• Notes

  He was attending a great feast hosted by his friend, Frode of Leidre, at the latter's hall in Sealand. In this large house there was a vessel many ells high. This vessel stood in a lower room, and from above it, in a hole in the floor of the loft, one poured the mead, exceedingly strong. "In the evening Fjolne, with his attendants, was taken into the adjoining loft to sleep. In the night he went out to the gallery to seek a certain place, and he was very sleepy and exceedingly drunk. As he came back to his room he went along the gallery to the door of another left, went into it, and his foot slipping, he fell into the vessel of mead and was drowned." So says Thjodolf of Kvine: "In Frode's hall the fearful word, The death-foreboding sound was heard: The cry of fey denouncing doom, Was heard at night in Frode's home. And when brave Frode came, he found Swithiod's dark chief, Fjolne, drowned. In Frode's mansion drowned was he, Drowned in a waveless, windless sea."
