 after King Harald, Olof, the wife of Palnatoki, fell sick and 

 died. After her death, Paluatoki did not like to live in 

 Bretland, and placed Bjorn the British to take care of that 

 realm. He then made thirty ships ready, and intended to 

 go on Viking expeditions and warfare. He left the land as

 Scotland and England, and won for himself much property and 

 fame in his expeditions. He continued this for twelve 

 summers, and got well off both in property and honour"
