152 Saga-Book of the <strong>Viking</strong> <strong>Society</strong> other hand, tried to show that it was composed in honour of Magnus the Good in 1046.20 There can be no question of proof in such a matter but Alexander Bugge demonstrated so many similarities of diction between the poem and the verse of the scalds of that time, especially that by Arn6r J:>6r
Kattar Sonr 153 have the reply about kattar sonr. It seems probable, but it cannot of course be certain, that this ultimately comes from the account Stiifr himself gave of his visit to Norway. If this seems plausible, we must conclude that it offers evidence that HH I was composed by some older contemporary of Stufr - just as Alexander Bugge attempted to demonstrate. But if the anecdote of the meeting between King Harald and Sttifr is a story-teller's invention, then it only shows that the HH [ is older than the pattr. The Morkinskinna compilation is reckoned to be from c. 1200; the independent pattr must be somewhat older. Another small problem of literary history is related to the episode in the Heioaruiga saga in which Snorri g05i sets the cat - his foster-son or possibly his son - on the boy whose father has just been killed. lJor5r kottr would not respond to the urging that time. In the Laxdcela saga lJor5r kottr is with the other sons of Gu5nin Osvifrsdottir when they take vengeance for the death of Bolli; here the "avenger" is supposed to be the twelve-year old Bolli Bollason. The man who is killed is Helgi Harribeinsson : his small son, Harobein, ran out of the house, and lJor5r kottr was on the spot and meant to cut him down at once - but Bolli came up and said the boy was not to be harmed. Harobein was saved - and no more is heard of him in the saga. 21 The episode in the H eioaroiga saga is referred to the year 1008, and then lJor5r kottr could not have been more than fourteen or fifteen years old. According to the chronology of the Laxdcela saga, as set out in the Fornrit edition.w Gu5nin's first marriage was in 989; she was divorced and remarried, which must have taken a few years, and lJor5r was the son of her second marriage, born after his father's death. He must thus in fact have been quite a youngster in 1008, so that the remark attributed to Snorri in H eirJarviga saga - ungr skal at ungum vega - is " Laxdcela saga, ch, 64. 22 Einar 61. Sveinsson, Laxdcela saga (I934), Iix.
