56. OF GUTHORM GUNHILDSON.

Ketil Kalf and Gunhild of Ringanes had a son called Guthorm, and he was

a sister's son to King Olaf and Harald Sigurdson. Guthorm was a gallant

man, early advanced to manhood. He was often with King Harald, who loved

him much, and asked his advice; for he was of good understanding, and

very popular. Guthorm had also been engaged early in forays, and had

marauded much in the Western countries with a large force. Ireland was

for him a land of peace; and he had his winter quarters often in Dublin,

and was in great friendship with King Margad.
