Note to Skúli Svǫlðr 3III

[3] í hundraðsflokki ‘in a force of a hundred’: For this military term, see Note to ÞjóðA Magnfl 7/1II. In what is possibly an echo of the present half-stanza, Þjóðólfr Arnórsson (c. 1045) depicts King Magnús inn góði ‘the Good’ Óláfsson of Norway as framast manna í hundraðsflokki ‘foremost of the men in a force of a hundred’ at the battle against the Wends at Lyrskovshede in 1043.
