Chapter 29
Ragnar's Sons
Avenge Their Father
Ok
er synir Ragnars konungs spyrja þessi tiðendi, þá fara þeir vestr til
Englands, ok berjask við Ellu konung; ok af því at Ívarr vildi eigi berjask
ok ekki hans fólk, enn landherrinn var drjúgr, þá fengu þeir ósigr, ok
fóru við svá búit heim til Danmarkar. Enn Ívarr var eftir í Englandi,
ok fór á fund Ellu konungs, ok beiddisk af honum bóta fyrir föður sinn.
Ok fyrir því at Ella konungr sá, at Ívarr vildi eigi berjask með brœðrum
sínum í móti honum, þá þótti honum trúlegt at gøra sætt við hann. Ívarr
bað konung gefa honum svá mikit af landi í föðurgjöld, sem hann breiddi
yfir ena mestu öldungshúð, því at hann segir sér eigi vel munu frítt at
fara heim fyrir brœðrum sínum. Ellu þótti þetta eigi ótrúlegt, ok bundu
þeir með þessu sætt sína. Tekr Ívarr nú húðina hráblauta, ok lætr þenja
sem mest; ok síðan lætr hann rísta húðina í enn mjóvasta streng, ok klýfr
síðan sér hvárt hárram ok holdrosu; síðan lætr hann draga um einn sléttan
völl, ok marka þar um utan grundvöll: hann reisir þar á sterka borgarveggi,
ok er sú borg nú kölluð Jórvík. Hann vingaðisk við alt landsfólk, ok mest
við höfðingja, ok svá kom, at allir höfðingjar hétu honum trúnaði ok brœðrum
hans. Síðan sendir hann boð til brœðra sinna, ok segir, at þá er meiri
ván at þeir megi hefna föður síns, ef þeir koma með her til Englands.
