The text is written by Edvard Storm (1749-1794). The tune is from the Faroe Islands.
The ballad takes place at the battle of Kringen, 1612.

The lyrics are wrong at some places:
It's ham fulgte, not han fulgte (otherwise it would mean he followed his men, the translation is correct though).
it's Skiød (or skjød), not kjød. Lap or womb would work, but not flesh
Budstikke is a stick with a message, I think called bidding stick, crann tara
