Bertric gave away the bride, as the friend of Hakon, who was her guardian; and after the wedding in the old Norse way, Phelim blessed us after the manner of the new faith which he and his had taught us to love, though he might not do more for us, as yet unbaptized.
Thereafter was feasting and rejoicing enough to please all, if the notice had been short; and then Bertric must go his way, promising to see us again as soon as might be.

So we watched the ship pass down the fjord and into the narrow seaward channel, and he waved to us, and we to him, and the men cheered for Hakon, and so we turned back to the new life of peace that lay before us.
There was not much fighting ere Hakon came to the throne in earnest.

Eric fled the land as man after man rose for his rival, and at last took to the Viking path, and thereafter made friends with Athelstane of England, and held Northumbria for him as under-king.

So he troubled Norway no more.
But for the spreading of the new faith Hakon would have had no man against him; but therein he had unrest enough.

Maybe it was to be expected, as he went to work with too high a hand in that matter in his zeal; for here we had no trouble.
