This helmingr (ÞSjár Klœingr) concerns an attack on Trondheim c. 1014 and is preserved in Óláfs saga helga in both the Separate version (ÓH) and Hkr version (ÓHHkr), in Fsk, and in SnE. It is anonymous in Hkr, ÓH and SnE, but it is attributed to Þórðr in Fsk. Hkr and ÓH mention that it was part of a flokkr about Klœingr. Klœingr Brúsason (Brunason in J1ˣ, J2ˣ, Holm2; Bjarnason in 325VI, 321ˣ, 78aˣ) is unknown, but he appears from this fragment and its context in the kings’ sagas to have been in the company of Sveinn jarl Hákonarson c. 1014. Some mss (J1ˣ, J2ˣ, 972ˣ, 325VI, 321ˣ, 78aˣ, Flat) mistakenly attribute the helmingr to Klœingr. The mss used in this edn are listed below; Kˣ is the main ms. Among the SnE mss, B is now damaged and difficult to read, and it is therefore supplemented where necessary by 744ˣ, an early eighteenth-century copy made of B when that ms. was more legible.
