Note to Halli XI Fl 4II

[7] ofrhugi svellr jǫfrum ‘rashness builds up in the kings’: This criticism is reminiscent of Byrhtnoð’s ofermōd ‘pride, insolence’ in The Battle of Maldon (ll. 89-90) and may represent an instance of late Viking Age skaldic poets emulating annalists of the period (Jesch 2005, 198-9). See also Note to Arn Hardr 12/1.
