Skúli’s retainers were bloated from boasting; they hardly retreated while the belly was full; those heroes from Denmark drank; they hardly dragged themselves through mountains and forests. Then it happened, when campaigns began, that there were bad complaints and few around the standard poles; oaths were broken to Ingi’s brother [= Skúli]; no one wished to follow further.
In the autumn of 1236, many of Skúli Bárðarson’s retainers have joined Hákon, who is on his way from Bergen north to Trondheim to meet Skúli and try to settle their disagreements. Skúli leaves Trondheim and intends to travel by land south across the mountains. When he comes to Rennebu, many of his sworn men and retainers leave him. Then this st. is spoken.
