95。 OF THE BEGINNING OF THE BATTLE。

Now the battle began。  The Englishmen made a hot assault upon the Northmen�察�who sustained it bravely。  It was no easy matter for the English to ride against the Northmen on account of their spears�察�therefore they rode in a circle around them。  And the fight at first was but loose and light�察�as long as the Northmen kept their order of battle�察�for although the English rode hard against the Northmen�察�they gave way again immediately�察�as they could do nothing against them。  Now when the Northmen thought they perceived that the enemy were making but weak assaults�察�they set after them�察�and would drive them into flight�察�but when they had broken their shield´rampart the Englishmen rode up from all sides�察�and threw arrows and spears on them。  Now when King Harald Sigurdson saw this�察�he went into the fray where the greatest crash of weapons was�察�and there was a sharp conflict�察�in which many people fell on both sides。  King Harald then was in a rage�察�and ran out in front of the array�察�and hewed down with both hands�察�so that neither helmet nor armour could withstand him�察�and all who were nearest gave way before him。  It was then very near with the English that they had taken to flight。  So says Arnor�察�the earls' skald�此�

     ;Where battle´storm was ringing�察     �Where arrow´cloud was singing�察          �Harald stood there�察          �Of armour bare�察     �His deadly sword still swinging。      The foeman feel its bite�察     �His Norsemen rush to fight�察          �Danger to share�察          �With Harald there�察     �Where steel on steel was ringing。;



96。 FALL OF KING HARALD。

King Harald Sigurdson was hit by an arrow in the windpipe�察�and that was his death´wound。  He fell�察�and all who had advanced with him�察�except those who retired with the banner。  There was afterwards the warmest conflict�察�and Earl Toste had taken charge of the king's banner。  They began on both sides to form their array again�察�and for a long time there was a pause in fighting。 Then Thiodolf sang these verses�此�

     ;The army stands in hushed dismay�察     �Stilled is the clamour of the fray。      Harald is dead�察�and with him goes      The spirit to withstand our foes。      A bloody scat the folk must pay      For their king's folly on this day。      He fell�察�and now�察�without disguise�察     �We say this business was not wise。;

But before the battle began again Harald Godwinson offered his brother�察�Earl Toste�察�peace�察�and also quarter to the Northmen who were still alive�察�but the Northmen called out�察�all of them together�察�that they would rather fall�察�one across the other�察�than accept of quarter from the Englishmen。  Then each side set up a war´shout�察�and the battle began again。  So says Arnor�察�the earls' skald�此�

     ;The king�察�whose name would ill´doers scare�察     �The gold´tipped arrow would not spare。      Unhelmed�察�unpanzered�察�without shield�察     �He fell among us in the field。      The gallant men who saw him fall      Would take no quarter�察�one and all      Resolved to die with their loved king�察     �Around his corpse in a corpse´ring。;



97。 SKIRMISH OF ORRE。

Eystein Orre came up at this moment from the ships with the men who followed him�察�and all were clad in armour。  Then Eystein got King Harald's banner Land´ravager�察�and now was�察�for the third time�察�one of the sharpest of conflicts�察�in which many Englishmen fell�察�and they were near to taking flight。  This conflict is called Orre's storm。  Eystein and his men had hastened so fast from the ships that they were quite exhausted�察�and scarcely fit to fight before they came into the battle�察�but afterwards they became so furious�察�that they did not guard themselves with their shields as long as they could stand upright。  At last they threw off their coats of ringmail�察�and then the Englishmen could easily lay their blows at them�察�and many fell from weariness�察�and died without a wound。  Thus almost all the chief men fell among the Norway people。  This happened towards evening�察�and then it went�察�as one might expect�察�that all had not the same fate�察�for many fled�察�and were lucky enough to escape in various ways�察�and darkness fell before the slaughter was altogether ended。



98。 OF STYRKAR THE MARSHAL。

Styrkar�察�King Harald Sigurdson's marshal�察�a gallant man�察�escaped upon a horse�察�on which he rode away in the evening。  It was blowing a cold wind�察�and Styrkar had not much other clothing upon him but his shirt�察�and had a helmet on his head�察�and a drawn sword in his hand。  As soon as his weariness was over�察�he began to feel cold。  A waggoner met him in a lined skin´coat。  Styrkar asks him�察 �Wilt thou sell thy coat�察�friend�拭�

;Not to thee�察─�says the peasant�此 �thou art a Northman�察�that I can hear by thy tongue。;

Styrkar replies�察 �If I were a Northman�察�what wouldst thou do�拭�

;I would kill thee�察─�replied the peasant�察 �but as ill luck would have it�察�I have no weapon just now by me that would do it。;

Then Styrkar says�察 �As you can't kill me�察�friend�察�I shall try if I can't kill you。;  And with that he swung his sword�察�and struck him on the neck�察�so that his head came off。  He then took the skin´coat�察�sprang on his horse�察�and rode down to the strand。  

