Answer:

He puts personal safety, self-interest, and pride aside for the opportunity to be with Ingebord.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frithiof is the protagonist of the Frithiof Saga. He is in love with Ingebord but the girl's brothers do not want to let this love happen and create difficult situations to prevent them from getting together.

But Frithiof puts personal safety, self-interest and pride aside for the opportunity to be with Ingebord. This is shown several times during the work. First, he defies the gods, going to the temple where Ingeborg was imprisoned and forbidden to have any kind of relationship with a man; then he burns the temple. As if that were not enough, Frithiof returns to the city where he is fugitive and will serve the king who is married to Ingeborg, passing over his own pride to be near Ingeborg.
