As soon as Earl Hakon heard the king had gone north he returned
immediately in summer to the Uplands (A.D. 1063), and remained there
until the king had returned from the north. Then the earl went east
into Vermaland, where he remained during the winter, and where the king,
Steinkel, gave him fiefs. For a short time in winter he went west to
Raumarike with a great troop of men from Gautland and Vermaland, and
received the scat and duties from the Upland people which belonged to
him, and then returned to Glutland, and remained there till spring. King
Harald had his seat in Oslo all winter (A.D. 1064), and sent his men to
the Uplands to demand the scat, together with the king's land dues, and
the mulcts of court; but the Uplanders said they would pay all the scat
and dues which they had to pay, to Earl Hakon as long as he was in life,
and had forfeited his life or his fief; and the king got no dues that
winter.
