�察�and when Earl Einar heard that King Harald was come�察�he fled over to Caithness。 He made the following verses on this occasion�此�
;Many a bearded man must roam�察 �An exile from his house and home�察 �For cow or horse�察�but Halfdan's gore Is red on Rinansey's wild shore。 A nobler deed on Harald's shield The arm of one who ne'er will yield Has left a scar。 Let peasants dread The vengeance of the Norsemen's head�此 �I reck not of his wrath�察�but sing�察 �Do thy worst� �I defy thee�察�king� �';
Men and messages�察�however�察�passed between the king and the earl�察�and at last it came to a conference�察�and when they met the earl submitted the case altogether to the king's decision�察�and the king condemned the earl Einar and the Orkney people to pay a fine of sixty marks of gold。 As the bondes thought this was too heavy for them to pay�察�the earl offered to pay the whole if they would surrender their udal lands to him。 This they all agreed to do�此�the poor because they had but little pieces of land�察�the rich because they could redeem their udal rights again when they liked。 Thus the earl paid the whole fine to the king�察�who returned in harvest to Norway。 The earls for a long time afterwards possessed all the udal lands in Orkney�察�until Sigurd son of Hlodver gave back the udal rights。

34。 MARRIAGE OF EIRIK。
Eirik�察�Harald's son�察�was fostered in the house of the herse Thorer�察�son of Hroald�察�in the Fjord district。 He was the most beloved and honoured by King Harald of all his sons。 When Eirik was twelve years old�察�King Harald gave him five long´ships�察�with which he went on an expedition�察 �first in the Baltic�察�then southwards to Denmark�察�Friesland�察�and Saxland�察�on which expedition he passed four years。 He then sailed out into the West sea and plundered in Scotland�察�Bretland�察�Ireland�察�and Valland�察�and passed four years more in this way。 Then he sailed north to Finmark�察�and all the way to Bjarmaland�察�where he had many a battle�察�and won many a victory。 When he came back to Finmark�察�his men found a girl in a Lapland hut�察�whose equal for beauty they never had seen。 She said her name was Gunhild�察�and that her father dwelt in Halogaland�察�and was called Ozur Tote。 ;I am here�察─�she said�察 �to learn sorcery from two of the most knowing Fins in all Finmark�察�who are now out hunting。 They both want me in marriage。 They are so skilful that they can hunt out traces either upon the frozen or the thawed earth�察�like dogs�察�and they can run so swiftly on skees that neither man nor beast can come near them in speed。 They hit whatever they take aim at�察�and thus kill every man who comes near them。 When they are angry the very earth turns away in terror�察�and whatever living thing they look upon then falls dead。 Now ye must not come in their way�察�but I will hide you here in the hut�察�and ye must try to get them killed。; They agreed to it�察�and she hid them�察�and then took a leather bag�察�in which they thought there were ashes which she took in her hand�察�and strewed both outside and inside of the hut。 Shortly after the Fins came home�察�and asked who had been there�察�and she answered�察 �Nobody has been here。; ;That is wonderful�察─�said they�察 �we followed the traces close to the hut�察�and can find none after that。; Then they kindled a fire�察�and made ready their meat�察�and Gunhild prepared her bed。 It had so happened that Gunhild had slept the three nights before�察 �but the Fins had watched the one upon the other�察�being jealous of each other。 ;Now�察─�she said to the Fins�察 �come here�察�and lie down one on each side of me。; On which they were very glad to do so。 She laid an arm round the neck of each and they went to sleep directly。 She roused them up�察�but they fell to sleep again instantly�察�and so soundly the she scarcely could waken them。 She even raised them up in the bed�察�and still they slept。 Thereupon she too two great seal´skin bags�察�and put their heads in them�察�and tied them fast under their arms�察�and then she gave a wink to the king~s men。 They run forth with their weapons�察�kill the two Fins�察�and drag them out of the hut。 That same night came such a dreadful thunder´storm that the could not stir。 Next morning they came to the ship�察�taking Gunhild with them�察�and presented her to Eirik。 Eirik and his followers then sailed southwards to Halogaland and he sent word to Ozur Tote�察�the girl's father�察�to meet him。 Eirik said he would take his daughter in marriage�察�to which Ozur Tote consented�察�and Eirik took Gunhild and went southwards with her ��A。D。 922��。
35。 HARALD DIVIDES HIS KINGDOM。
