Since Sjåvarb. uses and refers to Gottfried Schultze in other places, we
may be confident that this passage was taken directly from that work,
and not from the “Joh. Schm.” referred to in the margin (assuming
this to be a different source and not a mis-spelling). Jon Johannesson
(op. cit., p. 225) refers to him as “Joh. Schmidius,” but I have not
been able to discover a likely work connected with that name (i.e.
Schmid or Schmidt).
Under 1096 in Sjåvarb. there are marginal references to “Hans
Nanss.” and “Cron: Car.” next to this passage:
jnntok hertuge Gottfred / Godfreyr / af Bullion, med 300 pusund mannz af
pyskum, fronskum, og odrum piodum etc. bæde Jerusalem og allt Gidinga
land fra Saracenis, og rykte hann og hanz afspreinge og effterkomendur yfer
peim par effter j 88. år, pa utdrifu Saraceni pa afftur, pesse Godfrejr villde lata
kryna sig j Jerusalem med guil koronu, j peim stad, sem Christur var pyrne
kryndur, og rykte par xiij. år kongur.
There is no mention of Godfrey of Bouillon in Add. 11153. His story is
told in 1595, ff. 151v-153v, but the correspondences to this passage are
not close: the number of Godfrey’s forces differs, he is said to be “aff
Lotharingen,” his crowning in Jerusalem (f. 152v) is not connected
with Christ’s crown of thorns, and he ruled only from 1097 until his
death in 1100. These differences suggest that Porlåkur’s marginal ref-
erence to Chronica Carionis is erroneous.
At the year 1140 the margin has “Cron: Car. | gr. 71” next to this
entry:

mote honum tok sig Velphus / sc. Catulus /. pennann sigradj Conradus vid
