Hannah Burrows (ed.) 2017, ‘Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks 35 (Angantýr Arngrímsson, Lausavísur 5)’ in Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.), Poetry in fornaldarsögur. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 8. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 395.
text and translation
Muntu son geta, þann er síðan mun
Tyrfing hafa ok trúa magni.
Þann munu Heiðrek heita lýðar;
sá mun ríkstr alinn und röðuls tjaldi.
Muntu geta son, þann er mun hafa Tyrfing síðan ok trúa magni. Lýðar munu heita þann Heiðrek; sá mun alinn ríkstr und {tjaldi röðuls}.
‘You will give birth to a son, who will have Tyrfingr later, and trust in its might. People will call him Heiðrekr; he will be born most powerful under the tent of the sun [SKY/HEAVEN]. ’
notes and context
Angantýr’s prophecy is fulfilled later in the saga when Hervǫr has a son, Heiðrekr, with Hǫfundr, son of King Guðmundr of Glasisvellir (on the latter see further Heiðr 1960, 84-6); Heiðrekr becomes a powerful and wealthy king through marriage alliances, inheritance and his own war-making.
