Ok Magnús
á Mœri norðr
fremðargjarn
felldi Hôkon.
Sá vas vinsæll
vígðri moldu

Ok Magnús, fremðargjarn, felldi Hôkon norðr á Mœri. Sá vinsæll ræsir vas hulðr vígðri moldu í Raumsdali.
And Magnús, eager for fame, killed Hákon north in Møre. That popular prince was covered by hallowed soil in Romsdalen.

Notes: [All]: Hákon was killed at the battle of Sekken in Romsdalsfjorden against Erlingr skakki and Magnús Erlingsson (on 7 July 1162). He was buried in Romsdalen, but King Sverrir later had his body moved to Kristkirken in Trondheim. See MErlHkr (ÍF 28, 383). — [5] sá ... vas ‘that ... was’: Kock (NN §2120) omits sá ‘that’ to create a trisyllabic l. But because both sá and vas stand in anacrusis, this emendation is unnecessary from a metrical point of view.
