Grettir saga by Ásmundarson. Bandamanna saga. Odds þáttr by Ófeigsson Odds þáttr by Ófeigsson. Guðni Jónsson published and wrote the foreword.
A man named Onundur. He was the son of Ófeig, son of Burlufót, son of Ívar Beytil. Onundur was the brother of Guðbjörg, mother of Guðbrand the Bull, father of Ásta, mother of King Óláfr the Holy. Onundur was an Uppland native on his mother's side, but his father's side was mostly around Rogaland and Hörðaland.
Onund was a great Viking and raided the west by sea. With him in the raid were Bálki Blængsson of Sótanes and Ormur the Wealthy. Their third companion was called Hallvarður. They had five ships, all well-manned. They raided the Southern Islands, and when they came to the Barrey Islands, there was a king there named Kjarvalur. He also had five ships. They engaged him in battle, and a fierce battle ensued. Onund's men were the most valiant. Many fell on both sides, but it ended with the king fleeing with only one ship. Onund's men took both ships and much wealth there, and spent the winter there. For three summers they raided Ireland and Scotland. Then they went to Norway.
