• Notes

  Death The third autumn, when the offer of sacrifices should begin, a great multitude of Swedes came to Upsal; and now the chiefs held consultations with each other, and all agreed that the times of scarcity were on account of their king Domald, and they resolved to offer him for good seasons, and to assault and kill him, and sprinkle the stalle of the gods with his blood. And they did so. Thjodolf tells of this: -- "It has happened oft ere now, That foeman's weapon has laid low The crowned head, where battle plain, Was miry red with the blood-rain. But Domald dies by bloody arms, Raised not by foes in war's alarms -- Raised by his Swedish liegemen's hand, To bring good seasons to the land." event ·given bad luck by the witchcraft used against him by his step-mother event ·took the heritage after his father Visbur, and ruled over the land event ·witnessed his people, for in his time there was great famine and distress, as they, the Swedes, made great offerings of sacrifice at Upsal. The first autumn they sacrificed oxen, but the succeeding season was not improved thereby event ·again watched his people make sacrifices, for in the following autumn they sacrificed men, but the succeeding year was rather worse
