And another ship belonged to Hallfred the Trouble-Bard. The third ship belonged to two brothers, one named Bjarni, and the other Thorhall; they were sons of Broad-river-Skeggi, out of Fleetlithe in the east. All these men had wanted to go west to Iceland that summer, but the king had forbidden all these ships to sail because the Icelanders would not take the new faith that he was preaching.
It is the tale of most men that Kjartan on the day he laid aside his white baptismal-robes became a liegeman of the king's, he and Bolli both. Hallfred was not baptized that day, for he made it a point that the king himself should be his godfather, so the king put it off till the next day. Every one said that there had never before come from Iceland such a man as Kjartan.
Kjartan with his following and Bolli went to the church; in that train was also Hallfred and many other Icelanders. "For the king said, so that we might hear, that this night was born the Lord, in whom we are now to believe, if we do as the king bids us."
