Medieval music (especially real) that can play in battle

I often listen to medieval music, especially real or realistic (that's to say no movies' soundtracks or whatever), when I play to Warband and other medieval games such as Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, and I am sure I am not the only one. What's more, I am looking for music that I can use for the previews of my mod.

But not all medieval music is good for that. Having songs such as Ay, Santa Maria (Spain, late 13th century) playing when you are beheading guys and crushing peasants is weird. The musics have to be enough dynamic and not too joyful.
I created this topic so that we can share medieval music good for combat.

So here what I have for the moment:

PS: You are not compelled to post only real medieval music, you can also post music of movies or modern bands such as Corvus Corax as long as it sounds not too fancy/modern (I mean no Matrix soundtrack or whatever).

Do you all listening to ridiculous pseudo-"Viking" metal while playing or what ?

Well, I mostly listen to my clanmates while playing. But you got some nice songs there, I must say.

Thanks. Indeed I forgot that many people listen to their mates while playing

Jepekula usually listen to me while i sing Scandinavian folksongs 

You're welcome
I'll make a list of good music from movies and video games soon.

Very nice. I have something similar for playing Battlefield 3, as in a set of music that goes well. Techno/dubstep and such.

This is great for Warband though. Reminds me of the Old Steel Music Mod for .751 that I use to use.

An attempt in recreating ancient Germanic music from around the migration period and dark ages:

Kind regards,
G.

Wooow, I only found this now, but I highly appreciate this kind of music, as well.

Since you people are still around and since this is highly relevant to my interests, here, allow me. I'm using these on my personal mod, so I'll share both campaign and battle music. I can't believe we are covering nearly the same tastes, from time period, while avoiding "sacred" music and maintaining melodic variance.

Although I selected the most pleasing and varied to modern ears, they're still not that pseudo epic/metal stuff you see in the games, movies and mainstream music, which are completely uninformed and inappropriate and are mostly modern (pre)constructions.

These are (neo)medieval and (neo)folk. Actually, most of them are (some of the best) recreations and interpretations of real medieval music.  So, enjoy my friends (:

These are Iberian songs as swell, but don't mistake them with Spanish. During this time, there we're many Iberian Kingdoms. These belong to the Portuguese-galaic branch which was the language of the poets that led to Portuguese. This is why they say that Portuguese is the language of poets and bards, because this language was developed by them. Even in that time it was considered the prefered language for music in the Iberian courts before the rise of Castilian, which led to Spanish...

There is a lot of great medieval background music for the VIET Crusader Kings II mod. Should be perfect for this game. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?755393-VIET-VIET-Music-Download-Here

All of it is free. (Not sure if the link is allowed or not.)

What a pitty, this artist has been known in France thanks to his talents in medieval music, and now that he has money and notoriety, he makes this useless remake of this silly serie's music title instead of popularizing unfairly unknown real medieval songs:

Nice site, thanks!

@Al Mansur: You are right, many of those talented artists cheapen their quality for money. It is pride as well as committment by their channeling deals. Big channels like Vevo, Machinima and such do contracts with them and they are not free until completion. So, most tend to make videos cheap, quick and with low quality(not in resolution ). It's a shame, really, especially when the artist is talented, like you say.

  Stella Splendens - 14th century

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_Splendens

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llibre_Vermell_de_Montserrat

Latin

Stella splendens in monte
ut solis radium
miraculis serrato
exaudi populum
concurrunt universi
gaudentes populi
divites et egeni
grandes et parvolis
ipsum ingredientur
ut cernunt occuli
et inde reventuntur
hic ave Maria

English - Bright star

A bright star miraculously
shining on the mountain
like sunshine.
Hark the mass
assembling,
all people rejoicing,
the rich and the poor,
the greatest and the pettiest,
are gathering as well
as we are self-witnessing,
let’s all herald once more
this: Hail Mary
