Kolbein.—No friend of the king, you meant to say.
Kolbein Kaldaljos.—Broddi has taken a stand at Vidiness with two hundred men. It seems he will order his troop there in battle array.
Botolf (to KOLBEIN THE YOUNG).—Your father's brother, Kolbein, fell at Vidiness, the same perchance may betide you.
Kolbein Kaldaljos.—Pledge a truce to me on behalf of my son Brand and his fellows.
Kolbein.—Brand holds no truce!
Kolbein Kaldaljos.—If you intend to slay my son you will find that Broddi and his men will stand between you and Brand for this once.
Kolbein.—Hear you, bishop, will you forbear aiding Brand and Broddi, if I now depart?
Botolf.—Never!
Kolbein.—Then shall I make the see at Holar even with the ground, as soon as I return.
Haf (entering hurriedly).—Broddi Thorleifsson has arranged his men in fighting order at Vidiness, and now they are advancing this way in battle array. I let our men mount their horses.
