On his first expedition to the west in 1098, Magnús captured Lǫgmaðr Guðrøðarson, who was the king of the Hebrides, the Isle of Man, and parts of Ireland.
In Mork and F the eight ll. are given as two separate helmingar with intervening prose. For Lǫgmaðr, see Note to Bkrepp Magndr 10/2. — [3, 4]: The Mork variants œgi (m. acc. sg.) jǫfra ‘the terrifier of princes’ (l. 3) and gramr (m. nom. sg.) Ívistar ‘the lord of North Uist’ (l. 4) make no sense in the present context because Lǫgmaðr, not Magnús, was king of North Uist, and he was captured by Magnús. North Uist is an island in the Hebrides.
