Þess es austr
í Ósló bœ
lofðungs lík
lagit í kistu.
Nú grœr jǫrð
of jǫfurs beinum
at Hallvarðs
hári kirkju.
Lík þess lofðungs es lagit í kistu austr í Ósló bœ. Nú grœr jǫrð of beinum jǫfurs at hári Hallvarðskirkju.
‘The corpse of that king is laid in a coffin east in the city of Oslo. Now earth grows over the prince’s bones in lofty Hallvardskirken.’
Sigurðr was the first Norw. king to be buried in Hallvardskirken (Hallvarðskirkja, the Church of S. Hallvarðr) in Oslo. See Ágr (ÍF 29, 51), Mork 1928-32, 400, Fsk (ÍF 29, 321), MsonaHkr (ÍF 28, 276).
