     ;Guardian of Norway�察�well we know      Thy heart failed not when from the bow      The piercing arrow´hail sharp rang      On shield and breast´plate�察�and the clang      Of sword resounded in the press      Of battle�察�like the splitting ice�察     �For Harald�察�wild wolf of the wood�察     �Must drink his fill of foeman's blood。;

Gunhild's sons resided mostly in the middle of the country�察�for they did not think it safe for them to dwell among the people of Throndhjem or of Viken�察�where King Hakon's best friends lived�察�and also in both places there were many powerful men。  Proposals of agreement then passed between Gunhild~s sons and Earl Sigurd�察�or they got no scat from the Throndhjem country�察�and at last an agreement was concluded between the kings and the earl�察�and confirmed by oath。  Earl Sigurd was to get the same power in the Throndhjem land which he had possessed under King Hakon�察�and on that they considered themselves at peace。  All Gunhild's sons had the character of being penurious�察�and it was said they hid their money in the ground。  Eyvind Skaldaspiller made a song about this�此�

     ;Main´mast of battle�  �Harald bold�      �In Hakon's days the skald wore gold      Upon his falcon's seat�察�he wore      Rolf Krake's seed�察�the yellow ore      Sown by him as he fled away�察     �The avenger Adils' speed to stay。      The gold crop grows upon the plain�察     �But Frode's girls so gay ��1�� in vain      Grind out the golden meal�察�while those      Who rule o'er Norway's realm like foes�察     �In mother earth's old bosom hide      The wealth which Hakon far and wide      Scattered with generous hand�此�the sun      Shone in the days of that great one�察     �On the gold band of Fulla's brow�撮�2��      On gold´ringed hands that bend the bow�察     �On the skald's hand�察�but of the ray      Of bright gold�察�glancing like the spray      Of sun´lit waves�察�no skald now sings       Buried are golden chains and rings。;

Now when King Harald heard this song�察�he sent a message to Eyvind to come to him�察�and when Eyvind came made a charge against him of being unfaithful。  ;And it ill becomes thee�察─�said the king�察 �to be my enemy�察�as thou hast entered into my service。;  Eyvind then made these verses�此�

     ;One lord I had before thee�察�Harald�      �One dear´loved lord�  �Now am I old�察     �And do not wish to change again�察      �To that loved lord�察�through strife and pain�察     �Faithful I stood�察�still true to Hakon�察      �To my good king�察�and him alone。      But now I'm old and useless grown�察     �My hands are empty�察�wealth is flown�察     �I am but fir for a short space      In thy court´hall to fill a place。;

But King Harald forced Eyvind to submit himself to his clemency。 Eyvind had a great gold ring�察�which was called Molde�察�that had been dug up out of the earth long since。  This ring the King said he must have as the mulet for the offence�察�and there was no help for it。  Then Eyvind sang�此�

     ;I go across the ocean´foam�察     �Swift skating to my Iceland home      Upon the ocean´skates�察�fast driven      By gales by Thurse's witch fire given。      For from the falcon´bearing hand      Harald has plucked the gold snake band      My father wore  by lawless might      Has taken what is mine by right。;

Eyvind went home�察�but it is not told that he ever came near the king again。


ENDNOTES�此。�1��  Menja and Fenja were strong girls of the giant race�察�whom      Frode bought in Sweden to grind gold and good luck to him�察     �and their meal means gold。  L。 ��2��  Fulla was one of Frig's attendants�察�who wore a gold band on      the forehead�察�and the figure means gold�察 �that the sun      shone on gold rings on the hands of the skalds in Hakon's      days。  L。



2。 CHRISTIANITY OF GUNHILD'S SONS。

Gunhild's sons embraced Christianity in England�察�as told before�察�but when they came to rule over Norway they made no progress in spreading Christianity  only they pulled down the temples of the idols�察�and cast away the sacrifices where they had it in their power�察�and raised great animosity by doing so。  The good crops of the country were soon wasted in their days�察�because there were many kings�察�and each had his court about him。  They had therefore great expenses�察�and were very greedy。  Besides�察�they only observed those laws of King Hakon which suited themselves。  They were�察�however�察�all of them remarkably handsome men  stout�察�strong�察�and expert in all exercises。  So says Glum Geirason�察�in the verses he composed about Harald�察�Gunhild's son�此�

     ;The foeman's terror�察�Harald bold�察     �Had gained enough of yellow gold�察     �Had Heimdal's teeth ��1�� enough in store�察     �And understood twelve arts or more。;

The brothers sometimes went out on expeditions together�察�and sometimes each on his own account。  They were fierce�察�but brave and active�察�and great warriors�察�and very successful。


ENDNOTES�此。�1��  Heimdal was one of the gods�察�whose horse was called Gold´      top�察�and the horse's teeth were of gold。



