After Olaf Trygvason's fall, Earl Eirik gave peace to Einar
Tambaskelfer, the son of Eindride Styrkarson; and Einar went north with
the earl to Norway. It is said that Einar was the strongest man and the
best archer that ever was in Norway. His shooting was sharp beyond all
others; for with a blunt arrow he shot through a raw, soft ox-hide,
hanging over a beam. He was better than any man at running on
snow-shoes, was a great man at all exercises, was of high family, and
rich. The earls Eirik and Svein married their sister Bergliot to Einar.
Their son was named Eindride. The earls gave Einar great fiefs in
Orkadal, so that he was one of the most powerful and able men in the
Throndhjem country, and was also a great friend of the earls, and a
great support and aid to them.
