle has fallen
resting in forgetful sleep
The crow has croaked in the eagle's nest
Believing itself equal
Proud legacy
You never won
Poor was the pay
Slayer of the king of shame
People of the land gathered
Flocks followed
Defied starvation
Chieftain of the peasant-army
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
Tore Hund arises again!
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
From forgetful sleep he rises again!
Even after death
The piteous king enjoys his feed
Fills a greedy belly with power and
wisdom absent
Manipulative rumor
Was cultivated
Stupidifying the land!
Silencing the land!
A tree without nourish
Rots on it's roots
A tree without roots
...Falls
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
Tore Hund arises again!
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
From forgetful sleep he rises again!
