Snorre writes:

"Håkon Adalsteinsfostre was in England when he heard of the death of his father Harald Fairhair. King Adalstein equipped him with men and good ships, and Håkon sailed home in the autumn [934]. In Trøndelag, he sought Sigurd the Earl, the wisest in the country, and promised him great power if he became king. They convened a crowded assembly. First, the earl spoke on Håkon's behalf, then Håkon himself stepped forward. People whispered that it was as if Harald Fairhair had become young again. Håkon asked for a royal name and the farmers' support to hold the kingdom; in return, he promised to make all farmers odelsbårne and return the farms that Harald had taken. Then the cheering broke out, and the people of Trøndelag made him king over all the land. The news spread like wildfire eastward to the Uplands and beyond; farmers sent messages, signs, and promises to become his men. The king accepted with thanks and took a hird. The picture shows the young Håkon at the assembly field, surrounded by farmers, earls, and hirdmen; behind lie ships ashore. Air and sea sparkle in the background, and the atmosphere carries the promise of a gentler rule.."
