Haralds Reply
To Athelstan
Annat
sumar eptir sendi Haraldr konungr skip vestr til Englands, ok fekk til
stýrimann Hauk hábrók. Hann var kappi mikill ok hinn kærsti konungi. Hann
fekk í hönd honum Hákon son sinn. Haukr fór þá vestr til Englands á fund
Aðalsteins konungs ok fann hann í Lundúnum; þar var þá boð fyrir ok veizla
virðulig. Haukr segir sínum mönnum, þá er þeir koma at höllinni, hvernug
þeir skulu hátta inngöngunni; segir, at sá skal síðast út ganga er fyrstr
gengr inn, ok allir standa jafnfram fyrir borðinu, ok hverr þeira hafa
sverð á vinstri hlíð ok festa svá yfirhöfnina at eigi sjái sverðit. Síðan
ganga þeir í höllina; þeir váru þrír tigir manna. Gekk Haukr fyrir konung
ok kvaddi hann. Konungr biðr hann vel kominn. Þá tók Haukr sveininn ok
setr á kné Aðalsteini konungi. Konungr sér á sveininn, ok spyrr Hauk hví
hann ferr svá. Haukr svarar: "Haraldr konungr bað þik fóstra honum
ambáttar barn." Konungr varð reiðr mjök ok greip til sverðs, er var
hjá honum, ok brá, svá sem hann vildi drepa sveininn. Haukr mælti: "Knésett
hefir þú hann nú, ok máttu myrða hann ef þú vill, enn ekki mantu með því
eyða öllum sonum Haralds konungs." Gekk Haukr síðan út ok allir hans
menn; ok fara leið sína til skips ok halda í haf er þeir eru at því búnir,
ok kómu aptr til Noregs á fund Haralds konungs, ok líkaði honum nú vel,
því at þat er mál manna, at sá væri útignari er öðrum fóstraði barn.
