Hi Patricia,

Those are terms out of laws.

til-mæli: request, demand

"þykir": consider or think: conceive in mind

svo illt: so evil/bad

hafa sakarGiftir :(accuse someone of committing a crime; see  charge )

have founded accusations

bring up by Hrút/in court.

The think is that their "samfarar" matters are still unknown publically.

They do not unite .

Thanks Uoden.

I feel that Hrútr loves the Queen as she is sensual,

but Unnur is arranged and not possibly not so carnal or worldly.
