he gathered folk, and spake to the
queen moreover: "New war is come upon our realm; and now, in whatso wise
the dealings go, fain am I that thy ways to me grow no colder."

She said: "In such wise have matters gone that I must needs let thee be
the highest."

Now was Biorn come from the east to help Frithiof; so they fared to the
fight, and it befell, as ever erst, that Frithiof was the foremost in
the peril: King Helgi and he came to handy-blows, and there he slew King
Helgi.

Then bade Frithiof raise up the Shield of Peace, and the battle was
stayed; and therewith he cried to King Halfdan: "Two choices are in
thine hands now, either that thou give up all to my will, or else
gettest thou thy bane like thy brother; for now may men see that mine is
the better part."

So Halfdan chose to lay himself and his realm under Frithiof's sway;
and so now Frithiof became ruler over Sogn-folk, and Halfdan was to be
Hersir in Sogn and pay Frithiof tribute, while Frithiof ruled Ringrealm.
So Frithiof had the name of King of Sogn-folk from the time that he gave
up Ringrealm to the sons of King Ring, and thereafter he won Hordaland
also. He and Ingibiorg had two sons, called Gunnthiof and Hunthiof, men
of might, both of them.

AND SO HERE ENDETH THE STORY OF FRITHIOF THE BOLD.
