41. OF EINAR TAMBASKELFER.

Einar Tambaskelfer was the most powerful lenderman in the Throndhjem

land. There was but little friendship between him and King Harald,

although Einar retained all the fiefs he had held while Magnus the Good

lived. Einar had many large estates, and was married to Bergliot, a

daughter of Earl Hakon, as related above. Their son Eindride was grown

up, and married to Sigrid, a daughter of Ketil Kalf and Gunhild, King

Harald's sister's daughter. Eindride had inherited the beauty of his

mother's father, Earl Hakon, and his sons; and in size and strength

he took after his father, Einar, and also in all bodily perfections by

which Einar had been distinguished above other men. He was, also, as

well as his father, the most popular of men, which the sagas, indeed,

show sufficiently.
