The The Life and Death of Cormac the Skald (Kormáks saga) on Thorvald the Tinker
Life And Death Of Cormac The Skald
attestation: Cormac visited Steingerd at Svinadal in Thorvald's chamber and sat on the dais beside her; Narfi urged Thorvald to act but Thorvald initially saw no harm done.
"Now Thorvald the Tinker lived in the north-country at Svinadal (Swindale), but his brother Thorvard at Fliot. In the winter Cormac took his way northward to see Steingerd; and coming to Svinadal he dismounted and went into the chamber. She was sitting on the dais, and he took his seat beside her"
attestation: After the Permia campaign Thorvald fitted out his ship for Denmark with Steingerd; pirates under Thorstein son of Asmund Ashenside robbed Thorvald and carried off Steingerd.
"Thorvald the Tinker fitted out his ship for a cruise to Denmark, and Steingerd sailed with him. A little afterwards the brothers set out on the same voyage, and late one evening they made the Brenneyjar. There they saw Thorvald's ship riding, and found him aboard with part of his crew; but they had been robbed of all their goods, and Steingerd had been carried off by Vikings."
attestation: Thorvald offered Steingerd to Cormac after the rescue, saying Cormac had fairly won her; but Steingerd refused to go with Cormac, saying she would not 'change knives'.
"Thorvald bade Steingerd to go, at last, along with Cormac, for he had fairly won her, and manfully. That was what he, too, desired, said Cormac; but "Nay," said Steingerd, "she would not change knives.""
