"Death to him, then," said the sons of Eric, but only in secret, till they had got their hands free and were ready; which was not yet for some years.

Nay, Hakon, when actually attacked, made good resistance, and threatened to cause trouble.

Nor did he by any means get his death from these sons of Eric at this time, or till long afterwards at all, from one of their kin, as it chanced.

On the contrary, he fled to Denmark now, and by and by managed to come back, to their cost.
Among their other chief victims were two cousins of their own, Tryggve and Gudrod, who had been honest under-kings to the late head-king, Hakon the Good; but were now become suspect, and had to fight for their lives, and lose them in a tragic manner.

Tryggve had a son, whom we shall hear of.
