[1-4]: In the first helmingr, it is stated that Hildr nam ráða ‘took control’ (l. 4) on the island where the fight took place; the issues here turn on whether she took control ‘on behalf of’ a particular warrior (so Skj B, also here) or ‘instead of’ a warrior (so SnE 1998, II, 123) and, in either case, of which warrior? In the present instance the warrior in question is presumed to have been her father Hǫgni, but a case could also be made for Heðinn.
