This pike at the mouth of the river Has paid the penalty For the slaughter inflicted on Heithrek, 'Neath the Mountains of Harvathi. Angantyr immediately perceived that it was Tyrfing, and went off at once to the wood and waited there till it was dark. And the fishermen rowed to the land, and went to a tent which they had, and lay down and went to sleep. And when it was close on midnight, Angantyr went up to them and pulled down the tent on top of the slaves and slew all nine of them, and carried off the sword Tyrfing as a sign that he had avenged his father. He then went home and had a great funeral feast held to his father's memory on the banks of the Dnieper, at a place called Arheimar. The kings who ruled at that time were as follows: Humli ruled the Huns, Gizur the Gautar, Angantyr the Goths, Valdar the Danes, Kjar the Gauls; Alrek the Bold ruled the English people. Hlˆth the son of King Heithrek was brought up at the court of King Humli, his grandfather. He was a very handsome and valiant man. There was an old saying at that time that a man was "born with weapons or horses." And the explanation is that it referred to the weapons which were being forged at the time when the man was born; also to any sheep, beasts, oxen and horses that were born about the same time. These were all given to high-born men as an honour to them, as is here related about Hlˆth the son of Heithrek: In the land of the Huns was Hˆlth born In a holy forest glade, With ring-bedizened helmet, With dagger and keen-edged blade, With byrnie and with broadsword, And noble prancing steed. Then Hlˆth learnt of the death of his father, and also that his brother Angantyr had been made King over all the territory which their father had held. Then King Humli and Hlˆth resolved that Hlˆth should go and request his brother Angantyr to allow him a share of his father's property, and that he should try first by fair words--as is said here: Hlˆth, the heir of Heithrek, Came riding from the East, To where Angantyr was holding King Heithrek's funeral feast. He came to his court in Arheimar Where the Gothic people dwell, Demanding his share of the heritage left By the King when he journeyed to Hell. Hlˆth now arrived in Arheimar with a great host as it says here: He found a warrior hastening Towards the lofty hall; And unto this late traveller Did Hlˆth his greeting call: O man, make haste to enter This hall that towers so high! Bid Angantyr speed, For great is the need We hold a colloquy. The men entered and went up to Angantyr's table and saluted the King, saying: Hlˆth, thy warlike brother, King Heithrek's valiant heir, Has sent me hither to thee, And bidden me declare That he wishes to hold converse; And though he be young indeed, Yet he looks a mighty champion, Seated high upon his steed.
