Next day, as the king sat in the audience hall,
he had the brothers called to him, and said:
'Now shall ye know of that your business which ye began with me,
craving to go home.
Ye have been some while here with me,
and have borne you well, and always done your duty.
I have thought well of you in everything.
Now will I, Eyvind, that thou go north to Halogaland.
I will give thee in marriage Sigridr of Sandness,
her that Thorolf had to wife;
and I will bestow on thee all the wealth that belonged to Thorolf;
thou shalt also have my friendship if thou canst keep it.
But Aulvir shall remain with me; for his skill as skald I cannot spare him.'
The brothers thanked the king for the honour granted to them,
and said that they would willingly accept it.

Then Eyvind made him ready for the journey, getting a good and suitable ship.
The king gave him tokens for this matter. His voyage sped well,
and he came north to Alost and Sandness. Sigridr welcomed him;
and Eyvind then showed her the king's tokens and declared his errand,
and asked her in marriage,
saying that it was the king's message that he should obtain this match.
But Sigridr saw that her only choice, as things had gone, was to let the king rule it.
So the arrangement was made, and Eyvind married Sigridr,
receiving with her the farm at Sandness and all the property that had been Thorolf's.
Thus Eyvind was a wealthy man.
The children of Eyvind and Sigridr were Fid Squinter, father of Eyvind Skald-spoiler,
and Geirlaug, whom Sighvat Red had to wife. Fid Squinter married Gunnhilda,
daughter of earl Halfdan.
Her mother was Ingibjorg, daughter of king Harold Fairhair.
Eyvind Lambi kept the king's friendship so long as they both lived.
