13. OF KING HARALD GILLE AND BISHOP MAGNUS.

King Harald Gille was a very generous man. It is told that in his time

Magnus Einarson came from Iceland to be consecrated a bishop, and the

king received him well, and showed him much respect. When the bishop was

ready to sail for Iceland again, and the ship was rigged out for sea, he

went to the hall where the king was drinking, saluted him politely and

warmly, and the king received him joyfully. The queen was sitting beside

the king.
