Note 279 — XXXIX MILITARY ENGINES
Laurence Marcellus Larson translation
Captain Blom is disposed to look on the brynklungr as an imaginary device (Aarböger for nordisk Oldkyndighed, 1867, 106) but Falk finds that some such instrument was in use in Italy as early as the tenth century (Altnordische Waffenkunde, 199-200).
