Note 201 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
This account of the first expedition of Magnus is taken from the Heimskringla, Saga 11, c. 9, 10, 11. Chron. Man. 1098. Chron. Sax. 1098. From his partiality to the costume of the Islesmen, he obtained the name of Magnus Barefoot. The later Scottish Chroniclers assert that the cession of the Isles was the price of the assistance of Magnus, which placed Donald Bane upon the throne. He must have been resuscitated from the grave.
