Þá sneri Björn heim til ríkis síns. Eptir þat barðist Örnúlfr keisari við þá bræðr, ok fell þá af Dönum ok Norðmönnum hundrað þúshundraða. Þar fell þá Sigurðr ormr í auga, ok Guðröðr hét annarr konungr, er þar fell. Hann var sonr Óláfs Hringssonar, Ingjaldssonar, Ingasonar, Hringssonar, er Hringaríki er við kennt. Hann var sonr Dags ok Þóru drengjamóður. Þau áttu níu syni, ok er af þeim komin Döglinga ætt. Helgi hvassi hét bróðir Guðröðar. Hann hafði brott ór orrostunni merki Sigurðar orms í auga ok sverð hans ok skjöld. Hann fór heim til Danmarkar með sínu liði ok fann þar Áslaugu, móður Sigurðar, ok sagði henni tíðendin.
