"Elveskud" or "Elverskud" (Danish for "Elf-shot") is the Danish, and most widely used, name for one of the most popular ballads in Scandinavia (''The Types of the Scandinavian Medieval Ballad'' A 63 'Elveskud — Elf maid causes man's sickness and death'; ''Danmarks gamle Folkeviser'' 47; ''Sveriges Medeltida Ballader'' 29). ==Origins and distribution== The origins of the ballad are agreed to be considerably earlier than the earliest manuscripts, in the Middle Ages, but there is little consensus beyond this. Many scholars suggest a Breton or French origin but the routes by which it came to and was disseminated within Northern Europe are unknown.〔Danmarks gamle Folkeviser IV: 874; R. C. Alexander Prior, ''Ancient Danish Ballads Translated from the Originals'', 2 vols (London: Williams and Norgate, 1860), I, xix, https://archive.org/details/ancientdanishba01priogoog, https://archive.org/details/ancientdanishba00unkngoog; Bengt R. Jonsson, 'Sir Olav and the Elves: The Position of the Scandinavian Version', ''Arv: Nordic Yearbook of Folklore'', 48 (1992), 65-90.〕 The ballad has close parallels across Europe (the closest English-language parallel being Clerk Colvill). The earliest surviving manuscript is Karen Brahes Folio, a Danish manuscript from the 1570s; the earliest surviving Swedish version is from the 1670s. At least seventy Scandinavian variants are known; over forty come from Denmark,〔Alfhild Forslin, ''Balladen om riddar Olof och älvorna: En traditionsundersökning.
