Note to Bkrepp Magndr 11II

[5] fellir Jóta ‘the slayer of the Jótar [= Magnús]’: It is not quite clear why Magnús is referred to as ‘the slayer of the Jótar’, but this could allude to his early campaign in Halland (then a part of Denmark) mentioned in st. 1 above. If Magnús made incursions in Dan. territories, he may also have have fought against the Jótar (the Jutes, people of Jylland).
