7 Of the Battles of Iviza and Minorca
Thereafter King Sigurd proceeded on his expedition, and came to an island called Iviza (Ivica), and had there his seventh battle, and gained a victory. So says Haldor Skvaldre:—
“His ships at Ivica now ride,
The king’s, whose fame spreads far and wide;
And hear the bearers of the shield
Their arms again in battle wield.”
Thereafter King Sigurd came to an island called Manork (Minorca), and held there his eighth battle with heathen men, and gained the victory. So says Haldor Skvaldre:—
“On green Minorca’s plains
The eighth battle now he gains:
Again the heathen foe
Falls at the Norse king’s blow.”
