The years of Óláfr’s reign given here are 1015-30 (or 1014-29), but he went into exile in 1028, first to Sweden and then to Russia (see ÍF 27, lxxxi-lxxxii, 326). — [2] með hringum ‘from border to border’: This expression (lit. ‘from rings to rings’) usually describes a ship being cleared from stem to stern (i.e. between the ringed ornaments that could be attached to the stem and the stern of a ship). See also Arn Hryn 15/5 and Arn Magndr 14/5. It is used here in a territorial sense. A more common expression in a non-nautical context would be ‘from end to end’ (með endum; see Anon (HSig) 2/1). — [6]: Haraldr inn grenski was the son of Guðrøðr Bjarnason, the grandson of Haraldr hárfagri (see Genealogy II.1.d in ÍF 28). Grenland roughly comprised present-day Telemark and Bamble in southern Norway (see Storm 1900, 128 n. 1).
