    • c. 850, Þjóðólfr of Hvinir, Ynglingatal, stanza 11:
      Vasa þat bært, / at Bera skyldi
      valsǿfendr / vígs of hvetja,
      þá’s brǿðr tveir / at bǫnum urðusk
      óþurfendr / of afbrýði.
      It was not right, that Bera should incite the slaughters of the slain [WARRIORS] to fight, when the two brothers became each other’s banemen, needlessly, out of jealousy.
