than possible to be imitated by our weakness. He appeared on earth that he might became our guardian and intercessor for help and mercy with Almighty God. For this it beseems us who are weighed down with the great load of our sins ever to pay him worship with the special devotion of bounden obedience and honour, that this the exalted martyr earl Magnus may deign to beseech for us with his worthiness and prayers that we may attain to be partakers of the heavenly crown and everlasting glory, which he obtained on the day of his martyrdom. May Our Lord Jesus Christ grant us this, who is honour and bliss, help and health, gladness and glory of all his saints and righteous men; who with the Father and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth one God in three persons world without end. Amen." CCVP Master Robert wrote this story in Latin to the worship and honour of saint Magnus the isle-earl, when twenty winters [It is impossible to verify this date, but if it be correct Master Robert must have written his life of St. Magnus in the year 1136.] were passed from his martyrdom.Now we must take up the story and tell of those things which were done after the death of saint Magnus the earl, that so great was the cruelty and hardness of earl Hacon, and so great his wrath and fury against the blessed Magnus, that he no less envied earl Magnus dead than alive. And though the fury and grimness of most men can be soothed after an ill deed is done, still neither ill will nor envy was soothed or sated in the heart of Hacon, for he forbids that earl Magnus should be buried at the church like Christian men, but rather that he should be there hidden in the ground where he was slain.It had been settled at the former meeting of the earls in Hrossey, that when their agreement had been fully strengthened and made steadfast after the judgment of the best men, which they had bound with oaths, that both earls, when they fared from the meeting, which had been fixed in Egelsha, should go to a feast in Paplay, to Thora the mother of earl Magnus. But now after the slaying and death of the earl, then earl Hacon still went to the feast with his men. There was the best of banquets. But when drink took hold on earl Hacon, then CCNA Security Thora went to him and said thus: --- "Now art thou alone come here, lord, but I looked for both of you twain, thee and earl Magnus my son. Now be so with me in my prayer, as thou wilt that all ruling God shall be to thee at doomsday, that thou givest me leave that my son may be buried at church." Earl Hacon looked towards her and shed tears, and said, "Bury thy son, woman, there where it liketh thee." Saint Magnus was then brought to church and buried at Birsay in Christchurch, which earl Thorfinn his grandfather had let be built. Then eftsoons a heavenly light was seen to shine over his grave. Afterwards men who were placed in peril began to vow to saint Magnus the earl, and their need was granted as they themselves prayed for it. At the same time a heavenly fragrance was perceived at his grave, and there sick men got their health. Next to that men made their voyage from the Orkneys and Shetland who were past hope of cure, and watched over his tomb, and all got healing for their hurts; but still men dared not to spread the miracles of earl Magnus much abroad while earl Hacon lived. It is is so said of those men who had been worst in going between the earls, and were most in treachery against earl Magnus, that they most of them had quick ends and a short life, and they died an ill death. After the slaying of of saint Magnus, Hacon Paul's son took under him all the rule in the Orkneys; he made then all men to take oaths of fealty to him, even those as well who had before served earl Magnus. Then he became a great chief, and laid heavy burdens on the friends of earl Magnus, whom he thought had been most against him in their dealings. Some winters after Hacon made him ready for a voyage out of the land; he fared south to Rome, and in that voyage he fared right out to Jewry, as was then palmers' wont; there he sought holy places, and bathed him in the river Jordan. After that he fared back to his own land, and took under him the rule in the Orkneys. He became then a good governor, and kept his realm well at peace. He laid down then new laws, which the freemen liked far better than those which had been before. By such things his friendships began to wax many. Then it came about that those Orkneyingers desired nothing else than to keep earl Hacon in power in the Orkneys, and his offspring. And there we make an end of speaking of Hacon in this book.The most merciful God, our Lord Jesus Christ, who bids and leads his friends to everlasting bliss from all the misery of this world, he the same who looses all those who creep with all their heart to his mercy, from all the sins and defilement of this sorrowful world, and makes out of the ignorant the wisest, of low and humble the most famous, of poor the richest, of ignoble the most noble chiefs, not indeed of this world's kingdom, but rather of the kingdom of heaven, and of endless glory, as he did of old by Joseph the patriarch, who was led out of the dark dungeon, and made at once lord and chief of all the realm of Egypt --- he, the same who made David out of a shepherd's lad the highest CCNA Voice king over all the tribes of Israel, and led Judas Maccabeus out of the starvation of the wilderness, that he might attain honour and renown in victory, and such great glory that he was thought by far to excel other men; and Alexander the son of Philip, who was called the Macedonian, for the sake of the hard mastership of Aristotle [Here at least one leaf in the MS. is lost.] **************** and furnished in all things, as might be most seemly. Then the lord bishop enshrined the halidom of the blessed earl Magnus with honour and pomp, and the thanksgiving of the whole people; and then all those were healed who were in despair of health, and needing mercy, who had come thither at that time to his halidom. Saint Magnus the earl was enshrined on the Feast of Lucy the Virgin, before Yule in the winter. And that day is worthily kept far and wide, both to saint Magnus and the blessed maid of God Lucy; but the day of his departure to the kingdom of heaven is in spring.
