Note to StarkSt Vík 2VIII (Gautr 10)

[2] Haralds ins egðska ‘of Haraldr inn egðski (“from Agder”)’: A Haraldr, king of Agder, termed Haraldr inn granrauði ‘Haraldr Red-whiskers’, is mentioned in Yng ch. 48 (ÍF 26, 79-80) as being killed by the Ynglingr ruler Guðrøðr, the subject of Þjóð Yt 25I. Guðrøðr asked for Haraldr’s daughter Ása in marriage but was refused. However, this man must be different from the Haraldr, father of Víkarr, in Gautr; see Context to Vík 3 (Gautr 11) below.
