The Sword Graysteel ("Grásíða") by C.E. St. John-Mildmay 1866

"...but the sword fell on Kors head, and did not bite; but still the blow was so stoutly dealt that the skull was shattered and the sword broke asunder. Then Kol said:

"It had been better now that I had got back my sword when I asked for it; and yet this is but the beginning of the ill-luck which it will bring on thy kith and kin." Thus both of them lost their lives."

-Gísli Saga, Ch.1
