CHAPTER XCIV.

OF FLOSI THORD'S SON.

There was a man named Flosi, he was the son of Thord Freyspriest. Flosi

had to wife Steinvora, daughter of Hall of the Side. She was base born,

and her mother's name was Solvora, daughter of Herjolf the white. Flosi

dwelt at Swinefell, and was a mighty chief. He was tall of stature, and

strong withal, the most forward and boldest of men. His brother's name

was Starkad; he was not by the same mother as Flosi.

The other brothers of Flosi were Thorgeir and Stein, Kolbein and Egil.

Hildigunna was the name of the daughter of Starkad Flosi's brother. She

was a proud, high-spirited maiden, and one of the fairest of women. She

was so skilful with her hands, that few women were equally skilful. She

was the grimmest and hardest-hearted of all women; but still a woman of

open hand and heart when any fitting call was made upon her.
