Annotation
The chapter begins with a look at Gizurr hvíti Teitsson and his apparent side-switching, first as attacker of Gunnarr, and then as leader of the anti-burner faction, and shows that this is not as contradictory as it might initially seem. Miller then turns to looking at the politics and rituals behind Flosi and the anti-burners’ support mustering, and at East and South Quarter political and power dynamics. The chapter then concludes with a brief analysis of Flosi and the other burners‘ visit to Ásgrimr.
