A skald (there's a variant spelling "scald" also, but frankly I've seen skald much more often) is a Scandinavian "poet" of the Viking age, though perhaps "bard" might be a more accurate equivalent. Skalds were primarily performers, not writers, though some of their poetry has survived in written form.
Skaldic poetry was usually spoken, not chanted or sung, and the skald held a semi-privileged position at court in that skalds were generally allowed (and even encouraged) to speak harsh truths to those in positions of power.
