Brodir.—It has been suggested that this was not his real name. He was Ospak's brother, and Brodir may have been mistaken for a proper name. There was a Danish Viking named Gutring, who was an apostate deacon, and who may have been the Brodir of Irish history.
Baptism.—Burnt Njal, ii. 332.
Combat.—Wars of the Gaedhil, p. 157.
