text and translation
Sín óðǫl mun Sveini
sóknstrangr í Kaupangi,
þars heilagr gramr hvílir,
— hanns ríkr jǫfurr — banna.
Ætt sinni mun unna
Ôláfr konungr hôla
(Ulfs þarfat þar arfi)
alls Nóregs (til kalla).
Sóknstrangr í Kaupangi, þars heilagr gramr hvílir, mun banna Sveini óðǫl sín; hanns ríkr jǫfurr. Ôláfr konungr mun hôla unna ætt sinni alls Nóregs; {arfi Ulfs} þarfat kalla til þar.
‘The battle-strong one in Trondheim, where the holy ruler rests, will refuse Sveinn his [Óláfr’s] ancestral properties; he is a mighty prince. King Óláfr will certainly grant his kin all Norway; Úlfr’s heir [= Sveinn] need not make a claim there.’
notes and context
As sts 6-11. In Mork, Fsk, and Hkr, this is the first st. (in Hkr the only st.) cited after Sveinn Úlfsson declared war on Norway. H-Hr constructs a new prose environment and moves the st. to document events that took place after Óláfr’s reconciliation with Sveinn.
Sveinn Úlfsson was king of Denmark (r. 1047-1074/76). See ‘Royal Biographies’ in Introduction to this vol.
