In the first chapter of his dissertation Hafstað examines how the ideas of friendship and allegiance are described in Egil's saga. For these considerations, he describes how these themes are dealt with in Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla and further developed in Egil's Saga. The blind humbleness described in Heimskringla develops into a loyal and autonomous allegiance which, in case of doubt, can be directed against the king to support a friend's cause in Egil's Saga. Based on his analysis, Hafstað proposes that Snorri Sturluson was the author of Egil's Saga. He also draws parallels to the life of Snorri who in his youth was blinded by the splendour and glamour of the Norwegian royal court but later caught in-between the Norwegian king and allegiance to his own countrymen. | In the first chapter of his dissertation Hafstað examines how the ideas of friendship and allegiance are described in ''Egil's saga''.

Annotation
In the first chapter of his dissertation Hafstað examines how the ideas of friendship and allegiance are described in Egil's saga. For these considerations, he describes how these themes are dealt with in Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla and further developed in Egil's Saga. The blind humbleness described in Heimskringla develops into a loyal and autonomous allegiance which, in case of doubt, can be directed against the king to support a friend's cause in Egil's Saga. Based on his analysis, Hafstað proposes that Snorri Sturluson was the author of Egil's Saga. He also draws parallels to the life of Snorri who in his youth was blinded by the splendour and glamour of the Norwegian royal court but later caught in-between the Norwegian king and allegiance to his own countrymen.
Lýsing
Í fyrsta kafla doktorsritgerðar sinnar skoðar Baldur Hafstað birtingarmyndir vináttu og tryggðar í Egils sögu. Hann beinir sjónum að því hvernig unnið er með samskonar hugmyndir í Heimskringlu Snorra Sturlusonar sem síðar ná frekari þroska í Egils sögu. Sú skilyrðislausa auðmýkt sem kemur fram í Heimskringlu þróast yfir í sanna og sjálfstæða hollustu í Egils sögu, sem getur verið beint gegn konungnum til að styðja málstað hollvina. Út frá greiningu sinni færir Baldur rök fyrir því að Snorri Sturluson sé höfundur Eglu. Máli sínu til stuðnings bendir hann á hliðstæður úr lífshlaupi Snorra sem var á yngri árum heillaður af ljóma og dýrð norsku hirðarinnar en þurfti seinna á lífsleiðinni að velja á milli tryggðar við norska konunginn eða tryggðar við samlanda sína.
