Relations and evidence
Kinship(2)
with Gudmund · weight 1 · ch. 41–41
“The next summer the king sent Gizor and Hjalti Skeggjason to Iceland to preach the faith anew, and kept four men back as hostages Kjartan Olafson, Halldor, the son of Gudmund the Mighty, Kolbein, son of Thord the priest of Frey, and Sverling, son of Runolf of Dale.”
with Olaf · weight 1 · ch. 75–75
“Beiner the Strong was at home, the only man now left alive of those who had been there with Olaf, the father of Halldor.”
Conversation(8)
with Bersi · weight 1 · ch. 28–28
“He comes to see Olaf and asked for Halldor his son to foster.”
with Helgi the Lean · weight 1 · ch. 63–63
“Helgi answered, "I clearly know this man from your tale.”
with Snorri the Priest · weight 2 · ch. 71–71
“Halldor gave him a good welcome, and asked him to stay there, but Snorri said he must ride back that night.”
“Snorri answered, "This is offered well and frankly, and the brothers will take this choice if they are willing to set any store by my counsel."”
with Snorri the Priest · weight 1 · ch. 71–71
“Halldor said, "I will undertake this, if it be the wish of my brothers, to pay money for the slaying of Bolli, such as shall be awarded by the umpires chosen, but I bargain that there be no outlawing of anybody concerned, nor forfeiture of my chieftainship or estate; the same claim I make in respect of the estates my brothers are possessed of, and I make a point of their being left free owners thereof whatever be the close of this case, each side to choose their own umpire."”
with Beiner · weight 1 · ch. 75–75
“Halldor had said to Beiner at once when he saw Thorstein and Thorkell riding up, "I can easily see what the errand of these kinsmen is--they are going to make me a bid for my land, and if that is the case they will call me aside for a talk; I guess they will seat themselves each on either side of me; so, then, if they should give me any trouble you must not be slower to set on Thorstein than I on Thorkell.”
with Thorstein the Black · weight 2 · ch. 75–75
“Halldor answered, "I do not think I need keep you in the dark as to this point, that you will have to go home to-night without any bargain struck."”
“But when Thorstein spoke in this outrageous manner, Halldor leapt up so suddenly that the brooch was torn from his cloak, and said, "Something else will happen before I utter that which is not my will."”
with Thorstein the Black · weight 3 · ch. 75–75
“Then said Thorstein, "Nor do I think it needful to delay making known to you what we have in our mind to do; for we, deeming that we shall get the better of you by reason of the odds on our side, have bethought us of two choices for you: one choice is, that you do this matter willingly and take in return our friendship; but the other, clearly a worse one, is, that you now stretch out your hand against your own will and sell me the land of Herdholt."”
“"What is that?" said Thorstein.”
“After that they rode away and talked much together of this their journey; and Thorstein, speaking thereof, said that, truth to tell, their journey was most wretched.”
with Thorkell · weight 2 · ch. 75–75
“Then Halldor answered, "Sooner you will be embracing the sea-tangle in Broadfirth than I sell my land against my own will."”
“Halldor said he was given to think he would not fail in being ready for them.”
Killing(1)
with Audgisl · weight 2 · ch. 67–67
“Audgisl ran to the booth of the Waterfirthers and Halldor rushed after him and struck him his death-blow in the door of the booth.”
