Sótti síðan Sigurðr ór eyjum

Síðan sótti dýrr Sigurðr ór eyjum Dávíð konung at rôðum. {Bani Vilhjalms}, {fleinþinga}samr, vas með vísa fimm misseri.
Then splendid Sigurðr went from the isles to seek counsel from King David. {The slayer of Vilhjálmr} [= Sigurðr], eager {for spear-assemblies} [BATTLES], stayed with the ruler for five winters.

Context: After the slaying of Þorkell, Sigurðr was banished from Orkney, and he joined King David of Scotland.
Notes: [All]: David I ruled Scotland from 1124 until his death in 1153. It is not clear exactly when Sigurðr spent these five years with him, and the prose versions differ in their accounts. According to Mork, he was in Orkney before he went on his pilgrimage to Rome and Jerusalem (sts 8-9). Hkr (ÍF 28, 297-8) places his stay in Orkney after the pilgrimage, and Orkn (ÍF 34, 115) states that he stayed in Scotland prior to his arrival in Orkney and prior to the slaying of Þorkell fóstri (st. 2 above), which took place c. 1127-8 (see ÍF 34, lxxxv). — [6] bani Vilhjalms ‘the slayer of Vilhjálmr [= Sigurðr]’: Vilhjálmr skinnari ‘the Tanner’ was a Norw. district chieftain who is mentioned in st. 27 below.
