cheer of the common folk. So the tale goes, that Unn was a woman both
tall and portly. She walked at a quick step out along the hall, and
people could not help saying to each other how stately the lady was
yet. They feasted that evening till they thought it time to go to bed.
But the day after Olaf went to the sleeping bower of Unn, his
grandmother, and when he came into the chamber there was Unn sitting
up against her pillow, and she was dead. Olaf went into the hall after
that and told these tidings. Every one thought it a wonderful thing,
how Unn had upheld her dignity to the day of her death. So they now
drank together Olaf's wedding and Unn's funeral honours, and the last
day of the feast Unn was carried to the howe (burial mound) that was

Bork the Stout, and Thorgrim, father of Snori the Priest. Helga was
another daughter of Olaf; she was the wife of Gunnar Hlifarson; their
daughter was Jofrid, whom Thorodd, son of Tongue-Odd, had for wife,
and afterwards Thorstein, Egil's son. Thorunn was the name of yet one
of his daughters. She was the wife of Herstein, son of Thorkell
Blund-Ketill's son. Thordis was the name of a third daughter of Olaf:
she was the wife of Thorarin, the Speaker-at-Law, brother of Ragi. At
that time, when Olaf was living at Hvamm, Koll o' Dales, his
