Risu við vísa        vestan komnum
Þrœndr ok Mœrir,        þeirs þrifum níttu.
Brugðusk hǫlðar        í huga sínum
mennsku mildum        Magnúss syni.

Þrœndr ok Mœrir, þeirs níttu þrifum, risu við vísa vestan komnum. Hǫlðar brugðusk í huga sínum {syni Magnúss}, mildum mennsku.

The Þrœndir and the Mœrir, who rejected their well-being, rose against the ruler who had arrived from the west. Men deserted in their mind {the son of Magnús} [= Sigurðr], abounding in human virtues.

Mss: Mork(33v) (Mork); F(71rb)

Readings: [3] Þrœndr: Þrœndir F

Editions: Skj AI, 497, Skj BI, 469, Skald I, 230; Mork 1867, 210, Mork 1928-32, 419, Andersson and Gade 2000, 376, 491 (Sslemb); F 1871, 328 (MbHg).

Context: Sigurðr stayed away from Norway because he lacked support, especially in Trøndelag and Møre.

Notes: [All]: According to the prose texts, Sigurðr first went to Orkney (or the Hebrides) and then returned to Norway. Because of the opposition against him, he was forced to leave Norway for a second time. See Mork 1928-32, 415, Hkr (ÍF 28, 309) and Andersson and Gade 2000, 50-1.
