HARALD GREYFELL AND BROTHERS.
Eric's sons, four or five of them, with a Harald at the top, now at once got Norway in hand, all of it but Trondhjem, as king and under-kings; and made a severe time of it for those who had been, or seemed to be, their enemies.

Excellent Jarl Sigurd, always so useful to Hakon and his country, was killed by them; and they came to repent that before very long.

The slain Sigurd left a son, Hakon, as Jarl, who became famous in the northern world by and by.

This Hakon, and him only, would the Trondhjemers accept as sovereign.
