Then says Onund in high-pitched voice, 'A wondrous bold man are you,
Egil, the outlaw of king Eric,
who come hither to his land and think here to attack his men and friends.
You are to know, Egil,
that I have overthrown men as good as you for less cause than methinks this is,
when you claim heritage in right of your wife; for this is well known to all,
that she is born of a bondwoman.'
Onund was furious in language for a time;
but when Egil saw that Onund would do no right in this matter,
then he summoned him to court, and referred the matter to the law of the Gula-thing.
Onund said, 'To the Gula-thing I will come,
and my will is that you should not come away thence with a whole skin.'
Egil said he would risk coming to the Thing all the same:
'There let come what come may to end our matter.'
Egil then went away with his company,
and when he came home told Arinbjorn of his journey and of Onund's answer.
Arinbjorn was very angry that Thora his father's sister had been called a bondwoman. Arinbjorn went to king Eric, and declared this matter before him.'
