ABSTRACT

HERE I must not neglect to tell how, on the advice of the Swedish king, Erik the Eloquent, who will be referred to later on, 2 Arngrim, a famous Swedish champion, fought against the northern kings of Scricfinnia and Biarmia and triumphed over them. As a result he became the son-in-law of King Frothi of Denmark, for by his achievements he had added the utmost bounds of mankind to Frothi’s dominions and by the extraordinary fame of his exploits had extended the king’s renown, spreading it far and wide throughout the world. According to Saxo, his wife Ofura bore him twelve sons, who from their youth upwards applied themselves to the business of piracy.
