Note to Ív Sig 27II

[2] norðr í Vôgum ‘north in Vågan’: According to the prose, Vilhjálmr was killed in Vik (Víkar) on Sømna in Helgeland, which is in keeping with the Hkr version of the event (ÍF 28, 312). The poem probably originally read norðr í Víkum ‘north in Vik’ and a scribe at some point repeated the p. n. Vgum from st. 26/8. See Andersson and Gade 2000, 52.
