Pull, the ancient Apulia or Puglia, in Italy, on the opposite shore of the Adriatic from Dyrachium. Apulia had been under the dominion of its Norman dukes from the middle of the eleventh century, and this may have been the reason why the route homewards through Apulia was chosen both by Sigurd the Jorsala-farer and Earl Rögnvald. Footnote 389: Hákon Herdabreid (the broad-shouldered) became King in 1161. (For an account of his death, and that of King Ingi and Gregorius Dagson, see the sagas of the sons of Harald Gilli and Hákon Herdabreid, in the Heimskringla.) Footnote 390: Near Bergen. Footnote 391: Viken, in the south of Norway. Footnote 392: Bishop’s-tongues, a district lying between three rivers in the south of Iceland, also mentioned in the Njáls Saga. Footnote 393: See note on p. 21. Footnote 394: One of the MS. copies of the saga has “Rögnvaldzeyiar.” Footnote 395: Harald Hardradi, son of Sigurd Syr, who was slain in the battle of Stamford Bridge. See p. 47. Footnote 396: See the account of her elopement with Earl Erlend Ungi in chap. xcii., and of her relations with Gunni, Olaf’s son, chap. lxxxvii. Footnote 397: This was Malcolm the Maiden, the grandson, and not the son, of King David I. Footnote 398: Malcolm the Maiden. Footnote 399: Malcolm the Maiden was twelve years old when he came to the throne. Perhaps the Saga-writer meant that he had then been nine winters king. Footnote 400: The Mull of Deerness, or Moulhead of Deerness, as it is called in the maps, in the north-east of the Mainland, Orkney. Footnote 401: Skeggbjarnarstad was probably a homestead on Skebro Head, in Rousay. The old form of Skebro Head might be Skeggbjarnarhöfdi. Footnote 402: Hofsness, probably Huipness, the most northerly point of Stronsay. Footnote 403: Kjarekstad.—Munch identifies this place with the modern Karston or Careston, which lies on the inlet leading to the Loch of Stennis, a little to the north-east of Stromness. But this would make Arni, Rafn’s son, run a good ten miles without once remembering that he had his shield on his shoulder until it stuck in the door at Kirkwall. If this Kjarekstad be not the same with Knarrarstad at Scapa, which was Earl Rögnvald’s homestead (see p. 113), and might be the castle here spoken of, there is a Carness near Kirkwall (in old maps Carisness) which may be more readily supposed to be the Kjarekstad from which Arni ran than Careston near Stromness.
