29 The Armament of Eirik’s Sons
After Gamle’s death King Harald, Eirik’s son, was the chief of the brothers, and he had a great army with him from Denmark. In their army were also their mother’s brothers,—Eyvind Skreyja, and Alf Askman, both strong and able men, and great man slayers. The sons of Eirik brought up with their ships off the island, and it is said that their force was not less than six to one,—so much stronger in men were Eirik’s sons.
