Chapter XLII The Miracle-Working of Magnus the Martyr
Soon after this a heavenly light was seen above his burial-place. Then men who were placed in danger began to pray to him, and their prayers were heard. A heavenly odour was frequently perceived above his burial-place, from which people suffering from illness received health. Then sufferers made pilgrimages thither both from the Orkneys and Hjaltland, and kept vigils at his grave, and were cured of all their sufferings.303 But people dared not make this known while Earl Hákon was alive.
It is said of the men who were most guilty in the murder of the holy Earl Magnus that most of them met with a miserable death.
