7. OF THE BATTLES OF IVIZA AND MINORCA.

Thereafter King Sigurd proceeded on his expedition, and came to an

island called Iviza (Ivica), and had there his seventh battle, and

gained a victory. So says Haldor Skvaldre:--

"His ships at Ivica now ride,

The king's, whose fame spreads far and wide;

And hear the bearers of the shield

Their arms again in battle wield."

Thereafter King Sigurd came to an island called Manork (Minorca), and

held there his eighth battle with heathen men, and gained the victory.

So says Haldor Skvaldre:--

"On green Minorca's plains

The eighth battle now he gains:

Again the heathen foe

Falls at the Norse king's blow."