Olaf Haraldson had not gone on land with the others�察�and when he heard of his father's fall he made ready to sail away with the men who remained。



99。 OF WILLIAM THE BASTARD。

When the Earl of Rouen�察�William the Bastard�察�heard of his relation�察�King Edward's�察�death�察�and also that Harald Godwinson was chosen�察�crowned�察�and consecrated king of England�察�it appeared to him that he had a better right to the kingdom of England than Harald�察�by reason of the relationship between him and King Edward。  He thought�察�also�察�that he had grounds for avenging the affront that Harald had put upon him with respect to his daughter。  From all these grounds William gathered together a great army in Normandy�察�and had many men�察�and sufficient transport´shipping。  The day that he rode out of the castle to his ships�察�and had mounted his horse�察�his wife came to him�察�and wanted to speak with him�察�but when he saw her he struck at her with his heel�察�and set his spurs so deep into her breast that she fell down dead�察�and the earl rode on to his ships�察�and went with his ships over to England。  His brother�察�Archbishop Otto�察�was with him�察�and when the earl came to England he began to plunder�察�and take possession of the land as he came along。  Earl William was stouter and stronger than other men�察�a great horseman and warrior�察�but somewhat stern�察�and a very sensible man�察�but not considered a man to be relied on。



100。 FALL OF KING HARALD GODWINSON。

King Harald Godwinson gave King Harald Sigurdson's son Olaf leave to go away�察�with the men who had followed him and had not fallen in battle�察�but he himself turned round with his army to go south�察�for he had heard that William the Bastard was overwhelming the south of England with a vast army�察�and was subduing the country for himself。  With King Harald went his brothers Svein and Gyrd�察�and Earl Valthiof。  King Harald and Earl William met each other south in England at Helsingja´port ��Hastings��。  There was a great battle in which King Harald and his brother Earl Gyrd and a great part of his men fell。  This was the nineteenth day after the fall of King Harald Sigurdson。  Harald's brother�察�Earl Valthiof�察�escaped by flight�察�and towards evening fell in with a division of William's people�察�consisting of 100 men�察�and when they saw Earl Valthiof's troop they fled to a wood。  Earl Valthiof set fire to the wood�察�and they were all burnt。  So says Thorkel Skallason in Valthiof's ballad�此�

     ;Earl Valthiof the brave      His foes a warming gave�此     �Within the blazing grove      A hundred men he drove。      The wolf will soon return�察     �And the witch's horse will burn      Her sharp claws in the ash�察     �To taste the Frenchman's flesh。;



101。 EARL VALTHIOF'S DEATH。

William was proclaimed king of England。  He sent a message to Earl Valthiof that they should be reconciled�察�and gave him assurance of safety to come to the place of meeting。  The earl set out with a few men�察�but when he came to a heath north of Kastala´bryggia�察�there met him two officers of King William�察�with many followers�察�who took him prisoner�察�put him in fetters�察�and afterwards he was beheaded�察�and the English call him a saint。 Thorkel tells of this�此�

     ;William came o'er the sea�察     �With bloody sword came he�此     �Cold heart and bloody hand      Now rule the English land。      Earl Valthiof he slew�察      �Valthiof the brave and true。      Cold heart and bloody hand      Now rule the English land。;

William was after this king of England for twenty´one years�察�and his descendants have been so ever since。



102。 OF OLAF HARALDSON'S EXPEDITION TO NORWAY。

Olaf�察�the son of King Harald Sigurdson�察�sailed with his fleet from England from Hrafnseyr�察�and came in autumn to the Orkney Isles�察�where the event had happened that Maria�察�a daughter of Harald Sigurdson�察�died a sudden death the very day and hour her father�察�King Harald�察�fell。  Olaf remained there all winter�察�but the summer after he proceeded east to Norway�察�where he was proclaimed king along with his brother Magnus。  Queen Ellisif came from the West�察�along with her stepson Olaf and her daughter Ingegerd。  There came also with Olaf over the West sea Skule�察�a son of Earl Toste�察�and who since has been called the king's foster´son�察�and his brother Ketil Krok。  Both were gallant men�察�of high family in England�察�and both were very intelligent�察�and the brothers were much beloved by King Olaf。  Ketil Krok went north to Halogaland�察�where King Olaf procured him a good marriage�察�and from him are descended many great people。  Skule�察�the king's foster´son�察�was a very clever man�察�and the handsomest man that could be seen。  He was the commander of King Olaf's court´men�察�spoke at the Things ��1�� and took part in all the country affairs with the king。  The king offered to give Skule whatever district in Norway he liked�察�with all the income and duties that belonged to the king in it。  Skule thanked him very much for the offer�察�but said he would rather have something else from him。  ;For if there came a shift of kings�察─�said he�察 �the gift might come to nothing。  I would rather take some p
