Note to Hróksv Hrkv 1VIII (Hálf 51)

[2] sonr Hámundar ‘the son of Hámundr [= Hrókr inn svarti]’: The prose text claims (Hálf 1981, 177) that Hámundr inn frækni ‘the Bold’ was a hersir, a Norwegian district chieftain. His sister Gunnlǫð was married to Álfr jarl inn gamli ‘the Old’ from Hordaland (Hǫrðaland) and their two sons were the two brothers named Steinn, Innsteinn and Útsteinn.
