tta, and Thorer
Hund turned against Dag, with the array which had followed them, and
then Dag was overwhelmed with numbers; so he betook himself to flight
with the men still left him. There was a valley through which the main
body of the fugitives fled, and men lay scattered in heaps on both
sides; and many were severely wounded, and many so fatigued that they
were fit for nothing. The bondes pursued only a short way; for their
leaders soon returned back to the field of battle, where they had their
friends and relations to look after.

242. KING OLAF'S MIRACLE SHOWN TO THORER HUND.

Thorer Hund went to where King Olaf's body lay, took care of it, laid
it straight out on the ground, and spread a cloak over it. He told since
that when he wiped the blood from the face it was very beautiful; and
there was red in the cheeks, as if he only slept, and even much clearer
than when he was in life. The king's blood came on Thorer's hand, and

came to be generally known among the people; and Thorer Hund was among
the first of the king's powerful opponents who endeavoured to spread
abroad the king's sanctity.

Kalf Arnason searched for his brothers who had fallen, and found

wanted to kill him, giving him hard words, and calling him a faithless
villain, and a traitor to his king. Kalf did not regard it, but ordered
Fin and Thorberg to be carried away from the field. When their wounds
were examined they were found not to be deadly, and they had fallen from
fatigue, and under the weight of their weapons. Thereafter Kalf tried to
bring his brothers down to a ship, and went himself with them. As
soon as he was gone the whole bonde-army, having their homes in the
neighbourhood, went off also, excepting those who had friends or
relations to look after, or the bodies of the slain to take care of. The
wounded were taken home to the farms, so that every house was full of
them; and tents were erected over some. But wonderful as was the number
collected in the bonde-army, no less wonderful was the haste with which
this vast body was dispersed when it was once free; and the cause of
this was, that the most of the people gathe
