Bork grabbed hold of Thordis and wretched the sword away from her - Unknown date/artist

"And later in the evening, when she brought in the food, she dropped a tray of spoons. Eyjolf had laid Gisli's sword between the bench and his feet, and Thordis recognized it. When she bent down to pick up the spoons, she grabbed the sword by the hilt and thrust out at Eyjolf, meaning to strike him in the guts. But she had not noticed that the end of the hilt was turned upwards, and it caught against the table. She had struck him lower than she intended, hit him in the thigh and wounded him sorely. Bork grabbed hold of Thordis and wrenched the sword away from her, and the others jumped up and overturned the tables and the food."
