That was the next weapon-exchange north in Vågan, when Vilhjálmr fell.
Mss: Mork(34r) (Mork)
Editions: Skj AI, 499-500, Skj BI, 472, Skald I, 232; Mork 1867, 214, Mork 1928-32, 426, Andersson and Gade 2000, 380, 493 (Sslemb).
Context: On the journey south, Sigurðr killed the district chieftain Vilhjálmr skinnari ‘Tanner’ and Þóraldi keptr ‘Mug, Loudmouth’ in Vik.
Notes: [2] norðr í Vôgum ‘north in Vågan’: According to the prose, Vilhjálmr was killed in Vik (Víkar) on Sømna in Helgeland, which is in keeping with the Hkr version of the event (ÍF 28, 312). The poem probably originally read norðr í Víkum ‘north in Vik’ and a scribe at some point repeated the p. n. Vgum from st. 26/8. See Andersson and Gade 2000, 52. — [4]: For Vilhjálmr, see Note to st. 3/6. Nothing else is known about him (or about his companion, Þóraldi, who is mentioned only in the prose).
