FOREWORD

The centennial book, made sacred by the priest Beda, mentions an island called Thile, and the books say that there was a six-day voyage north of Britain; there he said not to come day in winter and not night in summer, when the day is as long as possible. To this end wise men think that Iceland is called Thile, that it is in many parts of the country that the sun shines at night, when the day is as long as possible, but it is in many places when the sun does not see, when it is night as long as possible. But the priest Beda died seven hundred and thirty-five years after the incarnation of our Lord, as it is written, and more than a hundred years before Iceland was inhabited by the Norwegians.

But before Iceland was inhabited by Norway, there were men whom the Norwegians call papa; they were Christians, and it is thought that they were west of the sea, for Irish books, bells and bagels and other things were found after them, those who could be understood to be Westerners. It is still mentioned in English books that at that time there was travel between the countries.

 

FIRST PART

Chapter 1

When Iceland was found and inhabited by Norway, Pope Adrian in Rome and John after him, the fifth with that name in the apostolic seat, and Emperor Hlodver Hlodversson north of the mountain, and Leo and his son Alexander over Miklagarður; Haraldur was a fair-haired king over Norway, and Eiríkur Eymundarson in Sweden and Björn his son, and Gormur the old in Denmark, and Elfráður the rich in England and Játvarður his son, and Kjarvalur in Dublin, Earl Sigurður the rich in Orkney.

Wise men say that from Norway there is a seven-day voyage west to Horn in Iceland on the east side, but from Snæfellsnes, where it is worst, there is a four-day sea west to Greenland. But it is said that if one sails from Björgyn just west to Hvarfsinn in Greenland, then there will be a dozen sailing south of Iceland. From Reykjanes in the south of Iceland there is a five-day sea to Jölduhlaup in Ireland (in the south; but from Langanes in the north of Iceland there is a four-day sea north to Svalbard in the seabed.

It is said that people should go from Norway to the Faroe Islands; mention some to Naddodd viking; but then they drifted west into the sea and found much land there. They went up in the East Fjords in a mountain one way and looked around if they saw smoke or any likelihood that the land was inhabited, and they did not see it.

They returned in the autumn to the Faroe Islands; and when they sailed from the land, a great snow fell on the mountains, and for that they called the land Snaeland. They praised the country very much.

There is now called Reyðarfjall in the Eastfjords, when they had come. So said the learned priest Sæmundur.

There was a man named Garðar Svavarsson, of Swedish descent; he went in search of Snæland for the reference of his foresighted mother. He came ashore east of Horn the east; there was then a harbor. Gardar sailed around the country and knew it was an island. He spent the winter north of Húsavík on Skjálfandi and built a house there.

In the spring, when he was ready for the sea, a man named Náttfari and a slave and a handmaid broke away from him. He later lived there, which is called Náttfaravík.

Gardar then went to Norway and praised the country very much. He was the father of Una, the father of Hróar Tungugoði. After that the land was called Garðarshólmur, and there was a forest between the mountain and the shore.

Chapter 2

There was a man named Flóki Vilgerðarson; he was a great Viking; he went in search of Gardarsholm, and sailed from there, which is called Flokavard; Hordaland and Rogaland meet there. He first went to Shetland, and lay there in Flokavogur; there Geirhildur his daughter was lost in Geirhildarvatn.

With Floki was on a ship a farmer named Thorolf, another Herjolf. Faxi was the name of a man from Southern Iceland who was on a ship there.

Flóki had three ravens with him in the sea, and when he released the first one, a flea was seen again on the pole; another flea in the air up and back to the ship; the third flew forward on a pole in the direction in which they found the land. They came east to Horn and sailed for the south of the country.

But when they sailed west through Reykjanes and up the fjord, so that they saw Snæfellsnes, Faxi spoke of: "This will be a great land which we have found; here are great streams".

Then it is called Faxaós.

Flóki and his men sailed west over Breiðafjörður and took land there, which is called Vatnsfjörður by Barðaströnd. Then the fjord was full of fishing, and they could not catch the hay, and all their livestock died during the winter. Spring was rather cold. Then Flóki went up the mountain one way and saw north over the mountains a fjord full of sea ice; therefore they called the land Iceland, which it has since been called.

Flóki and his family planned a break in the summer and were ready for winter. They did not graze for Reykjanes, and the boat broke away from them, and there Herjolf; he took what is now called Herjólfshöfn. Flóki spent the winter in Borgarfjörður, and they found Herjólf. They sailed to Norway the following summer.

And when men inquired of the land, Floki was ill-disposed, but Herjolf said he could and did leave the land, but Thorolf said he would drip butter from every straw in the land, which they had found; therefore he was called Thorolf Butter.

Chapter 3

There was a man named Bjornolf, and another Hroald; they were the sons of Hromund Gripsson; they left Þelamörk for the sake of slaying and settled in Dalsfjörður á Fjölum. Björnolf's son was Örn, the father of Ingólfur and Helgi, but Hróald's son was Hróðmar, Leif's father.

Ingólfur and Leif the foster-brothers went to war with the sons of Earl Atli the Narrow of Gaul, Hástein and Herstein and Hólmstein. All times went well with them, and when they came home, they talked to each other for another summer.

But during the winter, the foster brothers made a feast for the earl's sons. At that feast Holmstein made a vow that he should have Helgi Arnardóttir or no wife at all. People did not like this warmth, but Leif blushed, and little happened to Hólmstein when they parted from the invitation.

