Anon Nkt 32II/1 — Sveinn ‘Sveinn’

Þá réð Sveinn
sonr Alfífu
snáka stríð
sex fyr landi,
áðr * Knúts sonr
af konungdómi
vinalauss
varð at flýja.

Þá réð Sveinn, sonr Alfífu, fyr landi sex stríð snáka, áðr * sonr Knúts varð at flýja vinalauss af konungdómi.

Then Sveinn, the son of Ælfgifu, ruled the country for six distresses of snakes [WINTERS], before Knútr’s son [= Sveinn] had to flee friendless from the kingdom.
