Note to Arn Þorfdr 19II

[1] ýtar ‘men’: It seems likely that the men who, directly or indirectly, destroyed the peace between the jarls were Kálfr Árnason and his Norw. followers who, according to Orkn ch. 25, stirred up discontent in Þorfinnr over Rǫgnvaldr controlling two thirds of the Isles. Kálfr’s support for Þorfinnr is commemorated in BjHall Kálffl 8I.
