CHAP. VII.
Of the Birth of Sinfjotli the Son of Sigmund.
SO on a tide it befell as Signy sat in her bower, that there came to her a witch-wife exceeding cunning, and Signy talked with her in such wise, “Fain am I,” says she, “that we should change semblances together.”
She says, “Even as thou wilt then.”
And so by her wiles she brought it about that they changed semblances, and now the witch-wife sits in Signy’s place according to her rede, and goes to bed by the king that night, and he knows not that he has other than Signy beside him.
But the tale tells of Signy, that she fared to the earth-house of her brother, and prayed him give her harbouring for the night; “For I have gone astray abroad in the woods, and know not whither I am going.”
So he said she might abide, and that he would not refuse harbour to one lone woman, deeming that she would scarce pay back his good cheer by tale-bearing: so she came into the house, and they sat down to meat, and his eyes were often on her, and a goodly and fair woman she seemed to him; but when they are full, then he says to her, that he is right fain that they should have but one bed that night; she nowise turned away ​therefrom, and so for three nights together he laid her in bed by him.
Thereafter she fared home, and found the witch-wife, and bade her change semblances again, and she did so.
Now as time wears, Signy brings forth a man-child, who was named Sinfjotli, and when he grew up he was both big and strong, and fair of face, and much like unto the kin of the Volsungs, and he was hardly yet ten winters old when she sent him to Sigmund’s earth-house; but this trial she had made of her other sons or ever she had sent them to Sigmund, that she had sewed gloves on to their hands through flesh and skin, and they had borne it ill and cried out thereat; and this she now did to Sinfjotli, and he changed countenance in nowise thereat. Then she flayed off the kirtle so that the skin came off with the sleeves, and said that this would be torment enough for him; but he said—
“Full little would Volsung have felt such a smart as this.”
So the lad came to Sigmund, and Sigmund bade him knead their meal up, while he goes to fetch firing; so he gave him the meal-sack, and then went after the wood, and by then he came back had Sinfjotli made an end of his baking. Then asked Sigmund if he had found nothing in the meal.
“I misdoubted me that there was something quick in the meal when I first fell to kneading of it, but I have kneaded it all up together, both the meal and that which was therein, whatsoever it was.”
Then Sigmund laughed out, he said—
“Naught wilt thou eat of this bread to-night, for the most deadly of worms hast thou kneaded up therewith.”
​Now Sigmund was so mighty a man that he might eat venom and have no hurt therefrom; but Sinfjotli might abide whatso venom came on the outside of him, but might neither eat nor drink thereof.

London: Walter Scott, 24 Warwick Lane, pages 163–171
PART OF THE SECOND LAY OF HELGI HUNDING’S-BANE.
HELGI wedded Sigrun, and they begat sons together, but Helgi lived not to be old; for Dag, the son of Hogni, sacrificed to Odin, praying that he might avenge his father. So Odin lent Dag his spear, and Dag met Helgi, his brother-in-law, at a place called Fetter-grove, and thrust him through with that spear, and there fell Helgi dead; but Dag rode to Sevafell, and told Sigrun of the news.
A barrow was raised above Helgi, but when he came to Valhall, then Odin bade him be lord of all things there, even as he; so Helgi sang—
A bondmaid of Sigrun went in the evening-tide by Helgi’s mound, and there she saw how Helgi rode toward it with a great company; then she sang—
Then went the bondmaid home, and told Sigrun, and sang—
So Sigrun went into the mound to Helgi, and sang—
​Now Sigrun arrayed a bed in the mound, and sang:
​So Helgi rode his ways: and the others gat them gone home to the house. But the next night Sigrun bade the bondwoman have heed of the mound. So at nightfall, whenas Sigrun came to the mound, she sang:
But a little while lived Sigrun, because of her sorrow and trouble. But in old time folk trowed that men should be born again, though their troth be now deemed but an old wife’s doting. And so, as folk say, Helgi and Sigrun were born again, and at that tide was he called Helgi the Scathe of Hadding, and she Kara the daughter of Halfdan; and she was a Valkyria, even as is said in the Lay of Kara.
* ↑ Only that part of the song is given which completes the episode of Helgi Hunding’s-bane; the earlier part of the song differs little from the Saga.
* ↑ Hogni, the father of Dag and Sigrun, had been slain by Helgi in battle, and Helgi had given peace to, and taken oaths of Dag.
* ↑ One of the rivers of the under-world.
* ↑ Hall-crower, Salgofnir: lit. Hall-gaper, the cock of Valhall.

INTRODUCTION BY THE EDITOR
Reason #1 people don’t read War and Peace: Too many names.
In past versions, one character may have a half-dozen names. Some characters even share the same name. In this edition, all characters have only one name.
Reason #2: Too many phrases in French and other languages.
In this edition, I translated all foreign words into English and marked them with italics. Readers no longer have to refer to footnotes or look up foreign phrases that past translators assumed readers knew the meaning of.
Reason #3: Too many awkwardly translated phrases.
In this edition, I corrected the most egregious mistranslations. Examples include “rudenesses,” “scarriages,” and “beshashed.” I also adjusted many sentences that I felt were awkwardly translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude in their 1922 translation.
Reason #4: Too long.
With the above alterations in this edition of War and Peace, the novel is so clear and engaging that modern readers won't want it to end! After all, few people think the Downton Abbey series is too long. I hope that with the simplification of names and other edits in this new edition of War and Peace, readers will find this novel similarly enjoyable.
-Tomkin Coleman December 2022
NOTES ON EDITING I loved reading War and Peace. I loved, as Andrew D. Kaufman describes in his book, Give
War and Peace a Chance: Tolstoyan Wisdom for Troubled Times, the novel's main theme of our “search to find meaning in a relentlessly unstable world.” Reading War and Peace helped me ​Page:WAR AND PEACE, Simplified Names Edition.pdf/2 ​Page:WAR AND PEACE, Simplified Names Edition.pdf/3 ​Page:WAR AND PEACE, Simplified Names Edition.pdf/4 ​Page:WAR AND PEACE, Simplified Names Edition.pdf/5
