Their brother Ingild sent messengers to beg a truce, on pretence of his ill-health.

Harald granted his request, that his own valour, which had learnt to spare distress, might not triumph over a man in the hour of lowliness and dejection.

When Ingild afterwards provoked Harald by wrongfully ravishing his sister, Harald vexed him with long and indecisive war, but then took him into his friendship, thinking it better to have him for ally than for enemy.
After this he heard that Olaf, King of the Thronds, had to fight with the maidens Stikla and Rusila for the kingdom.

Much angered at this arrogance on the part of women, he went to Olaf unobserved, put on dress which concealed the length of his teeth, and attacked the maidens.

He overthrew them both, leaving to two harbours a name akin to theirs.
