25. OF KING MAGNUS.

The kings Magnus and Harald both ruled in Norway the winter after their

agreement (A.D. 1047), and each had his court. In winter they went

around the Upland country in guest-quarters; and sometimes they were

both together, sometimes each was for himself. They went all the way

north to Throndhjem, to the town of Nidaros. King Magnus had taken

special care of the holy remains of King Olaf after he came to the

country; had the hair and nails clipped every twelve month, and kept

himself the keys that opened the shrine. Many miracles were worked by

King Olaf's holy remains. It was not long before there was a breach

in the good understanding between the two kings, as many were so

mischievous as to promote discord between them.
