Thus beginneth the tale, telling how that King Beli ruled over
Sogn-land; three children had he, whereof Helgi was his first son,
and Halfdan his second, but Ingibiorg his daughter. Ingibiorg was
fair of face and wise of mind, and she was ever accounted the
foremost of the king's children. Now a certain strand went west of
the firth, and a great stead was thereon, which was called Baldur's
Meads; a Place of Peace was there, and a great temple, and round
about it a great garth of pales: many gods were there, but amidst
them all was Baldur held of most account. So jealous were the
heathen men of this stead, that they would have no hurt done
therein to man nor beast, nor might any man have dealings with a
woman there. Sowstrand was the name of that stead whereas the king
dwelt; but on the other side the firth was an abode named Foreness,
where dwelt a man called Thorstein, the son of Viking; and his
stead was over against the king's dwelling. Thorstein had a son by
his wife called Frithiof: he was the tallest and strongest of men,
and more furnished of all prowess than any other man, even from his
youth up. Frithiof the Bold was he called, and so well beloved was
he, that all prayed for good things for him.
