GunnLeif Merl I 33VIII/1 — brezkum ‘the British’

‘Hníga fyr brezkum         bragninga kon
siklingar sjau,         sigri numnir.
Ok heilagr verðr         herja deilir
einn af enskum         ǫðlingum sjau.

‘Sjau siklingar, numnir sigri, hníga fyr brezkum kon bragninga. Ok deilir herja, einn af sjau enskum ǫðlingum, verðr heilagr.

‘Seven kings, deprived of victory, will fall before the British scion of kings [KING = Caduallo]. And the commander of armies [LEADER = S. Oswald], one of the seven English lords, will become a saint.
