Blakkr (Blakkr)
12th century; volume 2; ed. Kari Ellen Gade;
1. Breiðskeggsdrápa (Breiðdr) - 2
2. Lausavísur (Lv) - 2
Skáldatal (SnE 1848-87, III, 255, 264, 278) tells us that Blakkr (called ‘Blakkr skáld’ in Sv, ÍF 30, 176) was one of King Sverrir Sigurðarson’s poets, but none of his poems about Sverrir has survived. He stayed with Sverrir 1187-91. According to Finnur Jónsson (SnE 1848-87, III, 649; Skj) Blakkr was an Icelander, but there is no evidence to support that assumption.

hvárttveggja Breiðskeggi:
— nús friðspillir fallinn —
fæst gótt ok dul hæsta.
| Breiðskeggi hafði, meðan lifði hér, hvárttveggja: fæst gótt ok hæsta dul; nús friðspillir fallinn. Breiðskeggi had, while he lived here, two qualities: the least goodness and the greatest conceit; now the peace-spoiler has fallen.
