{Vitr valdr norrænar aldar} lét brjóta virki Ljóðhúsa austr, þar er ógnfúsir jöfrar treystuz. Þat veitk, at {göfugr oddviti jöfra} galt Gautum rán; þjóð fekk reiði ræsis; slíkt gekk at vánum.
‘The wise ruler of the Norwegian people [NORWEGIAN KING = Hákon] let the stronghold of Lödöse be broken in the east, where terror-eager princes felt secure. This I know, that the glorious leader of princes [KING] repaid the Gautar for the plunder; people got the wrath of the ruler; such went according to expectation.’
notes and context
In the autumn of 1227, Hákon learned that Knútr Hákonarson’s men in Lödöse had killed and plundered Jarl Skúli Bárðarson’s envoys to King Valdimarr of Denmark, and he sent men to retaliate. Knútr had left men in a stronghold, which Hákon’s men destroyed and plundered.
In 8, the st. is attributed to Óláfr hvítaskáld (Ólhvít).
