About the illustration:

"The image shows the victors' ships returning home after the Battle of Svolder in the year 1000. After King Olav Tryggvason disappeared from Ormen Lange – whether he died or fled is uncertain – the cries of victory echoed. Earl Sigvalde, who until then had stayed out of the fight, rowed towards the battlefield with his ten ships, while the snekke with his wife Astrid set course for Vendland. Rumors said that Olav had swum there and been rescued, but no one knew for sure. Earl Eirik took Ormen Lange and a great war prize, and together with King Svein of Denmark and Olav of Sweden, he divided Norway. Eirik received large parts of Western Norway, Trøndelag, Hålogaland, and Agder, King Svein of Denmark took Viken and gave Raumarike and Hedemarken as fiefs to Eirik, while Svein Håkonsson became earl under Olav of Sweden. Both earls were baptized but ruled the country with respect for old laws and customs, and were known as friendly and skilled chieftains.""}
