He had a son by his wife, who was called Refit, who
grew up in his father's house, and soon became great of growth,
and shapely.

CHAPTER II.
Of the Birth of Volsung, the Son of Rerir, who was the Son of
Sigi.
Now Sigi grew old, and had many to envy him, so that at last
those turned against him whom he trusted most; yea, even the
brothers of his wife; for these fell on him at his unwariest,
when there were few with him to withstand them, and brought so
many against him, that they prevailed against him, and there fell
Sigi and all his folk with him. But Rerir, his son, was not in
this trouble, and he brought together so mighty a strength of his
friends and the great men of the land, that he got to himself
both the lands and kingdom of Sigi his father; and so now, when
he deems that the feet under him stand firm in his rule, then he
calls to mind that which he had against his mother's brothers,
who had slain his father.
