Note (return) — Chapter VII

Ragnvald Gudrodson forthwith collected a great army in Ireland and the Sudreys and invaded Caithness,42 and, meeting Harold Maddadson in battle at Dalharrold,43 where the River Naver issues from the loch, drove him northwards down the strath to the coast, whence he escaped to Orkney. The Saga says simply that Harold stayed in Orkney, and this location of the battle near Achness rests solely on tradition, which, however, in the Highlands, is often a solid enough foundation.
