Bjǫrn krepphendi (Bkrepp)
12th century; volume 2; ed. Kari Ellen Gade;
Magnússdrápa (Magndr) - 11
Bjǫrn (Bkrepp) is entirely unknown, and his ethnicity cannot be confirmed (Skj gives it as Icel.). Skáldatal (SnE 1848-87, III, 254, 262, 276) lists Bjǫrn among the poets of Magnús berfœttr ‘Barelegs’ Óláfsson (d. 1103). His nickname krepphendi appears to mean ‘the Crooked-handed’. See also SnE 1848-87, III, 622-3 and LH 1894-1901, II, 55.

| Kind seggja laut und eggjar sunnar Sanntíri; {snjallr sigrgœðir} réð síðan falli Manverja. The progeny of people bent beneath sword-blades south of Kintyre; {the courageous victory-increaser} [WARRIOR] then caused the fall of the Manxmen.
