t they thought。 King Hakon gave Trygve and Gudrod the title of kings�察�and the dominions which King Harald had bestowed on their fathers。 Trygve got Ranrike and Vingulmark�察�and Gudrod�察�Vestfold�察�but as they were young�察�and in the years of childhood�察�he appointed able men to rule the land for them。 He gave them the country on the same conditions as it had been given before�察 �that they should have half of the scat and revenues with him。 Towards spring King Hakon returned north�察�over the Uplands�察�to Throndhjem。
3。 EIRIK'S DEPARTURE FROM THE COUNTRY。
King Hakon�察�early in spring�察�collected a great army at Throndhjem�察�and fitted out ships。 The people of Viken also had a great force on foot�察�and intended to join Hakon。 King Eirik also levied people in the middle of the country�察�but it went badly with him to gather people�察�for the leading men left him�察�and went over to Hakon。 As he saw himself not nearly strong enough to oppose Hakon�察�he sailed ��A。D。 935�� out to the West sea with such men as would follow him。 He first sailed to Orkney�察�and took many people with him from that country�察�and then went south towards England�察�plundering in Scotland�察�and in the north parts of England�察�wherever he could land。 Athelstan�察�the king of England�察�sent a message to Eirik�察�offering him dominions under him in England�察�saying that King Harald his father was a good friend of King Athelstan�察�and therefore he would do kindly towards his sons。 Messengers passed between the two kings�察�and it came to an agreement that King Eirik should take Northumberland as a fief from King Athelstan�察�and which land he should defend against the Danes or other vikings。 Eirik should let himself be baptized�察�together with his wife and children�察�and all the people who had followed him。 Eirik accepted this offer�察�and was baptized�察�and adopted the right faith。 Northumberland is called a fifth part of England。 Eirik had his residence at York�察�where Lodbrok's sons�察�it was said�察�had formerly been�察�and Northumberland was principally inhabited by Northmen。 Since Lodbrok's sons had taken the country�察�Danes and Northmen often plundered there�察�when the power of the land was out of their hands。 Many names of places in the country are Norwegian�察�as Grimsby�察�Haukfliot�察�and many others。
4。 EIRIK'S DEATH。
King Eirik had many people about him�察�for he kept many Northmen who had come with him from the East�察�and also many of his friends had joined him from Norway。 But as he had little land�察�he went on a cruise every summer�察�and plundered in Scotland�察�the Hebrides�察�Ireland�察�and Bretland�察�by which he gathered property。 King Athelstan died on a sick bed�察�after a reign of fourteen years�察�eight weeds�察�and three days。 After him his brother Jatmund was king of England�察�and he was no friend to the Northmen。 King Eirik�察�also�察�was in no great favour with him�察�and the word went about that King Jatmund would set another chief over Northumberland。 Now when King Eirik heard this�察�he set off on a viking cruise to the westward�察�and from the Orkneys took with him the Earls Arnkel and Erlend�察�the sons of Earl Torfeinar。 Then he sailed to the Hebrides�察�where there were many vikings and troop´kings�察�who joined their men to his。 With all this force he steered to Ireland first�察�where he took with him all the men he could�察�and then to Bretland�察�and plundered�察�and sailed thereafter south to England�察�and marauded there as elsewhere。 The people fled before him wherever he appeared。 As King Eirik was a bold warrior�察�and had a great force�察�he trusted so much to his people that he penetrated far inland in the country�察�following and plundering the fugitives。 King Jatmund had set a king�察�who was called Olaf�察�to defend the land�察�and he gathered an innumerable mass of people�察�with whom he marched against King Eirik。 A dreadfu1 battle ensued�察�in which many Englishmen fell�察�but for one who fell came three in his place out of the country behind�察�and when evening came on the loss of men turned on the side of the Northmen�察�and many people fell。 Towards the end of the day�察�King Eirik and five kings with him fell。 Three of them were Guthorm and his two sons�察�Ivar and Harek�此�there fell�察�also�察�Sigurd and Ragnvald�察�and with them Torfeinar's two sons�察�Arnkel and Erlend。 Besides these�察�there was a great slaughter of Northmen�察�and those who escaped went to Northumberland�察�and brought the news to Gunhild and her sons ��A。D。 941��。
5。 GUNHILD AND HER SONS。
When Gunhild and her sons knew for certain that King Eirik had fallen�察�after having plundered the land of the King of England�察�they thought there was no peace to be expected for them�察�and they made themselves ready to depart from Northumberland�察�with all the ships King Eirik had left�察�and all the men who would go with them。 They took also all the loose property�察�and goods which they had gathered partly as taxes in England�察�partly as booty on their expeditions。 With their army they first steered northward to Orkney�察�where Thorfin Hausakljufer was earl�察�a son of Torfeinar�察�and took up their station there for a time。 Eirik's sons subdued these islands and Hjaltland�察�took scat for themselves�察�and staid there all the winter�察�but went on viking cruises in summer to the West�察�and plundered in Scotland and Ireland。 About this Glum Geirason sings�此�
