Note to Bragi Rdr 11III

[1] í holmi ‘on the island’: If Bragi knew the same version of the legend as Snorri, this must be the Orkney island of Hoy (ON Háey). Other versions of the legend also involve fighting on an island; cf. Saxo’s Hithinsø (Saxo 2005, I, 5. 9, 1, p. 342), probably Hiddensee off Rügen in the Baltic Sea.
