Now they all rode off, and when they were somewhat on their way, Grettir spake "I have heard that thou hast will to go to Burgfirth this summer, and I now offer to go south with thee; and methinks that herein I do for thee more than thou art worthy of." Hereat was Bardi glad, and speedily said yea thereto, and bade him have thanks for this; and thereupon they parted.
I claim my right: it is not fair that the work of my brain and my hands should not be a monument to me it is not just that my labour should bear the name of another man. It is but little to ask," the old man went on, bitterly, "that my name should be over the door that men should own themselves debtors to the Bardi Library in Florence.
Goodwife Thorgerd also egged them on eagerly to make an earnest of their journey, and said she should never look upon Kjartan as avenged until Bolli paid for him with his life. After this they got ready for the journey. In this raid there were the four sons of Olaf and the fifth was Bardi. There were the sons of Olaf, Halldor, Steinthor, Helgi, and Hoskuld, but Bardi was Gudmund's son.
Guido plucked him a little apart, and whispered him hurriedly. "This is Simone of the Bardi, a very notable soldier," he said. I heard Dante answer him very calmly. "Were he a very notable devil, I would stand to him enough."

Hall, the son of Gudmund, was not in Iceland then. Bardi took up their bidding gladly, for there was much love between those kinsmen. Bardi rode west from the Thing with the sons of Olaf.
But against that robbery Bardo de' Bardi shall struggle though blind and forsaken, he shall struggle.

A citizen of Bruges was always at the head of the Hanseatic League, and maintained the rights of that vast commercial society under the title of 'Comte de la Hanse. Merchant princes, members of the Hanse, lived here in palaces. Money-changers grew rich. Edward III. borrowed from the Bardi at Bruges on the security of the Crown jewels of England.
But I want you to leave Audun in peace, for he is a quiet man." Grettir said he was willing to do so because of Bardi's intercession, though he did not like it much. Bardi asked what they were contending about. Grettir replied in a verse: "I know not if for all your pride he may not try your throat to squeeze. Thus when within my home I dwelt did he once belabour me."
