2. KING HAKON'S PROGRESS THROUGH THE COUNTRY.

Early in winter (935), the king went to the Uplands, and summoned the

people to a Thing; and there streamed all to him who could come. He was

proclaimed king at every Thing; and then he proceeded eastward to Viken,

where his brother's sons, Trygve and Gudrod, and many others, came

unto him, and complained of the sorrow and evil his brother Eirik had

wrought. The hatred to King Eirik grew more and more, the more liking

all men took to King Hakon; and they got more boldness to say what they

thought. King Hakon gave Trygve and Gudrod the title of kings, and the

dominions which King Harald had bestowed on their fathers. Trygve got

Ranrike and Vingulmark, and Gudrod, Vestfold; but as they were young,

and in the years of childhood, he appointed able men to rule the land

for them. He gave them the country on the same conditions as it had been

given before,--that they should have half of the scat and revenues with

him. Towards spring King Hakon returned north, over the Uplands, to

Throndhjem.
