Note to Sturl Hryn 9II

[All]: Sturla draws a vivid picture of the battlefield. The vultures, ravens, eagles and wolves are shown gleefully feasting on the dead and wounded warriors. This is the only st. in Hryn describing the battlefield, or rather the aftermath of the battle. Nothing is said of King Hákon’s valour or deeds during the fighting.
