Note Footnote 1: — PART I

This story, like the last, is taken from the long Saga of Olaf Tryggvason contained in the Flateyjarbók, Vol. i, pp. 275-283. Its connection, however, with the story of that King is of the slightest. According to the opinion of Finnur Jónsson1 the story in its present form dates from the first half of the fourteenth century.
