notes
[1] Ingvar: Ari Þorgilsson was the first Icel. writer to give the name of Edmund’s murderer as Ívarr (the usual spelling in OIcel.) and identify him as a son of Ragnarr loðbrók; see Note to st. 5 above. The form of the name in Heil is unusual and may perhaps indicate that the enskir saungvar ‘English poems’ the poet mentions used a form of the name similar to Abbo’s Hinguar (Winterbottom 1972, 71).
