attestation: The sons of Eirík Slagbrellir were Harald Ungi, Magnus Mangi, and Rögnvald; King Magnus Erling's son gave Harald Ungi the title of Earl and half the Islands that had belonged to the holy Earl Rögnvald, his mother's father.
"The sons of Eirík Slagbrellir were Harald Ungi, Magnus Mangi, and Rögnvald. The brothers went east to Norway to see King Magnus, Erling's son, and he gave Harald the title of Earl, and one half of the Islands, which had belonged to the holy Earl Rögnvald, his mother's father."
attestation: Harald Ungi came with Sigurd Murt and Lífólf his brother-in-law to claim half of Caithness from King William of Scots, who granted it; but Harald the elder refused absolutely to divide his dominions.
"Earl Harald requested King William to give him the half of Caithness which Earl Rögnvald had held. The King granted him this; and Earl Harald went then down to Caithness, and gathered troops."
attestation: After Lífólf and Sigurd Murt fell, Earl Harald Ungi's men fled; Earl Ungi fell at some turf-pits and that night a great light was seen where his blood fell on the ground; people said he was a saint.
"When both were dead—Lífólf and Sigurd Murt—Earl Ungi's men fled. Earl Harald Ungi fell at some turf-pits,[454] and that very night a great light was seen where his blood fell on the ground. People said he was truly a saint, and there is now a church where he fell."
attestation: Earl Harald Ungi was buried in Caithness; innumerable miracles were granted through his merits, and people said he wished to go to Orkney to kinsmen Earl Magnus and Earl Rögnvald.
"He is buried in Ness (Caithness). Innumerable miracles are by God granted through his merits, which testify that he wished to go to Orkney to his kinsmen Earl Magnus and Earl Rögnvald."