;The hero who knows well to ride The sea´horse o'er the foamingtide�察 �He who in boyhood wild rode o'er The seaman's horse to Skanea's shore。 And showed the Danes his galley's bow�察 �Right nobly scours the ocean now。 On Scotland's coast he lights the brand Of flaming war�察�with conquering hand Drives many a Scottish warrior tall To the bright seats in Odin's hall。 The fire´spark�察�by the fiend of war Fanned to a flame�察�soon spreads afar。 Crowds trembling fly�察 �the southern foes Fall thick beneath the hero's blows�此 �The hero's blade drips red with gore�察 �Staining the green sward on the shore。;
6。 BATTLE IN JUTLAND。
When King Eirik had left the country�察�King Hakon�察�Athelstan's foster´son�察�subdued the whole of Norway。 The first winter ��A。D。 936�� he visited the western parts�察�and then went north�察�and settled in Throndhjem。 But as no peace could be reasonably looked for so long as King Eirik with his forces could come to Norway from the West sea�察�he set himself with his men´at´arms in the middle of the country�察 �in the Fjord district�察�or in Sogn�察�or Hordaland�察�or Rogaland。 Hakon placed Sigurd earl of Hlader over the whole Throradhjem district�察�as he and his father had before had it under Harald Harfager。 When King Hakon heard of his brother Eirik's death�察�and also that his sons had no footing in England�察�he thought there was not much to fear from them�察�and he went with his troops one summer eastward to Viken。 At that time the Danes plundered often in Viken�察�and wrought much evil there�察�but when they heard that King Hakon was come with a great army�察�they got out of the way�察�to Halland�察�and those who were nearest to King Hakon went out to sea�察�and over to Jotland ��Jutland��。 When the king heard of this�察�he sailed after them with all his army。 On arriving in Jutland he plundered all round�察�and when the country people heard of it�察�they assembled in a great body�察�and determined to defend their land�察�and fight。 There was a great battle�察�and King Hakon fought so boldly�察�that he went forward before his banner without helmet or coat of mail。 King Hakon won the victory�察�and drove the fugitives far up the country。 So says Guthorm Sindre�察�in his song of Hakon�此�
;Furrowing the deep´blue sea with oars�察 �The king pursues to Jutland's shores。 They met�察�and in the battle storm Of clashing shields�察�full many a form Of goodly warrior on the plain�察 �Full many a corpse by Hakon slain�察 �Glutted the ravens�察�who from far�察 �Scenting the banquet´feast of war�察 �Came in black flocks to Jutland's plains To drink the blood´wine from the veins。;
7。 BATTLE IN EYRARSUND ��THE SOUND��。
Then Hakon steered southwards with his fleet to seek the vikings�察�and so on to Sealand。 He rowed with two cutters into the Eyrarsund�察�where he found eleven viking ships�察�and instantly attacked them。 It ended in his gaining the victory�察�and clearing the viking ships of all their men。 So says Guthorm Sindre�此 �
;Hakon the Brave�察�whose skill all know To bend in battle storm the bow�察 �Rushed o'er the waves to Sealand's tongue�察 �His two war´ships with gilt shields hung�察 �And cleared the decks with his blue sword That rules the fate of war�察�on board Eleven ships of the Vindland men。 Famous is Hakon's name since then。;
8。 KING HAKON'S EXPEDITION TO DENMARK。
Thereafter King Hakon carried war far and wide in Sealand�察�plundering some�察�slaying others�察�taking some prisoners of war�察�taking ransom from others�察�and all without opposition。 Then Hakon proceeded along the coast of Skane�察�pillaging everywhere�察�levying taxes and ransome from the country�察�and killing all vikings�察�both Danish and Vindish。 He then went eastwards to the district of Gautland�察�marauded there�察�and took great ransom from the country。 So says Guthorm Sindre�此�
;Hakon�察�who midst the battle shock Stands like a firmly´rooted oak�察 �Subdued all Sealand with the sword�此 �From Vindland vikings the sea´bord Of Scania swept�察�and�察�with the shield Of Odin clad�察�made Gautland yield A ransom of the ruddy gold�察 �Which Hakon to his war´men bold Gave with free hand�察�who in his feud Against the arrow´storm had stood。;
King Hakon returned back in autumn with his army and an immense booty�察�and remained all the winter ��A。D。 946�� in Viken to defend it against the Danes and Gautlanders�察�if they should attack it。
9。 OF KING TRYGVE。
In the same winter King Trygve Olafson returned from a viking cruise in the West sea�察�having before ravaged in Ireland and Scotland。 In spring ��A。D。 946�� King Hakon went north�察�and set his brother's son�察�King Trygve�察�over Viken to defend that country against enemies。 He gave him also in property all that he could reconquer of the country in Denmark�察�which the summer before King Hakon had subjected to payment of scat to him。 So says Guthorm�此�
