ing Inge came up
soon after, and killed many of the men who had taken part with Hakon;
made some pay heavy fines, burnt the houses of some, and some he drove
out of the country, or treated otherwise very ill. Hakon fled at first
up to Gautland with all his men; but the winter after (A.D. 1159), he
proceeded by the upper road to Throndhjem, and came there before Easter.
The Throndhjem people received him well, for they had always served
under that shield. It is said that the Throndhjem people took Hakon
as king, on the terms that he should have from Inge the third part of
Norway as his paternal heritage. King Inge and Gregorius were in Viken,
and Gregorius wanted to make an expedition against the party in the
north; but it came to nothing that winter, as many dissuaded from it.

4. FALL OF GYRD AND HAVARD.

King Hakon left Throndhjem in spring with thirty ships nearly; and some
of his men sailed before the rest with seven ships, and plundered in
North and South More. No man could remember that there ever before had
been plundering between the two towns (Bergen and Nidaros). Jon the son
of Halkel Huk collected the bondes in arms, and proceeded against them;
took Kolbein Ode prisoner, killed every woman's son of them in his ship.
Then they searched for the others, found them all assembled in seven
ships, and fought with them; but his father Halkel not coming to his
assistance as he had promised, many good bondes were killed, and Jon
himself was wounded. Hakon proceeded south to Bergen with his forces;
but when he came to Stiornvelta, he heard that King Inge and Gregorius
had arrived a few nights before from the east at Bergen, and therefore
he did not venture to steer thither. They sailed the outer course
southwards past Bergen, and met three ships of King Inge's fleet, which
had been outsailed on the voyage from the east. On board of them were
Gyrd Amundason, King Inge's foster-brother, who was married to Gyrid
a sister of Gregorius, and also lagman Gyrd Gunhildson, and Havard
Klining. King Hakon had Gyrd Amundason and Havard Klining put to death;
but took lagman Gyrd southwards, and then proceeded east to Viken.

5. OF THE CONSULTATIONS OF KING INGE.

When King Inge heard of this he sailed east after them, and they met
east in the Gaut river. King Inge went up the north arm of the river,
and sent out spies to get news of Hakon and his fleet; but he himself
landed at Hising, and waited for his spies. Now wh
