‘The treason against the mighty ruler was not repaid in small measure east of the forest, when the lord had sated the released dog of the alder [FIRE] with ash-wood.’
notes and context
In the early spring of 1225, Hákon embarked on a campaign to Sweden to punish the people of Värmland, who had given shelter to the Ribbungar and sent bands of robbers across the border to plunder in Norway. On the Saturday before Lent he burned farmsteads in Eda parish, south-east of Charlottenlund in Värmland.
