[110] Slange relates that "they were all shot and cut down except two." But in this respect he merits less credence than Kruse or the Sagas. Slange says also that "one of the prisoners was a glazier, who established himself in Norway and died there; while the other was sent to Scotland." This is also related in the Sagas; but that the latter was sent home "to tell his countrymen how it happened," is doubtless an addition made by Slange himself. To illustrate in how distorted a manner many of the later historians describe the incident at Kringlen, it may be mentioned as an example, among several others, that Fred. Sneedorff, in his lectures on the "History of the Fatherland," vol. ii., p. 106, and later even, Werlauff in the fourth edition, p. 191, of Munthe's "Pictures of Life," which he edited, perverted the account given by Slange to the effect that "one of the Scots established himself in the country as a glazier," by stating that he "established glass-works in Norway." [111] Hjorthöi calls him Ingebrikt Sörvold, but neither that name nor that of Ingebrikt Valde is to be found in Gram's Census. On the other hand, Oluff and Knud Valde are mentioned as tenants.

M.] [116] He is called Otter in Gram's Census. [117] The name also occurs in Gram's Census. [118] No one of that name is mentioned in Gram's Census. [119] [The identical money-holster is now in the possession of Mr. J. Heftye. See illustration at p. 118.--T. M.] [120] In 1612 the church stood nearer to the post, but it was later removed, owing to the encroachments of the river. At that time also the old church-yard at Qvam ceased to be used. [When the present highroad was constructed the post was replaced by a large stone slab, inscribed:-- [Illustration: (A Christian Cross)] Here was the Leader of the Scots, GEORGE SINCLAIR, Buried after he had fallen at Kringelen, the 26th August 1612.--T. M.] [121] This post was set up in 1789 by a couple of Bönder after an older one had been destroyed by the inundation.--N. H. C. Bloch's "Observations on a Journey from Trondhjem to Christiania, in 1806," p. 26. [The tablet is now in the possession of Mr. J. Heftye. An illustration of it is given here.--T. M.] [122] "1612, the 24th August." [123] "900 Scots were beaten here by an inferior force of 300 Bönder from Lessö, Vaage, Froen, and Ringebo parishes." [124] "When, in July (the 15th) 1733, the king was graciously pleased to travel past this place to Trondhjem."
