Note to Mberf Lv 3^II

[6] es verr lǫnd sín rǫndu ‘who defends her lands with the shield’: If Matilda was indeed the object of Magnús’s affections, the warlike activities attributed to her in this st. are somewhat peculiar (see Note to l. 2 above). For a similar mixture of admiration for a highborn woman and battle-imagery, see Rv Lv 15, 17, 19-22.
