Note to KrákÁsl Lv 6VIII (Ragn 17)

[4] húsgangs ‘of begging from house to house’: Húsgangr m. is a legal term, found in the final subsection (§143) of the Ómagabálkr ‘Dependents’ section’ in the Codex Regius of Grágás (Grg Ib, 28), and translated by Dennis et al. (1980-2000, II, 52) as ‘house-to-house vagrancy’. Áslaug’s words are insulting, contributing to her purpose of taunting her sons into taking revenge.
