“King Jormunrekkr the Mighty learned of her beauty, and sent his son Randver to woo her and bring her to be his wife. When Randver had come to the court of Jonakr, Svanhildr was given into his hands, and he should have brought her to King Jormunrekkr. But Earl Bikki said that it was a better thing for Randver towed Svandhildr, since he and she were both young, whereas Jormunrekkr was old. This counsel pleased the young folk well.”
