Note (return) — Chapter V
Reading edition
The date of the succession of Paul and Erlend to the Norse jarldom3 was, as we have seen, after 1057. Possibly in 1059, or certainly not later than 1064 or 1065, Ingibjorg, Thorfinn's widow, as by Norse law widows alone had the right to do, "gave herself away" to the Scot-King Malcolm III, known as Malcolm Canmore.4
