Swede, were by him well received. Thus saith Thord
Kolbeinson:

'Foemen of robbers! swiftly can fate cause change,
Brief space 'fore the treason of men did Hakon to death,
And to the land erewhile taken by the fighter in battle
Came now the son of Tryggvi, faring from the west.
More in his mind had Eirik against his lord and King
Than can now be spoken of, as might be thought of him.
In wrath sought the Earl counsel of the King of the Swedes
(Stubborn are the folk of Throndhjem, ne'er one will flee).'

|| Now the name of a certain man from Vik was Lodin, and he possessed
much wealth and was come of a goodly lineage. Often fared he as a
merchant, but upon occasion as a viking. Now it befell one summer that
Lodin, to whom appertained the ship, wherein was a fair cargo, did set
sail eastward with merchandise that was his, and after making Estland
spent he the summer there in the places where the fairs were held. Now
the while a fair happeneth are many kinds of goods thither brought to it
for sale, & likewise come many thralls, and among them as it befell in
this wise one day saw Lodin a woman, who when he looked on her perceived
he her to be Astrid, the daughter of Eirik whom King Tryggvi had had to
wife. Now indeed was she unlike what she had been when he had aforetime
seen her, for pale was she, and wasted, and poorly clad; but went he up
to her & asked her about herself, and she answered: 'Sad is it to relate
that have I been sold for a slave, & yet again am I brought hither for
sale.' Thereafter did they recognize one another, & Astrid knew well all
about him and she besought him to buy her & take her back to her kin.
'I will make a bargain with thee on this matter,' said he, 'I will bear
thee home with me to Norway if thou wilt wed me.'

So Astrid being in such dire straits and knowing him full well to be a
man that was brave & had many possessions, yea and moreover goodly
lineage, plighted she him her troth so that she might be set free. Thus
it came to pass that Lodin bought Astrid, and bare her away home even
unto Norway, and wedded her there with the goodwill of her kinsfolk. The
children she bare to him were Thorkel Nefia, Ingirid, and Ingigerd;
while the daughters of Astrid by King Tryggvi were Ingibiorg and Astrid.

The sons of Eirik Biodaskalli were Sigurd Carles-head, Jostein, and
Thorkel Dydril; all these were noble & wealthy, and to them pertained
manors in the east of the country.
