Danish term

og blev derfra bragt

Danish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Rigets højhed skænkede jeg kun ringe agt/ meget land afhændedes og blev derfra bragt./ Mod undersåtterne handlede jeg også hårdt/ derfor blev jeg af dem drevet bort.”

This is a small poem describing the deeds of Christoffer II of Denmark.

Thanks

and was taken away from there

It must mean that a lot of land was sold/transferred to other rulers and in that sense "taken away" from Denmark(Riget). ( I believe that Denmark was quite split up during the reign of Christoffer II)
Something went wrong...
