DRENGSIÐR
“En þar váru svá góðir drengir innan borðs, at allir tóku sín vápn, ok engi flýði ór sínu rúmi, ok engi mælti æðruorð.”
“And there were such honorable men on that ship that they all took up their weapons, and not one fled from his spot nor spoke a word of fear.”
–Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks (The Saga of Hervör and Heidrek)