3。 COUNCILS BY GUNHILD AND HER SONS。

Gunhild the King´mother�察�and her sons�察�often met�察�and talked together upon the government of the country。  Once Gunhild asked her sons what they intended to do with their kingdom of Throndhjem。  ;Ye have the title of king�察�as your forefathers had before you�察�but ye have little land or people�察�and there are many to divide with。  In the East�察�at Viken�察�there are Trygve and Gudrod�察�and they have some right�察�from relationship�察�to their governments。  There is besides Earl Sigurd ruling over the whole Throndhjem country�察�and no reason can I see why ye let so large a kingdom be ruled by an earl�察�and not by yourselves。  It appears wonderful to me that ye go every summer upon viking cruises against other lands�察�and allow an earl within the country to take your father's heritage from you。  Your grandfather�察�whose name you bear�察�King Harald�察�thought it but a small matter to take an earl's life and land when he subdued all Norway�察�and held it under him to old age。;

Harald replied�察 �It is not so easy�察�mother�察�to cut off Earl Sigurd as to slay a kid or a calf。  Earl Sigurd is of high birth�察�powerful in relations�察�popular�察�and prudent�察�and I think if the Throndhjem people knew for certain there was enmity between us�察�they would all take his side�察�and we could expect only evil from them。  I don't think it would be safe for any of us brothers to fall into the hands of the Throndhjem people。;

Then said Gunhild�察 �We shall go to work another way�察�and not put ourselves forward。  Harald and Erling shall come in harvest to North More�察�and there I shall meet you�察�and we shall consult together what is to be done。;  This was done。



4。 GUNHILD'S SONS AND GRJOTGARD。

Earl Sigurd had a brother called Grjotgard�察�who was much younger�察�and much less respected�察�in fact�察�was held in no title of honour。  He had many people�察�however�察�about him�察�and in summer went on viking cruises�察�and gathered to himself property。  Now King Harald sent messengers to Throndhjem with offers of friendship�察�and with presents。  The messengers declared that King Harald was willing to be on the same friendly terms with the earl that King Hakon had been�察�adding�察�that they wished the earl to come to King Harald�察�that their friendship might be put on a firm footing。  The Earl Sigurd received well the king's messengers and friendly message�察�but said that on account of his many affairs he could not come to the king。  He sent many friendly gifts�察�and many glad and grateful words to the king�察�in return for his friendship。  With this reply the messengers set off�察�and went to Grjotgard�察�for whom they had the same message�察�and brought him good presents�察�and offered him King Harald's friendship�察�and invited him to visit the king。  Grjotgard promised to come and at the appointed time he paid a visit to King Harald and Gunhild�察�and was received in the most friendly manner。  They treated him on the most intimate footing�察�so that Grjotgard had access to their private consultations and secret councils。  At last the conversation�察�by an understanding between the king and queen�察�was turned upon Earl Sigurd�察�and they spoke to Grjotgard about the earl having kept him so long in obscurity�察�and asked him if he would not join the king's brothers in an attack on the earl。  If he would join with them�察�the king promised Grjotgard that he should be his earl�察�and have the same government that Sigurd had。 It came so far that a secret agreement was made between them�察�that Grjotgard should spy out the most favourable opportunity of attacking by surprise Earl Sigurd�察�and should give King Harald notice of it。  After this agreement Grjotgard returned home with many good presents from the king。



5。 SIGURD BURNT IN A HOUSE IN STJORADAL

Earl Sigurd went in harvest into Stjoradal to guest´quarters�察�and from thence went to Oglo to a feast。  The earl usually had many people about him�察�for he did not trust the king�察�but now�察�after friendly messages had passed between the king and him�察�he had no great following of people with him。  Then Grjotgard sent word to the king that he could never expect a better opportunity to fall upon Earl Sigurd�察�and immediately�察�that very evening�察�Harald and Erling sailed into Throndhjem fjord with several ships and many people。  They sailed all night by starlight�察�and Grjotgard came out to meet them。  Late in the night they came to Oglo�察�where Earl Sigurd was at the feast�察�and set fire to the house�察�and burnt the house�察�the earl�察�and all his men。  As soon as it was daylight�察�they set out through the fjord�察�and south to More�察�where they remained a long time。



6。 HISTORY OF HAKON�察�SIGURD'S SON。

Hakon�察�the son of Earl Sigurd�察�was up in the interior of the Throndhjem country when he heard this news。  Great was the tumult through all the Throndhjem land�察�and every vessel that could swim was put into the water�察�and as soon as the people were gathered together they took Earl Sigurd's son Hakon to be their earl and the leader of the troops�察�and the whole body steered out of Throndhjem fjord。  When Gunhild's sons heard of this�察�they set off southwards to Raumsdal and South More�察�and both parties kept eye on each other by their spies。  Earl Sigurd was killed two years after the fall of King Hakon ��A。D。 962��。  So says Eyvind Skaldaspiller in the ;Haleygjatal;�此�
