“Now Hlöd became very angry at being called a bondwoman’s child and a bastard if he accepted his brother’s offer; he went away with all his men to Húnaland to Humli, his mother’s father, and told him that his brother Angantýr had offered him a third of the realm, Humli heard all they had spoken, and was very angry that his daughter’s son Hlöd should be called the son of a bondwoman. He said:—
“We shall sit this winter
And live happily,
Drain and talk over
The costly drink,
Teach the Húnar
To make their weapons ready
Which we boldly
Shall bear forth.
Well shall we, Hlöd,
