- Translated transcription: Of all the weapons, however, it is the spear which becomes Vébjörg’s favourite and she quickly becomes skilful in casting the slender weapon on the right arc towards the target.
Without a thought Haraldr takes a stance by the wall of the barn and holds out his cap as target for her cast, which never misses. Both of them become happy and excited in the game. and the young girl is not untouched by her foster-brother’s flattering confidence in her ability in the difficult sport. These are harsh times and skill in handling weapons is necessary for everyone.
For few, however, will this ability have as much significance as for Vébjörg and legend will preserve for later ages her weapon’s shine and honour as reflected in the mind of passing generations.
Her daring deeds will live while many another proud memory is faded and wiped away off the tablet of history.
