Auðun put aside money for his journey to Iceland and travelled at once in Summertime to Iceland and was said to be a most fortunate man

this Naðu -  Alan, it seemed in the books to relate to the word snake or adder, and that seemed daft so I left it, I could not find anything more appropriate, in the Barnes Books which I prefer, I could not find móti and  í friði I actually thought of more as - in freedom for Varði I really preferred "set aside" it related to the man's method and honesty
