Harald's Expedition
To Scotland
Vestrferð Haralds Konungs
Haraldr konungr spurði,
at víða um mitt landit herjuðu víkingar, þeir er á vetrum váru fyrir vestan
haf. Hann hafði þá leiðangr úti hvert sumar ok kannaði eyjar ok útsker;
en hvar sem víkingar urðu varir við her hans, þá flýðu allir ok flestir
á haf út. En er konungi leiddisk þetta, þá varð þat á einu sumri, at Haraldr
konungr sigldi með her sinn vestr um haf; kom hann fyrst við Hjaltland,
ok drap þar alla víkinga þá er eigi flýðu undan. Síðan sigldi hann suðr
til Orkneyja ok hreinsaði þar alt af víkingum. Eptir þat ferr hann alt
í Suðreyjar ok herjar þar; hann drap þar marga víkinga, þá er fyrir liði
réðu áðr. Hann átti þar margar orrostur ok hafði jafnan sigr. Þá herjaði
hann á Skotland ok átti þar orrostu. En er hann kom vestr í Mön, þá höfðu
þeir áðr spurt hvern hernað Haraldr konungr hafði gørt fyrrum þar í landit;
þá flýði alt fólk inn á Skotland, ok var þar aleyða af mönnum; braut var
ok flutt alt fé þat er mátti; en er þeir Haraldr konungr gengu á land,
þá fengu þeir ekki herfang. Í þessum orrostum féll Ívarr, sonr Rögnvalds
Mœrajarls. En í bœtr þess gaf Haraldr konungr Rögnvaldi jarli, er hann
sigldi vestan, Orkneyjar ok Hjaltland, en Rögnvaldr gaf þegar Sigurði
bróður sínum bæði löndin, ok var hann vestr eptir. Þá er konungr sigldi
austr, gaf hann Sigurði jarldóm. Þá kom til lags við hann Þorsteinn rauðr
sonr Ólafs hvíta ok Auðar hinnar djúpúðgu; þeir herjuðu á Skotland ok
eignuðusk Katanes ok Suðrland alt til Ekkjalsbakka. Sigurðr jarl drap
Melbrigða tönn, jarl skozkan, ok batt höfuð hans við slagálar sér, ok
laust kvikvavöðvanum sínum á tönnina er skagði ór höfðinu; kom þar í blástr,
ok fekk hann þar af bana, ok er hann heygðr á Ekkjalsbakka.
