Chapter 32
King Harald and
His Mother
Eptir
þessi tíðendi fara þeir Haraldr, þar til er þeir kómu í stöðvar Gorms
konungs síð um aptan, ok gengu þeir alvápnaðir til konungs bœjar; ok er
þat sumra manna sögn, þeirra er fróðir eru, at Haraldr leitaði sér ráðs,
ok þóttisk eigi vita allgørla, hversu hann skyldi atorkask, at segja föður
sínum þessi tíðendi, fyrir þá sök at Gormr konúngr hafði þess heitstrengt,
at hann skyldi þess manns bani verða, er honum segði líflát Knúts sonar
síns. Haraldr sendir nú fóstbróður sinn, þann er Haukr er nefndr, á fund
Þyri móður sinnar, ok bar henni til orð, at hún fengi þat ráð nakkvat
tilgefit, er hann gæti ráðit ór þessum vanda. Lítils síðar kømr Haraldr
sjálfr á fund móður sinnar, ok segir henni þessi tíðendi, ok leitar ráða
við hana; en hon réð honum þat ráð, at hann skyldi sjálfr fara á fund
föður síns, ok segja honum þau tíðendi, at haukar tveir höfðu barzk, ok
væri annarr alhvítr, en annarr grár, ok væri þó báðir gersimar, en svá
lyki með þeim, at enn hvíti fengi bana, ok þótti þat skaði mikill. Ok
nú eptir þetta gengr araldr í braut til liðs síns, ok vánu bráðara ferr
hann til hallar föður síns, þar sem hann drakk inni með hirð sinni, ok
var konungrinn undir borðum ok hirðin. Síðan gengr Haraldr inn fyrir föður
sinn í höllina, ok segir honum síðan ífrá haukunum, svá sem móðir hans
hafði honum ráð tilkennt, ok lauk svá málinu, at "nú er dauðr"
segir hann, "enn hvíti haukrinn"; ok er hann hafði þat mælt,
þá kvað hann ekki annat orð, ok fór þá enn á fund móður sinnar.
