53. RECONCILIATION OF KING HARALD AND KALF.

Kalf Arnason had been on a viking cruise to the Western countries ever

since he had left Norway; but in winter he was often in the Orkney

Islands with his relative, Earl Thorfin. Fin Arnason sent a message to

his brother Kalf, and told him the agreement which he had made with King

Harald, that Kalf should enjoy safety in Norway, and his estates, and

all the fiefs he had held from King Magnus. When this message came to

Kalf he immediately got ready for his voyage, and went east to Norway to

his brother Fin. Then Fin obtained the king's peace for Kalf, and when

Kalf and the king met they went into the agreement which Fin and the

king had settled upon before. Kalf bound himself to the king in the same

way as he had bound himself to serve King Magnus, according to which

Kalf should do all that the king desired and considered of advantage

to his realm. Thereupon Kalf received all the estates and fiefs he had

before.
