Quotation from The Early Kings of Norway by Thomas Carlyle
“He vowed to let his hair grow, never to cut or even to comb it till this feat were done, and the peerless Gyda his own”
The Early Kings of Norway, Ch. I, Harald Haarfagr (Project Gutenberg #1932)
Gyda has refused to marry a mere jarl; Harald's vow gives the founding king his name and the conquest its romantic beginning.
