 The losses suffered were so severe that according to the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" only 24 ships from the Norse fleet of over 300 were needed to carry the survivors away.They withdrew to Orkney, where they spent the winter, and in the spring Olaf returned to Norway still on good terms with the Thorfinssons.The "Orkneyinga saga" says that Paul and Erlend remained on friendly terms until their children grew to adulthood, after which the disputes between their sons led to a quarrel and open hostility between the brothers.
