And then they thought of Ironbeard's daughter, Gudrun, and of what a good thing it would be for them if the king could be made to wed her. So on a certain day they took Gudrun to where King Olaf was and made their proposals to him. King Olaf looked at the girl and thought her very fair of feature.

At the sight a madness rose in the boy's heart.
Flinging himself on his knees, he clasped Ironbeard's legs and poured out supplications. "Return!" he cried. "While there is yet time, return. Seek England, Gael-land, anywhere, but not this place. I see blood in the stream and blood on the strand. Our blood, your blood, my King! There is doom for the folk of Thorwald by this river!" The King's face did not change.
