Vellekla
Vellekla (Old Norse for "shortage of gold"[1]) is a partially preserved drápa (series of stanzas with refrain) composed in the late 10th century[2] by the Icelandic skald Einar Helgason skálaglamm. It is one of the two drápas he made for Hákon jarl. It speaks of the Battle of Hjörungavágr and Hákon's campaign in Denmark, among other things.[1][3]
