“kaupangen i Trondheimen”

medieval nickname for the city of Nidaros/Trondheim

“Fraa denne Foldalen var altso ho Malene, som var fem og sytti Aar og piltade so lett som ei Rjupe tri Mil fram til Hjerkinn for at sjaa Kongen paa Nordferdi si til Throndheim, endaa mange Skytsfolk til Kongen, som vaaro i Fylgjet med sine lause Hestar, sagde, at ho gjekk for at sjaa seg ut ein Kjæraste paa Hjerkinn og Kongsvoll bland dei Mange, som komo dit fraa lang Leid for at sjaa Kongen.”

From this Foldal was Malene, who was seventy five years old and scurried as light as a grouse 34 km to Hjerkinn to see the king on his journey north to Throwendham [i.e. Trøndelag], even though many of the king’s horsemen, who were in his entourage with their loose horses, said that she went to find herself a spouse on Hjerkinn and Kongsvoll from the many who came from far away to see the king.
