‘Eysteinn gives people wealth; Sigurðr increases the noise of the shield [BATTLE]; Ingi lets weapons sing; Magnús creates concord between men. The kin of the very precious ruler reddens the battle-tent [SHIELD] with blood; never have four more distinguished brothers appeared beneath the sun.’
notes and context
The st. is cited to document the good qualities of the sons of Haraldr gilli.
For information on Haraldr’s sons Eysteinn, Ingi and Sigurðr, see Notes to Anon Nkt 56, 58-60 and ‘Royal Biographies’ in Introduction to this vol. Magnús died young, and very little is known about him (see Hkr, ÍF 28, 321).
