Page "Yrsa" Paragraph 8

When the banquet had lasted for three days, Urse and Roluo escaped from Uppsala, early in the morning in carriages where they had put all the Swedish king's treasure.

In order to lessen their burden, and to occupy any pursuing warriors they spread gold in their path, although there was a rumour that she only spread gilded copper.

Roluo was pleased to see the king of Sweden bent down, and escaped in the ships with his mother.
