Chapter 34
King Halfdan's
Dream
Hálfdan
konung dreymdi aldri; honum þótti þat undarligt, ok bar þat fyrir þann
mann, er nefndr er Þorleifr hinn spaki, ok leitaði rápa, hvat at því mundi
mega gøra. Þorleifr sagði, hvat hann gørði, ef hann forvitnaði at vita
nökkurn hlut, at hann fœri í svínabœli at sofa, ok brásk honum þá eigi
draumr. Ok konungr gørði þat, ok birtisk honum draumr þessi. Honum sýndisk,
at hann væri allra manna bezt hærðr, ok var hár hans alt í lokkum, sumir
síðir til jarðar, sumir i miðjan legg, sumir á kné, sumir í mjöðm, sumir
á miðja síðu, sumir á háls, en sumir ekki meir en sprotnir upp ór hausi
sem knýflar. En á lokkum hans var hvers kyns litr, en einn lokkr sigraði
alla með ljósleik ok fegrð ok mikilleik. Þorleifi sagði hann þann draum,
en hann þýddi svá, at mikill afspringr mundi af honum koma, ok mundi sá
löndum ráða með miklum veg, ok þó eigi allir með jarnmiklum, en einn mundi
sá af hans ætt koma, at öllum mundi meiri ok œðri. Ok hafa menn þat fyrir
satt, at sá lokkr jartegndi Ólaf konung hinn helga. Hálfdan konungr var
vitr maðr ok sannindamaðr ok jafnaðar, ok setti lög, ok hélt sjálfr ok
lét aðra halda, svá at eigi mætti ofsi steypa lögunum. Hann gørði ok sjálfr
saktal ok skipaði bótum hverjum eptir sínum burð ok metorðum. Ragnhildr
dróttning ól son, var sá vatni ausinn ok nefndr Haraldr; hann var brátt
mikill ok hinn fríðasti. Óx hann þar upp ok gørðist brátt íþróttamaðr
mikill ok vel viti borinn. Móðir hans unni honum mikit, en faðir hans
minna.