When King Harald was fifty years of age many of his sons were grown up�察�and some were dead。 Many of them committed acts of great violence in the country�察�and were in discord among themselves。 They drove some of the king's earls out of their properties�察�and even killed some of them。 Then the king called together a numerous Thing in the south part of the country�察�and summoned to it all the people of the Uplands。 At this Thing he gave to all his sons the title of king�察�and made a law that his descendants in the male line should each succeed to the kingly title and dignity�察�but his descendants by the female side only to that of earl。 And he divided the country among them thus�此 �Vingulmark�察�Raumarike�察�Vestfold and Thelamark�察�he bestowed on Olaf�察�Bjorn�察�Sigtryg�察�Frode�察�and Thorgils。 Hedemark and Gudbrandsdal he gave to Dag�察�Hring�察�and Ragnar。 To Snaefrid's sons he gave Ringerike�察�Hadeland�察�Thoten�察�and the lands thereto belonging。 His son Guthorm�察�as before mentioned�察�he had set over the country from Glommen to Svinasund and Ranrike。 He had set him to defend the country to the East�察�as before has been written。 King Harald himself generally dwelt in the middle of the country�察�and Hrorek and Gudrod were generally with his court�察�and had great estates in Hordaland and in Sogn。 King Eirik was also with his father King Harald�察�and the king loved and regarded him the most of all his sons�察�and gave him Halogaland and North More�察�and Raumsdal。 North in Throndhjem he gave Halfdan the Black�察�Halfdan the White�察�and Sigrod land to rule over。 In each of these districts he gave his sons the one half of his revenues�察�together with the right to sit on a high´seat�察 �a step higher than earls�察�but a step lower than his own high´seat。 His king's seat each of his sons wanted for himself after his death�察�but he himself destined it for Eirik。 The Throndhjem people wanted Halfdan the Black to succeed to it。 The people of Viken�察�and the Uplands�察�wanted those under whom they lived。 And thereupon new quarrels arose among the brothers�察�and because they thought their dominions too little�察�they drove about in piratical expeditions。 In this way�察�as before related�察�Guthorm fell at the mouth of the Gaut river�察�slain by Solve Klofe�察�upon which Olaf took the kingdom he had possessed。 Halfdan the White fell in Eistland�察�Halfdan Haleg in Orkney。 King Harald gave ships of war to Thorgils and Frode�察�with which they went westward on a viking cruise�察�and plundered in Scotland�察�Ireland�察�and Bretland。 They were the first of the Northmen who took Dublin。 It is said that Frode got poisoned drink there�察�but Thorgils was a long time king over Dublin�察�until he fell into a snare of the Irish�察�and was killed。
36。 DEATH OF RAGNVALD RETTILBEINE。
Eirik Blood´axe expected to be head king over all his brothers and King Harald intended he should be so�察�and the father and son lived long together。 Ragnvald Rettilbeine governed Hadaland�察�and allowed himself to be instructed in the arts of witchcraft�察�and became an area warlock。 Now King Harald was a hater of all witchcraft。 There was a warlock in Hordaland called Vitgeir�察�and when the king sent a message to him that he should give up his art of witchcraft�察�he replied in this verse�此�
;The danger surely is not great From wizards born of mean estate�察 �When Harald's son in Hadeland�察 �King Ragnvald�察�to the art lays hand。;
But when King Harald heard this�察�King Eirik Blood´axe went by his orders to the Uplands�察�and came to Hadeland and burned his brother Ragnvald in a house�察�along with eighty other warlocks�察�which work was much praised。
37。 DEATH OF GUDROD LJOME。
Gudrod Ljome was in winter on a friendly visit to his foster´ father Thjodolf in Hvin�察�and had a well´manned ship�察�with which he wanted to go north to Rogaland。 It was blowing a heavy storm at the time�察�but Gudrod was bent on sailing�察�and would not consent to wait。 Thjodolf sang thus�此�
;Wait�察�Gudrod�察�till the storm is past�察 �Loose not thy long´ship while the blast Howls over´head so furiously�察 �Trust not thy long´ship to the sea�察 �Loose not thy long´ship from the shore�察 �Hark to the ocean's angry roar� �See how the very stones are tost By raging waves high on the coast� �Stay�察�Gudrod�察�till the tempest's o'er Deep runs the sea off the Jadar's shore。;
Gudrod set off in spite of what Thjodolf could say�此�and when they came off the Jadar the vessel sunk with them�察�and all on board were lost。
38。 KING BJORN KAUPMAN'S DEATH。
King Harald's son�察�Bjorn�察�ruled over Vestfold at that time�察�and generally lived at Tunsberg�察�and went but little on war expeditions。 Tunsberg at that time was much frequented by merchant vessels�察�both from Viken and the north country�察�and also from the south�察�from Denmark�察�and Saxland。 King Bjorn had also merchant ships on voyages to other lands�察�by which he procured for himself costly articles�察�and such things as he thought needful�察�and therefore his brothers called him Farman ��the Seaman���察�and Kaupman ��the Chapman��。 Bjorn was a man of sense and understanding�察�and promised to become a good ruler。 He made a good and suitable marriage�察�and had a son by his wife�察�who was
