2. KING HARALD OVERCOMES FIVE KINGS.

After the battle King Harald and Guthorm turned back, and went with all

the men they could gather through the forests towards the Uplands. They

found out where the Upland kings had appointed their meeting-place, and

came there about the time of midnight, without the watchmen observing

them until their army was before the door of the house in which Hogne

Karuson was, as well as that in which Gudbrand slept. They set fire to

both houses; but King Eystein's two sons slipped out with their men, and

fought for a while, until both Hogne and Frode fell. After the fall of

these four chiefs, King Harald, by his relation Guthorm's success and

powers, subdued Hedemark, Ringerike, Gudbrandsdal, Hadeland, Thoten,

Raumarike, and the whole northern part of Vingulmark. King Harald and

Guthorm had thereafter war with King Gandalf, and fought several battles

with him; and in the last of them King Gandalf was slain, and King

Harald took the whole of his kingdom as far south as the river Raum.
