Annotation
In the article the author examines and compares sources on Eric bloodaxe, then he questions whether Eric ruled over Northumberland at the time of Æthelstan king of England, which is described in Egils saga, and Heimskringla. However many historic sources contradict this, for example in some English annals Eric is said to have been king at Jórvík at the time of Edward I. The author points to the fact that according to the biography of Cathró of Metz, which is published in W.F. Skene’s collection on the history of Scotland, there is a consistency with the Icelandic source and Eric bloodaxe is said to have ruled Northumberland at the time of Æthelstan, though the descriptions are not exactly the same.
Lýsing
Í greininni rannsakar höfundur ýmsar heimildir þar sem er fjallað um Eirík blóðöx. Hann ber þær saman og spyr hvort Eiríkr hafi ríkt á Norðimbralandi á dögum Aðalsteins Englakonungs. Svo er sagt í Egils sögu og Heimskringlu en á móti því mæla sumar aðrar sögulegar heimildir. Í enskum árbókum er til dæmis sagt að Eiríkur hafi verið konungur í Jórvík á dögum Játmundar 1. Höfundurinn bendir aftur á móti á að ævisaga Cadroë hins helga, sem prentuð hafi verið í safni W.F. Skene til sögu Skotlands, samræmist þeim vitnisburði íslensku heimildanna að Eirikr blóðöx hafi haft ríki á Norðimbralandi á dögum Aðalsteins Englakonungs, þó að hún lýsi því á ólíkan hátt.

Chapter 69: bróðir hans Játmundur: "Þó mælir margt á móti því, að Eiríkr hafi verið í Jórvík um daga Játmundar, er átti viðskifti við aðra konunga þar nyrðra, enda segja sögurnar einum rómi, að Aðalsteinn hafi veitt Eiríki yfirsókn á Norðimbralandi, og er það sögn Eg. og Hkr., að Eiríkr hafi verið settur þar til landvarnar, en haldist þar eigi við eftir að Játmundr kom til ríkis" (pp. 316-17).
