Berggreen added a piano arrangement to the Manx folk song Illiam Dhone. The folk tune is apparently was printed in The Mona melodies : a collection of ancient & original airs of the Isle of Man from 1820. However, the text of the folk song deals with the Manx rebellion of 1651 (led by Illiam Dhone), and the text of Berggreen's arrangement deals with 1249 folk tale of Knight Ivar. It is unknown who wrote the text that Berggreen used.
