Harald Hardrådes saga, avsnitt 39:

Ivar Kvite het en mann som var en gjæv lendmann. Han bodde på Opplanda; han var dattersønn til Håkon jarl den mektige. Ivar var den vakreste mann som noen kunne se. Sønn til Ivar het Håkon; om ham er det sagt at han stod over alle de menn som var i Norge den tid, i djervhet, styrke og dyktighet. Alt i unge år var han på hærferder og vant seg stor ære, og Håkon ble en mann med et stort navn.
