More about Fridlef

¹HE also overcame twelve Norwegian champions, even though they were famous for their victories over giants, celebrated for the trophies that they had taken from tribes, and rich in spoils, since they used to plague their neighbours with frequent incursions. He was led to do this not from covetousness so much as from his eager love of virtue. There was also a certain Hiarni, a rival for the kingship, who, under pretext of close friendship and a great show of allegiance, keenly sought to waylay Fridlef and to take his life; however, he was detected in his bath when Fridlef recognized him by the many, shocking scars he bore. They met in single combat and Fridlef slew him. ¹
