There was a man named Flosi, he was the son of Thord Freyspriest
(1). 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 (2);
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.
