‘And the maiden of Hveðrungr <= Loki> [= Hel] invited a third ruler out of the world to a meeting when Hálfdan, who lived in Holtan, had used up the allotment of the norns. And afterwards the victorious ones buried the ruler in Borre. ’
notes and context
Hálfdan, son of Eysteinn, bore the nicknames inn mildi ‘the Generous’ and inn matarilli ‘the Food-stingy’ because, while he rewarded his men richly with gold coins, he was mean with food. His primary seat was Holtar in Vestfold, where, after a life as a great warrior, he died of illness. He is buried in Borró (Borre).
