The Heimskringla on Bue the Thick

Heimskringla > The Chronicle Of The Kings Of Norway > 39. Vow Of The Jomsborg Vikings.

• attestation: Bue the Thick vowed to join the Norway expedition and not flinch as long as the other Jomsborg vikings fought.

  "Then Bue the Thick vowed to follow them to Norway, and not flinch so long as the other Jomsborg vikings fought."

Heimskringla > The Chronicle Of The Kings Of Norway > 42. Of The Jomsborg Vikings.

• attestation: A bonde taunted Bue's men for driving cattle instead of pursuing the 'bear' (Earl Hakon), revealing the earl was nearby in Hjorundarfjord with only one to three ships.

  "The peasant replies, "The earl went yesterday into the Hjorundarfjord with one or two ships, certainly not more than three, and then he had no news about you.""

• attestation: Bue immediately abandoned all booty and rushed to his ships; Earl Sigvalde and the whole fleet then rowed north around Hod Island.

  "Bue ran now with his people in all haste down to the ships, leaving all the booty behind."
