255. OF EINAR TAMBASKELFER.

Einar Tambaskelfer was come home from England to his farm, and had the

fiefs which King Canute had given him when they met in Throndhjem, and

which were almost an earldom. Einar had not been in the strife against

King Olaf, and congratulated himself upon it. He remembered that King

Canute had promised him the earldom over Norway, and at the same time

remembered that King Canute had not kept his promise. He was accordingly

the first great person who looked upon King Olaf as a saint.
