Chapter 7 – (The) Death of Unnr


Ólafur feilan var yngstur barna Þorsteins. Hann var mikill maður og sterkur,
Olafr Feolan was (the) youngest child of Thorsteinn. He was a tall man and strong,

fríður sýnum og atgervimaður (atgörvimaðr) hinn mesti. Hann mat (meta) Unnur umfram alla menn og
handsome in appearance and the most accomplished-man. Unnr valued him above all men (persons) and

Hvammi. Unnur gerðist (görast) þá mjög ellimóð.
Hvammr. Unnr became then very weary-eith-age.


Hún kallar til sín Ólaf feilan og mælti: "Það hefir (hafa) mér komið (koma) í hug frændi
She calls to her Olafr Feolan and spoke: ’That has come to me in mind, kinsman,

að þú munir (munu) staðfesta ráð þitt og kvænast."
that you would (should) establish yourself (see staðfesta ráð sitt, under staðfesta, Z2) and take-a-wife.’


Ólafur tók (taka) því vel og kveðst (kveðast) hennar forsjá hlíta mundu (munu) um það mál.
Olafr receiced that well and declared-of-himself (ie that he) would trust her forsight concerning that matter.


Unnur mælti: "Svo hefi eg helst (helzt) ætlað að boð þitt muni vera að áliðnu sumri þessu
Unnr spoke: ‘Thus have I intended most-of-all that your wedding-feast will be at (the end of) (thanks Brian!) this summer

Olafr answers: ‘This is well spoken. But (And) that woman alone I intend to get (by marriage) that

Það sama haust fékk (fá) Ólafur feilan Álfdísar. Þeirra boð var í Hvammi. Unnur
That same autumn Olafr Feolan got (by marriage) Alfdis. Their wedding-feast was at Hvammr. Unnr
