Poem about Haraldr harðráði (Har) - 4
III. Lausavísa (Lv) - 1
Nothing is known about Illugi (Ill), but his nickname bryndœlaskáld ‘Poet of the People of Brynjudalur’ indicates that he either came from Brynjudalur in southern Iceland or composed about people from that region (see SnE 1848-87, III, 595-9; LH 1894-1901, I, 634). Skáldatal (SnE 1848-87, III, 254, 262, 275) lists him among Haraldr Sigurðarson’s poets.

— eiskaldi gramr beisku
mildr réð orms of eldi —
austrfǫr þaðan gǫrva.
| Enn helt {brynnir ulfa} gǫrva austrfǫr þaðan; mildr gramr réð beisku eiskaldi orms of eldi. Again {the thirst-quencher of wolves} [WARRIOR] embarked on a well-prepared expedition eastward; the generous ruler moved the bitter heart of the snake across the fire.
