There was good peace maintained in Norway in the first years of the
government of Harald's sons; and as long as their old counsellors were
alive, there was some kind of unanimity among them. While Inge and
Sigurd were in their childhood, they had a court together; but Eystein,
who was come to age of discretion, had a court for himself. But when
Inge's and Sigurd's counsellors were dead,--namely, Sadagyrd Bardson,
Ottar Birting, Amunde Gyrdson, Thjostolf Alason, Ogmund Svipter, and
Ogmund Denger, a brother of Erling Skakke (Erling was not much looked
up to while Ogmund lived),--the two kings, Inge and Sigurd divided their
courts. King Inge then got great assistance from Gregorius Dagson, a son
of Dag Eilifson by Ragnhild a daughter of Skapte Ogmundson. Gregorius
had much property, and was himself a thriving, sagacious man. He
presided in the governing the country under King Inge, and the king
allowed him to manage his property for him according to his own
judgment.
