Note to ESk Øxfl 4III

[All]: It is tempting to connect the helmingr with the events of 1155 described in Einarr’s Ingadrápa (ESk Ingdr 2-4II), when King Sigurðr munnr ‘Mouth’ Haraldsson was attacked and killed while drinking in the ale-house of Sigríðr sæta ‘Grass-widow’ near the bay of Bergen, Norway. Einarr was an eyewitness to that attack (see ÍF 24, 231-6, ÍF 28, 340-1, ÍF 29, 336-7 and the map in ÍF 29, 324).
