Stór skalk verk, þaus vôru |
I must tell of the great deeds of the king, which took place in Spain; the slinger of Ván’s <river’s> daylight [GOLD > GENEROUS MAN] proudly attacked Sintra. It turned out to be quite perilous for the warriors to fight against the stern lord, and they completely refused [to accept] the laws of God offered to them.
Sigurðr fought a battle against the Moors in Sintra on the Iberian Peninsula.
