followers of Harald: Blend (Blaeng?), the dweller
in furthest Thule, (1) and Brand, whose surname was Crumb (Bitling?).
Allied with these were Thorguy, with Thorwig, Tatar (Teit), and Hialte.
These men voyaged to Leire with bodies armed for war; but they were also
mighty in excellence of wit, and their trained courage matched their
great stature; for they had skill in discharging arrows both from bow
and catapult, and at fighting their foe as they commonly did, man to
man; and also at readily stringing together verse in the speech of their
country: so zealously had they trained mind and body alike. Now out of
Leire came Hortar (Hjort) and Borrhy (Borgar or Borgny), and also Belgi
and Beigad, to whom were added Bari and Toli. Now out of the town of
Sle, under the captains Hetha (Heid) and Wisna, with Hakon Cut-cheek
came Tummi the Sailmaker. On these captains, who had the bodies of
women, nature bestowed the souls of men. Webiorg was also inspired with
the same spirit, and was attended by Bo (Bui) Bramason and Brat the

the Frisian, Ari the One-eyed, and Alf Gotar. Next in the count came Dal
the Fat and Duk the Sclav; Wisna, a woman, filled with sternness, and
a skilled warrior, was guarded by a band of Sclavs: her chief followers
were Barri and Gnizli. But the rest of the same company had their bodies
covered by little shields, and used very long swords and targets of
skiey hue, which, in time of war, they either cast behind their backs or
gave over to the baggage-bearers; while they cast away all protection to
their breasts, and exposed their bodies to every peril, offering battle
with drawn swords. The most illustrious of these were Tolkar and Ymi.
After these, Toki of the province of Wohin was conspicuous together with
Otrit surnamed the Young. Hetha, guarded by a retinue of very active
men, brought an armed company to the war, the chiefs of whom were Grim
and Grenzli; next to whom are named Geir the Livonian, Hame also and
Hunger, Humbli and Biari, bravest of the princes. These men often fought
duels successfully, and won famous victories far and wide.

The maidens I have named, in fighting as well as courteous array, led
their land-forces to the battle-field. Thus the Danish army mustered
company by company. There were seven kings, equal in spirit but
differing in allegiance, some defending Harald, and some Ring. Moreover,
the following went to th
