Here the beasts met him, and he thrust one through with a spear, and caught the other by the throat, wrung its neck, and choked it.

Thus he had the maiden as the prize of the peril he had overcome.

By this marriage he had two daughters, whose names have not come down to us, and a son Fridleif.

Then he lived three years at peace.
The Jutlanders, a presumptuous race, thinking that because of his recent marriage he would never return, took the Skanians into alliance, and tried to attack the Zealanders, who preserved the most zealous and affectionate loyalty towards Ragnar.

He, when he heard of it, equipped thirty ships, and, the winds favouring his voyage, crushed the Skanians, who ventured to fight, near the stead of Whiteby, and when the winter was over he fought successfully with the Jutlanders who dwelt near the Liim-fjord in that region.
