2. OF THE EARLS OF ORKNEY.

A year or two after King Magnus Barefoot's fall, Hakon, a son of Earl

Paul, came from Orkney. The kings gave him the earldom and government

of the Orkney Islands, as the earls before him, his father Paul or

his Uncle Erland, had possessed it; and Earl Hakon then sailed back

immediately to Orkney.
