38. OF ULF USPAKSON.

Ulf Uspakson stood in great esteem with King Harald; for he was a man

of great understanding, clever in conversation, active and brave, and

withal true and sincere. King Harald made Ulf his marshal, and married

him to Jorun, Thorberg's daughter, a sister of Harald's wife, Thora. Ulf

and Jorun's children were Joan the Strong of Rasvol, and Brigida, mother

of Sauda-Ulf, who was father of Peter Byrdar-Svein, father of Ulf

Fly and Sigrid. Joan the Strong's son was Erlend Himalde, father of

Archbishop Eystein and his brothers. King Harald gave Ulf the marshal

the rights of a lenderman and a fief of twelve marks income, besides a

half-district in the Throndhjem land. Of this Stein Herdison speaks in

his song about Ulf.
