The Marriage Of
Eirík And Gunnhild
Eiríkr
Haraldsson var at fóstri með Þóri hersi Hróaldssyni í Fjörðum; honum unni
Haraldr konungr mest sona sinna ok virði hann mest. Þá er Eiríkr var tólf
vetra gamall, gaf Haraldr konungr honum fimm langskip, ok fór hann í hernaði;
fyrst í Austrveg, ok dvaldisk í þeiri ferð fjóra vetr. Eptir þat fór hann
vestr um haf ok herjaði um Skotland ok Bretland, Írland ok Valland, ok
dvaldisk þar aðra fjóra vetr. Eptir þat fór hann norðr á Finnmörk ok alt
til Bjarmalands, ok átti þar orrostu mikla ok hafði sigr. Þá er hann kom
aptr á Finnmörk, þá fundu menn hans í gamma einum konu, þá er þeir höfðu
enga sét jafnvæna. Hon nefndisk fyrir þeim Gunnhildr, ok sagði at faðir
hennar bjó á Hálogalandi, er hét Ösurr toti. "Ek hefi hér verit til
þess," segir hon, "at nema kunnostu at Finnum tveim, er hér
eru fróðastir á Mörkinni; nú eru þeir farnir á veiðar, en báðir þeir vilja
eiga mik, ok báðir eru þeir svá vísir, at þeir rekja spor sem hundar,
bæði á þá ok á hjarni; þeir kunna ok svá vel á skíðum, at ekki má forðask
þá, hvárki menn né dýr, en hvatki er þeir skjóta til, þá hœfa þeir. Svá
hafa þeir fyrirkomit hverjum manni, er hér hefir komit í nánd, ok ef þeir
verða reiðir, þá snýsk jörð um fyrir sjónum þeira, en ef nökkut kvikt
verðr fyrir sjónum þeira, þá fellr þat dautt niðr. Nú meguð þér fyrir
engan mun verða á veg þeira, nema ek fela yðr hér í gammanum; skuluð þér
þá freista, ef vér fáim drepit þá."
