Note to Þflekk Lv 1II

[11] dróttinssvika (m. acc. pl.) ‘traitors to their liege-lord’: Lit. ‘liege-lord-traitors’. For this cpd, see Fritzner: dróttinsviki. Þorgeirr refers to the fact that Magnús had appointed Kálfr Árnason one of his chief counsellors, even though he had been among the leaders of the army which opposed Óláfr at Stiklestad (see also BjHall Kálffl 7I).
