Dagmar

The ballad tells of his fears as he sees Dagmar's page coming, and they proved only too true.

Behind prison walls, comforted only by Dagmar's son, sat the King, growing old and gray with anger and grief.

The King had other sons, but to Dagmar's boy the people had given their love from the first, as they had to his gentle mother.

Four years later the crushing blow fell when Dagmar's son, who was crowned king to succeed him, lost his life while hunting.

On arriving in Petersburg you will go straight to report yourself to her majesty the Empress Dagmar.
