Kolskegg arrives in Norway for the winter before journeying on to Denmark. One night, he dreams of a gleaming man who asks Kolskegg to become his knight. The man says he will give Kolskegg a wife. Kolskegg believes this is a vision of Christ, so he converts to Christianity. He receives baptism in Denmark before journeying to Constantinople where he joins the Varangian Guard. He lives the remainder of his life in the Byzantine Empire.
Thrain Sigfusson, Gunnar’s uncle, travels to Norway where he encounters Earl Hakon, who takes him into service. Thrain volunteers to kill Kol, a Viking outlaw. The earl accepts and grants him five ships. Thrain finds Kol in Denmark.
Kol dreams of the ships the night before, so he recognizes them. He and his men gather their arms. Kol leaps onboard Thrain’s ship, slaughtering many, yet he meets his death. Thrain reunites with Earl Hakon in Norway, bringing much booty. The earl gifts Thrain an ornamented ship called Griffin, promises his friendship, and asks Thrain to remain in his service.
