216 HVERSU NOREGR BYGÐIST. Norr átti bardaga stóra fyri vestan Kjölu, ok féllu fyrir honum þeir konúngar, er svá heita: Vee ok Vei, Hundíngr ok Hemíngr, ok lagði Norr þat land undir sik allt til sjófar. þeir bræðr fundust í þeim firði, er nú er kallaðr Norafjörðr; Norr fór þaðan uppá Kjölu, ok kom þar, sem heita Úlfamóar; þaðan fór hann um Eystri-Dali, ok síðan í Verma- land, ok með vatni þvi, er Vænir heitir, ok svá til sjófar; þetta Iand allt lagði Norr undir sik, allt fyri vestan þessi takmörk; þetta land er nú kall- aðr Noregr. At miðjum vetri komu þeir í Heið- mörk; þar var sá konúngr fyrir, er Rólfr í Bergi liét; hann var sun Svaða jötuns norðan afDofrum, ok Áshildar, dóttur Eysteins konúngs, er lengi hafði ráðit fyrir Heiðmörk1. Rólfr í Bergi hafði tekit Gói, ok gengit at eiga hana; en er hon spurði til Nors, bróður síns, þá fór hon ímót honum, ok þau Rólfr, ok gaf hann sik upp í vald Nors, ok gerðist hans maðr. Eptir þat fór Norr til veizlu til mágs síns, ok fékk Norr Höddu, dóttur Svaða jötuns, systur Rólfs. Eptir þat fór Norr konúngr vestr aptr til sjófar', ok þá hitti hann Gor, bróður sinn; hann var þá kominn norðan or Dumbshafi2, ok hafði eignazt eyjar allar á þessari leið, bæði bygðar ok úbygðai'. þá skiptu þeir bræðr ríkinu með sér, svá at Norr skyldi hafa meginland allt quærebant; Norus ab regione Carinarum (Kjalir) in occidentem versá ingentia prælia fecit; ab eo ceci- derunt reges, quorum nomina Veus et Velus, Hundingus et Hemingus; hanc totam regionem ad mare usque Norus sibi subjecit. Fratres inter se convenerunt in sinu, qui nunc dicitur Norafjördus (Sinus Norius). Inde Norus in Carinas (Kjalir) adscendit, et pervenit in locum, Ulvamoos (Calles Luporum) dictum; inde profectus est per Valles Orientales, indeque in Vermiam delatus, secundum lacum, qui Væner dicitur, ad mare usque progressus est; hanc totam regionem, ab his limitibus in occidentem versam, Norus sibi subjecit; quæ lerra nunc Norvegia appellatur. Media hieme in Heidmarkam perve- nerunt; hic rex erat, diclus Rolvus in Bergo (bergensis); is filius erat Svadii, gigantis ex septemtrione a Dovris % et Ashildæ, filiæ regis Eysteini, qui diu Heidmarkæ imperaverat. Rolvus bergensis Goen rapuerat eamque matrimonio secum junxerat. Quæ de itinere Nori fratris certior facta, obviam ei pro- fecta est, comitata Rolvo marito, qui se in potestatem Nori dedidit eique subjectus evasit. Quo facto Norus ad affinem, convivio invitatus, se contulit, et Haddam, Svadii gigantis filiam, sororem Rolvi, in matrimonium duxit. Post hæc rex Norus iterum occidentem versus ad mare profectus, Gorum fratrem convenit, qui tum a septemtrione ex Mari Dumbensib advenerat, omnesque insulas in hoc itinere occur- rentes, tam habitatas, quam incultas, in potestatem suam redegerat. Tum fratres regnum inter se divi- serunt, ita, ut Norus totam continentem, quæ a Jötunheimis usque in septemtrione sitis meridiem versus 1) Hei.. . obscuré F. 2) obscuré, rectius Dumbshafi quam Dauðahafi. a) Le nom de Svaði jíitun mis cn rapport avec le Heiðmörk nous prouve clairement qu’une tradition locale est ici combinée avec la fiction de Nor. La contrée, oú ia grande maison appelée Berg est située dans le Hedemark, qui est aujourd’hui Ia paroisse de Ringsager, portait anciennement le nom de Svaðabú qui signifie le domicile de Svade. Les noms de Svade et de Svase s’emploient du reste l’un pour l’autre (voir Landnáma, IV, 7), et Svaði jötun du Dovre devient ainsi identique avec Svasi jötun le dovrien dont Harald á la belle chevelure épousa la fille Snæfride, et dont Snorre nous parle dans la saga du méme Harald (ch. 25), d’une telle maniére qu’il faut croire que I’auteur le suppose connu de tout le monde. C’est ainsi que Svase ou Svade parait comme !e patron de la province, dont on fait des- cendre Rolf de Berg, le plus ancien des hommes distingués du Heiðmörk et dont la fille Snæfride on fait étre mariée dix générations plus tard au véritable fondateur du royaume de la Norvége. Mais comme le nom de Svasabn peut aussi étre expliqué par hit svása bú, Ie séjour délicieux, dénomination qui convient tout-á-fait aux ravissantes con- trées de Ringsager, il y a assez de raisons pour émettre la conjecture que l'épithéte seulement descriptive a été employée plus tard comme la base d’une fable Iocale. La seule chose qui s’oppose á cette conjecture, c’est que Svasi ou Svaði s’écrit par un a bref tandis que sváss (goth. svés) de- mande un a long. b) Dumbshaf de Durnbr, un rocher prés de Vardohus auquel on donne aujourd’hui le nom de Domben.
