thers, and they had a talk together; and Freyvid asked
Emund: 'What mean ye to do if Olaf Ericsson is killed; what king will ye
have?'

Emund answered; 'Whosoever suits us best, whether of royal family or
not.'

Freyvid answered: 'We Up-Swedes will not that the kingdom in our days go
out of the family who from father to son have long held it, while such
good means may be taken to shun that as now can be. King Olaf has two
sons, and we will have one of them for king. There is, however, a great
difference between them; one is nobly born and Swedish on both sides,
the other is a bondwoman's son and half Wendish.'

At this decision there was great acclaim, and all would have Jacob for
king.

Then said Emund: 'You Up-Swedes have power to rule this for the time;
but I warn you that hereafter some of those who will not hear now of
anything else but that the kingdom of Sweden go in the royal line, will
themselves live to consent that the kingdom pass into other families,
and that will turn out better.'

After this the brothers Freyvid and Arnvid caused Jacob the King's son
to be led before the assembly, and there they gave him the title of
king, and therewith the Swedes gave him the name Onund, and henceforth
he was so called. He was then ten or twelve years old.

Then King Onund took to him guards, and chose chiefs with such force of
men about them as seemed needful; and he gave the common people of the
land leave to go home. Thereafter messengers passed between the kings,
and soon they met and made their agreement. Olaf was to be king over the
land while he lived; he was to hold to peace and agreement with the King
of Norway, as also with all those men who had been implicated in this
counsel. Onund was also to be king, and have so much of the land as
father and son might think fit; but was to be bound to follow the
landowners if King Olaf did any of those things which they would not
tolerate.

After this messengers went to Norway to seek King Olaf with this errand,
that he should come with a fleet to Konunga Hella (Kings' Stone) to meet
the Swedish king, and that the Swedish king wished that they should
there ratify their treaty. King Olaf was still, as before, desirous of
peace, and came with his fleet as proposed. The Swedish king also came,
and when father-in-law and son-in-law met, they bound them to agreement
and peace. Olaf the Swedish king showed him affable and gentle.
