73. JARNSKEGGE OR IRON BEARD.

There was a great bonde called Skegge, and sometimes Jarnskegge, or

Iron Beard, who dwelt in Uphaug in Yrjar. He spoke first at the Thing

to Olaf; and was the foremost man of the bondes in speaking against

Christianity. The Thing was concluded in this way for that time,--the

bondes returned home, and the king went to Hlader.
