第130章

After King Olaf and Erling Skjalgson had this meeting at Augvaldsnes, new differences arose between them, and increased so much that they ended in perfect enmity.In spring (A.D.1023)the king proceeded to guest-quarters in Hordaland, and went up also to Vors, because he heard there was but little of the true faith among the people there.He held a Thing with the bondes at a place called Vang, and a number of bondes came to it fully armed.The king ordered them to adopt Christianity; but they challenged him to battle, and it proceeded so far that the men were drawn up on both sides.But when it came to the point such a fear entered into the blood of the bondes that none would advance or command, and they chose the part which was most to their advantage; namely, to obey the king and receive Christianity; and before the king left them they were all baptized.One day it happened that the king was riding on his way a singing of psalms, and when he came right opposite some hills he halted and said, "Man after man shall relate these my words, that I think it not advisable for any king of Norway to travel hereafter between these hills." And it is a saying among the people that the most kings since that time have avoided it.

The king proceeded to Ostrarfjord, and came to his ships, with which he went north to Sogn, and had his living in guest-quarters there in summer (A.D.1023); when autumn approached he turned in towards the Fjord district, and went from thence to Valders, where the people were still heathen.The king hastened up to the lake in Valders, came unexpectedly on the bondes, seized their vessels, and went on board of them with all his men.He then sent out message-tokens, and appointed a Thing so near the lake that he could use the vessels if he found he required them.The bondes resorted to the Thing in a great and well-armed host; and when he commanded them to accept Christianity the bondes shouted against him, told him to be silent, and made a great uproar and clashing of weapons.But when the king saw that they would not listen to what he would teach them, and also that they had too great a force to contend with, he turned his discourse, and asked if there were people at the Thing who had disputes with each other which they wished him to settle.It was soon found by the conversation of the bondes that they had many quarrels among themselves, although they had all joined in speaking against Christianity.When the bondes began to set forth their own cases, each endeavored to get some upon his side to support him;and this lasted the whole day long until evening, when the Thing was concluded.When the bondes had heard that the king had travelled to Valders, and was come into their neighborhood, they had sent out message-tokens summoning the free and the unfree to meet in arms, and with this force they had advanced against the king; so that the neighbourhood all around was left without people.When the Thing was concluded the bondes still remained assembled; and when the king observed this he went on board his ships, rowed in the night right across the water, landed in the country there, and began to plunder and burn.The day after the king's men rowed from one point of land to another, and over all the king ordered the habitations to be set on fire.Now when the bondes who were assembled saw what the king was doing, namely, plundering and burning, and saw the smoke and flame of their houses, they dispersed, and each hastened to his own home to see if he could find those he had left.As soon as there came a dispersion among the crowd, the one slipped away after the other, until the whole multitude was dissolved.Then the king rowed across the lake again, burning also on that side of the country.

Now came the bondes to him begging for mercy, and offering to submit to him.He gave every man who came to him peace if he desired it, and restored to him his goods; and nobody refused to adopt Christianity.The king then had the people christened, and took hostages from the bondes.He ordered churches to be built and consecrated, and placed teachers in them.He remained a long time here in autumn, and had his ships drawn across the neck of land between the two lakes.The king did not go far from the sides of the lakes into the country, for he did not much trust the bondes.When the king thought that frost might be expected, he went further up the country, and came to Thoten.Arnor, the earl's skald, tells how King Olaf burnt in the Uplands, in the poem he composed concerning the king's brother King Harald: --"Against the Upland people wroth, Olaf, to most so mild, went forth:

The houses burning, All people mourning;Who could not fly Hung on gallows high.

It was, I think, in Olaf's race The Upland people to oppress."Afterwards King Olaf went north through the valleys to Dovrefield, and did not halt until he reached the Throndhjem district and arrived at Nidaros, where he had ordered winter provision to be collected, and remained all winter (A.D.1024).

This was the tenth year of his reign.

130.OF EINAR TAMBASKELFER.

The summer before Einar Tambaskelfer left the country, and went westward to England (A.D.1023).There he met his relative Earl Hakon, and stayed some time with him.He then visited King Canute, from whom he received great presents.Einar then went south all the way to Rome, and came back the following summer (A.D.1024), and returned to his house and land.King Olaf and Einar did not meet this time.

131.THE BIRTH OF KING MAGNUS.

There was a girl whose name was Alfhild, and who was usually called the king's slave-woman, although she was of good descent.

  • 孟子:雄辩时代的斗士

    孟子:雄辩时代的斗士

    孟子奋然继起孔子的志业,“虽千万人吾往矣”,就是他最真确的写照。《孟子:雄辩时代的斗士》还原了孟子的经典、孟子的思想所处的真实历史场景,孟子的观点和想法在列国争雄的时代远远不是主流,而孟子所讲的道理也不为当政者及时人所理解,所以孟子要周游各国,大声陈述自己的观点以对抗时代。本书以《孟子》为依据勾勒出了战国时代的孟子形象:承袭儒家理想的孟子,奋然继起孔子奔走游说的志业,为维护儒家理想而战。
