The Second Battle of Solskjell was an engagement in Harald Fairhair's conquest of Norway. After the First Battle of Solskjell, Solve Klove, son of King Huntiof, King of Nordmøre set himself up as a pirate and spent that winter raiding and plundering King Harald's men and possessions on the Møre coast. King Harald himself had left to spend the winter in Trondheim. Solve had also spent time at the court of King Arnvid of Sunnmøre and they had gathered together a large group of people who had been dispossessed by Harald's conquest.〔( ''Saga om Solskjel'' (Solskjel.no) )〕 The following summer Harald again gathered an army and sailed south. On hearing news of Harald's intentions' Solve traveled to King Audbjorn in Fjordane and convinced him to join forces against Harald. The force sailed north to meet Harald by Solskjell. Here both kings Arnvid and Audbjorn fell, but Solve again escaped. ''Heimskringla'' tells that Harald's men, Asgaut and Asbjorn as well as Grjotgard and Herlaug, the sons of earl Håkon Grjotgardsson, were all killed in battle. Solve subsequently resumed his pirate raids and caused much trouble to Harald in several years after. King Harald took possession of Sunnmøre and made Ragnvald Eysteinsson the Mørejarl.〔(''Ragnvald Øysteinson Mørejarl'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕 ==See also== *First battle of Solskjel *Glymdrápa 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Second battle of Solskjel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
