Part 50 - Hakon's Journey To Denmark

Hakon then went out of the country with a well-manned ship. When he came to Denmark he went immediately to his relative, King Svein, who received him honourably and gave him great fiefs. Hakon became King Svein's commander of the coast defence against the vikings, — the Vindland people, Kurland people, and others from the East countries, — who infested the Danish dominions; and he lay out with his ships of war both winter and summer.
