text and translation
Ǫrr skjǫldungr fór eldi
Ívist; búendr misstu
— róggeisla vann ræsir
rauðan — lífs ok auðar.
Ǫrr skjǫldungr fór Ívist eldi; búendr misstu lífs ok auðar; ræsir vann {róggeisla} rauðan.
‘The generous leader advanced in North Uist with fire; farmers lost life and wealth; the ruler reddened the battle-beam [SWORD].’
notes and context
As sts 5-6 above.
In Hkr and H-Hr, this helmingr is given as ll. 5-8 of st. 5 above. However, according to the prose of Mork and Fsk (ÍF 29, 307), Magnús went from Tiree to North Uist, and not from Skye to North Uist (see Note to st. 6 above [All]).
