    1. BEGINNING OF HAKON HERDEBREID.
    Hakon, King Sigurd's son, was chosen chief of the troop which had
    followed King Eystein, and his adherents gave him the title of
    king. He was ten years old. At that time he had with him
    Sigurd, a son of Halvard Hauld of Reyr, and Andreas and Onund,
    the sons of Simon, his foster-brothers, and many chiefs, friends
    of King Sigurd and King Eystein; and they went first up to
    Gautland. King Inge took possession of all the estates they had
    left behind, and declared them banished. Thereafter King Inge
    went to Viken, and was sometimes also in the north of the
    country. Gregorius Dagson was in Konungahella, where the danger
    was greatest, and had beside him a strong and handsome body of
    men, with which he defended the country.
