Note to BjRagn Lv 2VIII (Ragn 20)

[7] bræðr mínir ‘my brothers’: The reference here is to Bjǫrn’s half-brothers, Eiríkr and Agnarr, the sons of Ragnarr by Þóra and the stjúpsynir ‘stepsons’ of Áslaug referred to in the next line. In reporting the deaths of Eiríkr and Agnarr to her sons by Ragnarr in the prose of Ragn, Áslaug had earlier referred to Fall þeirra Eiriks ok Agnars, bredra ydara, enn stiupsona minna ‘The fall of Eiríkr and Agnarr, your brothers and my stepsons’ (Ragn 1906-8, 143, ll. 3-5); cf. the Notes to 16/1-4 (f) and 18/8 above.
