Note 16 — 116 ADAM BELL, CLIM OF THE CLOUGH, AND WILLIAM OF CLOUDESLY
Reading edition
In the prose Hemings Ðáttr, the intent to take vengeance appears from Hemingr’s wish that the king should stand close to the mark; in the ballads he reserves an arrow. In the Ólafs Saga, Eindriði openly announces his purpose; in all but this version (treating the prose Hemings Ðáttr and the ballads as one), the archer provides himself with two arrows, or three.
