notes

[1] Stórverkr: Lit. ‘one of great deeds’. He may be the same as Stórvirkr, son of Starkaðr Áludrengr and father of Starkaðr inn gamli ‘the Old’ in Gautreks saga (Gautr 1900, 12-15, 25, 27; see also Introduction to StarkSt VíkVIII and Note to StarkSt Vík 24/5-6VIII) and in Saxo (Saxo 2005, I, 6, 5, 1, pp. 380-1). In Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks (FSN I, 412 n. 3) he is the father of Starkaðr Áludrengr. The name is also recorded in Allra flagða þula (see Introduction), but other than in StarkSt Vík 24/6VIII (in that verse by emendation from ‘Sörverkzson’) it does not occur in poetry.
