[5] valdi vés ‘the owner of the sanctuary [RULER]’: For a comparable kenning for ‘ruler’, see Þjóð Yt 11/3I vǫrðr véstalls ‘guardian of the altar of the sanctuary’. The present kenning is particularly appropriate in light of the role of the jarls of Lade as protectors of sanctuaries (cf. especially Eskál Vell 14I).
