44. OF KING MAGNUS ERLINGSON.

King Magnus then returned to Tunsberg, and got great renown by this

victory; for it had been an expression in the mouths of all, that Earl

Erling was the shield and support of his son and himself. But after

gaining a victory over so strong and numerous a force with fewer troops,

King Magnus was considered by all as surpassing other leaders, and that

he would become a warrior as much greater than his father, Earl Erling,

as he was younger.
