The children’s poem, “London Bridge is Falling Down” is thought to be based on a battle with King Olaf the stout around 1012 - where the first London Bridge was pulled down by longships. “London Bridge is broken down - Gold is won, and bright renown. Shields resounding, War-horns sounding, Hild is shouting in the din! Arrows singing, Mail-coats ringing - Odin makes our Olaf win!” - From Heimskringla -- source link
