Note to Mark Eirdr 4II

[All]: As was the case with the previous st., the prose clearly paraphrases the poetry, and no other source mentions Eiríkr’s return to Denmark from this journey to Russia. The saga is also vague on the date of his return, but it seems to have taken place prior to 1095 (see Note to st. 3 [All] above). Saxo (2005, II, 12, 3, 1, pp. 66-7) tells us that Eiríkr was summoned from Sweden to assume the sovereignty of Denmark upon the death of his brother Óláfr (d. 1095).
