16. ELEVENTH, TWELFTH AND THIRTEENTH BATTLES.

Then King Olaf proceeded westwards to Grislupollar, and fought there

with vikings at Williamsby; and there also King Olaf gained the victory.

So says Sigvat:--

"The eleventh battle now I tell,

Where it was fought, and what befell.

At Grislupol our young fir's name

O'ertopped the forest trees in fame:

Brave Olaf's name--nought else was heard

But Olaf's name, and arm, and sword.

Of three great earls, I have heard say,

His sword crushed helm and head that day."
