Context: King Sveinn Úlfsson of Denmark fails to show up for a stipulated meeting in the river Götaälv (in present-day Sweden, then a part of Denmark) between himself and Haraldr.
Notes: [All]: For this event, see also Þfagr Sveinn 2-5. — [1] Baldr: One of the Æsir in ON mythology (a son of Óðinn). The name functions as the base-word in two kennings for ‘warrior’ (see ÞjóðA Lv 3 below), which is highly unusual within the same st.
