King Magnus, after he was deprived of sight, went north to Nidaros,
where he went into the cloister on the holm, and assumed the monk's
dress. The cloister received the farm of Great Hernes in Frosta for his
support. King Harald alone ruled the country the following winter, gave
all men peace and pardon who desired it, and took many of the men into
his court-service who had been with King Magnus. Einar Skulason says
that King Harald had two battles in Denmark; the one at Hvedn Isle, and
the other at Hlesey Isle:--
"Unwearied champion! who wast bred
To stain thy blue-edged weapons red!
Beneath high Hvedn's rocky shore,
The faithless felt thy steel once more."
