[91] The hardest conflict then commenced. Many fell onboth sides, but more of the Scotch, as Sturlas sings. 18. Where cuirasses rung, our generous youths, formed in a circle, prostrated the illustrious givers of bracelets. The birds of prey were gluttonously filled with lifeless limbs. What great chieftain shall avenge the fate of the renowned wearer of the Belt? During the battle there was so great a tempest that King Haco saw nopossibility of bringing the army ashore. Ronald, and Eili...f ofNaustadale, however, with some men, rowed to land, and greatlydistinguished themselves; as did those troops who had before gone outin their boats. Ronald, in the end, was repulsed to his ships; butEilif behaved most heroically. The Norwegians now began to formthemselves anew; and the Scotch took possession of the rising ground. There were continued skirmishes with stones and missile weapons; buttowards evening the Norwegians made a desperate charge against theScotch on the hill, as is here recorded.
