Przełożył i opracował – Rafał Rutkowski Hakon, opuszczony przez swoich ludzi, upatrując nadziei w samotnej ucieczce, dostał się do pewnej wioski o nazwie Rimul. Tam też został ukryty przez swoją nałożnicę Thorę w świńskim chlewie wraz z jedynym niewolnikiem o imieniu Bark. A gdy (jak to bywa w zmartwieniu) ogarnął go sen, zginął, ugodzony w gardło przez tegoż niewolnika; potem wszakże, gdy ten niewolnik przyniósł jego głowę, król rozkazał powiesić go na stryczku w nagrodę i za występek, jakiego dopuścił się przeciwko swojemu panu.
