I told her of good Bishop Elfheah and his death, and many more things, and yet she said: "I think you have been over long in seeking her. And she has been in hiding for four years past!"

We would not speak to these men, knowing that from Thorkel's folk we should but hear boasting of Swein's victories.
This large sum of money was conveyed to Olaf Triggvison by the king's ambassadors, among whom was a certain Bishop Elfheah a zealous Christian, who, in addition to gaining Olaf's solemn promise that he would keep the peace, took upon himself the task of converting the young chief to the Christian faith.
