Þorbjǫrn skakkaskáld (Þskakk)
12th century; volume 2; ed. Kari Ellen Gade;
Erlingsdrápa (Erldr) - 3
Þorbjǫrn skakkaskáld ‘Skakki’s Poet’ (Þskakk) is unknown. Finnur Jónsson (Skj) gives his nationality as Icel., but that is conjectural. According to Skáldatal (SnE 1848-87, III, 255, 257, 264, 266, 277-8, 281) he composed about Jarl Erlingr skakki ‘the Tilting’ Kyrpinga-Ormsson (d. 1179), Erlingr’s son Magnús (d. 1184) and Sverrir Sigurðarson (d. 1202). Only the three sts from his poetry about Erlingr survive.

Býjarmenn hræddusk við rennu bjartra brodda; {{malma dyn}viðir} uggðu eld ok sveigðan alm. {Lord of men} [= Erlingr], I heard it turned out smoothly for you in spacious Tønsberg; you are not reluctant to redden the teeth {of Gríðr’s <troll-woman’s> steed} [WOLF]. The townspeople were terrified by the rush of bright arrow-points; {the trees {of the clash of weapons}} [(lit. ‘clash-trees of weapons’) BATTLE > WARRIORS] feared the fire and the bent elm-bow.
