"Clad in a red cloak, his hair held by a band tricked out with gold, he advanced on the enemy, quietly trusting to the knowledge of his luck rather than weapons – so much that he seemed dressed for a party, not war.  But his mind was unlike his outfit, for unarmored, wearing only his royal insignia, he went before the armed battalions and gave the raging dangers of war a chance.  Yet the spears flung at him could no more harm him then if their blades pointed backwards.  When others saw this fighter's woundlessness, they were taken aback and shame spurred them to attack him still more fiercely.  Harald, unwounded, killed them with his sword or sent them fleeing."
