Harald Wins Norway
Orrosta í Hafrsfirði
Tíðendi þau spurðust sunnan
ór landi, at Hörðar ok Rygir ok Egðir ok Þilir söfnuðusk saman ok gørðu
uppreist, bæði at skipum ok vápnum ok fjölmenni; váru þeir upphafsmenn
Eiríkr Hörðalands konungr, Súlki konungr af Rogalandi ok Sóti jarl bróðir
hans, Kjötvi hinn auðgi, konungr af Ögðum, ok Þórir haklangr son hans;
af Þelamörk brœðr tveir, Hróaldr hryggr ok Haddr hinn harði. En er Haraldr
konungr varð þessa tíðinda víss, þá dró hann her saman ok skaut skipum
á vatn; bjósk síðan með lið mikit ok ferr með landi suðr, ok hafði mart
manna af hverju fylki. En er hann kømr suðr um Stað, þá spyrr þat Eiríkr
konungr; hafði hann þá ok saman komit því liði, er honum var ván; ferr
hann þá suðr í móti því liði, er hann vissi at austan mundi koma til fulltings
við hann. Mœttisk þá herrinn allr fyrir norðan Jaðar, ok leggja þá inn
til Hafrsfjarðar. Þar lá fyrir Haraldr konungr með her sinn; teksk þar
þegar orrosta mikil, var bæði hörð ok löng; en at lyktum varð þat, at
Haraldr konungr hafði sigr, en þar féllu þeir Eiríkr konungr ok Súlki
konungr ok Sóti jarl bróðir hans. Þórir haklangr hafði lagt skip sitt
í móti skipi Haralds konungs, ok var Þórir berserkr mikill; var þar allhörð
atsókn áðr Þórir haklangr féll; var þá hroðit alt skip hans; þá flýði
Kjötvi konungr í hólma nökkurn, þar er vígi var gott. Síðan flýði alt
lið þeira, sumt á skipum, en sumt hljóp á land upp, ok svá hit efra suðr
um Jaðar.
Haraldr konungr verðr einvaldi
at Noregi
Eptir
orrostu þessa fekk Haraldr konungr enga mótstöðu í Noregi; váru þá fallnir
allir hinir mestu fjándmenn hans; en sumir flýðu ór landi, ok var þá bygðisk
Jamtaland ok Helsingjaland; ok var þó áðr hvárttveggja nökkut bygt af
Norðmönnum.
Í þeim úfriði, er Haraldr
konungr gekk til lands í Noregi, þá fundusk ok bygðusk útlönd: Færeyjar
ok Ísland; þá var ok mikil ferð til Hjaltlands, ok margir ríkismenn af
Noregi flýðu útlaga fyrir Haraldi konungi ok fóru í vestrvíking, váru
í Orkneyjum ok Suðreyjum á vetrum, en á sumrum herjuðu þeir í Noreg ok
gørðu þar mikinn landskaða. Margir váru þeir ok ríkismenn, er gengu til
handa Haraldi konungi ok gørðusk hans menn ok bygðu lönd með honum.
