The Sons of Ragnar
Hear of His Death
Enn
er synir Ragnars höfðu herjat of Suðr-ríki, þá snøru þeir á Norðrlönd,
ok ætluðu at vitja ríkis síns, þess er Ragnarr réð fyrir, en þeir vissu
eigi herför hans, hversu hon hafði orðit, ok þó er þeim mikil forvitni
á, hversu orðit hafði.
Nú berr svá til, at þeir
koma fyrr í Danaveldi enn sendimenn Ellu konungs, ok sitja nú kyrrir með
lið sitt. Enn snedimenn koma með lið sitt til þeirar borgar, er synir
Ragnars þiggja veizlu, ok ganga í þá höll, er þeir drekka; ok fyrir hásætit,
er Ívarr liggr í. Sigurðr ormr-í-auga ok Hvítserkr hvati sitja at hneftafli,
enn Björn járnsíða skefr spjótskepti á hallargólfinu. Ok er sendimenn
Ellu konungs koma fyrir Ívar, kveðja þeir hann virðuglega; enn hann tekr
kveðju þeira, ok spyrr, hvaðan þeir sé, eða hvat þeir segja tíðenda. Ok
sá, er fyrir þeim var, segir, at þeir vóru enskir menn, ok þá hefir Ella
konungr þangat senda með þau tíðendi, at segja fall Ragnars feðr þeira.
Hvítserkr ok Sigurðr láta þegar falla niðr taflit, ok hyggja at vandlega
þessi tíðenda sögn. Bjorn stendr á hallargólfinu, ok studdisk víð spjótskefti
sitt; enn Ívarr spurði þá vandlega, með hverjum atburð líflát hans hafði
verit. Enn þeir sögðu alt sem farit hafði þaðan frá, er hann kom við England
ok til þess, er hann lét líf sitt.
