The following summer a meeting of the kings was agreed upon at Konghelle
on the Gaut river; and King Magnus, the Swedish king, Inge, and the
Danish king, Eirik Sveinson, all met there, after giving each other safe
conduct to the meeting. Now when the Thing had sat down the kings went
forward upon the plain, apart from the rest of the people, and they
talked with each other a little while. Then they returned to their
people, and a treaty was brought about, by which each should possess the
dominions his forefathers had held before him; but each should make good
to his own men the waste and manslaughter suffered by them, and then
they should agree between themselves about settling this with each
other. King Magnus should marry King Inge's daughter Margaret, who
afterwards was called Peace-offering. This was proclaimed to the people;
and thus, within a little hour, the greatest enemies were made the best
of friends.
It was observed by the people that none had ever seen men with more
of the air of chiefs than these had. King Inge was the largest and
stoutest, and, from his age, of the most dignified appearance. King
Magnus appeared the most gallant and brisk, and King Eirik the most
handsome. But they were all handsome men; stout, gallant, and ready in
speech. After this was settled they parted.
