One character in this work is warned by his dog of the approach of a band led by a priest that is coming to kill him, and consequently kills two and wounds sixteen before succumbing. While riding with Thord Freemanson, the title character explains that Thord's vision of a goat wallowing in blood was really a fylgja, or a prefiguration of Thord's own death. This work's title character is the friend of Gunnar, but the two quarrel when their wives, Bergthora and Hallgerda, urge them to escalate a feud. That feud escalates further when the title character's son Skarphedinn kills Thrain, brother of Kettle of the Mark, which leads to the involvement of Flosi Thordsson. The death of this work's title character is followed by the story of Kari and Flosi's reconciliation, and this work's title character perishes with his grandson and wife after covering himself and them with an oxhide when Flosi's men set his house on fire.
