longhair

He was a close friend of Asmund Longhair, as befitted the near relations in which they stood to each other.

News of the death of his kinsman was brought to Asmund Longhair, on whom as nearest of kin the blood-feud devolved.

Before he left home Asmund Longhair was taken ill and was quite confined to his bed.

To "lift up the voice" and wear longhair were signs of devotion to a purpose.