Chapter 4

The following spring the foster-brothers prepared to go to war and intended to meet Earl Atli's sons. They met at Hísargafl, and the Holmstein brothers immediately went to battle with Leif. But when they had fought for a while, old Olmod, son of Horda-Kari, Leif's cousin, came to them, and gave them Ingolf. In that battle Holmstein fell, but Herstein fled.

Then Leif and his men went to war. But the following winter Herstein went to Leif and wanted to kill them, but they got a spy from his movement and met him. There was still a great battle, and Herstein fell there. After that, their foster brothers scattered their friends from Firðafylk. Then men were sent to meet Earl Atli and Hástein to offer reconciliation, and they agreed that Leif and his men would pay their property to the father and son.

But the foster-brothers built a large ship that they owned, and began to search for the land that Hrafna-Flóki had found, and then Iceland was called. They found the land and were in the Eastfjords in Álftafjörður the south. It seems to them that the country is better south than north. They spent one winter in the country and then returned to Norway.

Chapter 5

After that, Ingólfur spent their money on a trip to Iceland, but Leifur went to war in the West Vikings.

He invaded Ireland and found many earthen houses there. And he went in, and was darkened, until he had shewed the sword of the man that held it. Leif killed that man, and took the sword and much money from him; then he was called Hjorleif.

Hjörleifur raided many parts of Ireland and got a lot of money there; there he took ten slaves, who were so named: Dufþakur and Geirrod, Skjaldbjörn, Halldór and Drafdittur; no more are mentioned. But after that Hjorleif went to Norway, and there found Ingolf his stepbrother. He had previously married Helga Arnardóttir, Ingólfur's sister.

This winter Ingolf got a great sacrifice and sought refuge in his publishing house, but Hjorleif never wanted to sacrifice. The news referred Ingólfur to Iceland.

After that, each of their brothers-in-law prepared for their trip to Iceland; Hjorleif had his booty on a ship, but Ingolfur had their company money, and put to sea when they were ready.

Chapter 6

One summer, when Ingolf and his men went to build Iceland, Harald the Fair-haired had been king of Norway for twelve years; Six thousand years and seventy-three winters have passed since the beginning of this world, and eight hundred (seventy-four years) from the incarnation of the Lord.

They were together until they saw Iceland; then parted with them.

When Ingolfur saw Iceland, he shot overboard the pillars of his spirit for good; he ordered that he should dwell there when the pillars came ashore.

Ingolfur took land there which is now called Ingolfshofdi, but Hjorleif drifted west of land, and he got little water. Then the Irish slaves took the advice to knead flour and butter together and called it thirsty; they called it a roof. And when it was ready, there was a great rain, and they took water from the tents. But when the minaret began to mold, they threw it overboard, and drove it ashore, which is now called Minnthakseyr.

Hjörleifur took land at Hjörleifshöfði, and there was a fjord there, and the bottom looked in towards the headland. Hjörleifur had two huts built there, and the other ruin is eighteen cubits long and the other nineteen. Hjörleifur spent the winter there.

But in the spring he wanted to see; he had one ox, and he had the slaves pay the dividends.

But when Hjorleif and his men were at the hut, Dufthakur advised that they should kill the ox, and say that a forest bear had killed them, but then they should attack Hjorleif, if they sought the bear.

After that they told Hjorleif this. And as they went in search of the bear, and scattered themselves in the wood, the servants came upon every one of them, and slew all of them. They ran away with their wives and chattels and the boat. The slaves went to the islands they saw in the ocean to the south, and prepared for a while.

Vífill and Karli were Ingólfur's slaves. Then he sent west by sea to seek his pillars of excellence. But when they came to Hjorleifshofdi, they found Hjorleif dead. Then they went back and told Ingolf the tidings; he mourned the killing of Hjorleif.

Chapter 7

After that Ingolf went west to Hjorleifshofdi, and when he saw Hjorleif dead, he said, "Little has been laid here for a good boy, whom slaves should be killed, and I see who will be so, if he does not want to sacrifice." Ingólfur had Hjörleif's grave made and provided for their ship and property.

Ingolf then went up to the headland, and saw the islands lying to the south-east to the sea; it occurred to him that they would have run there, for the boat was gone; they went to look for the slaves and found them where Eid is called in the islands. They were eating when Ingolf and his men came to them. They were terrified, and each ran his own way. Ingolfur killed them all. It is called Dufþaksskor, when he died. More of them ran for rocks, where they are taught since. The Westman Islands have been called there since the slaves were killed, because they were Westmen.

Ingolf and his wife had with them the wives who had been murdered; they then went back to Hjorleifshofdi; Ingolf was there another winter. But the following summer he went west by sea. He was the third winter under Ingólfsfell west of Ölfusá.

The losers, Vífill and Karli, found his pillars of excellence at Arnarhvolur below the heath.

Chapter 8

Ingolfur went down through the heath in the spring; he took up residence where his pillars of excellence had come ashore; he lived in Reykjarvík; there are still breathing columns in the kitchen. But Ingólfur took land between Ölfusá and Hvalfjörður outside Brynjudalsá, between and Öxará, and all the headlands out.

Then Karl said: "For evil we went through good districts, where we shall build this outcrop."

He disappeared on a broken and maid with him.

Vífli gave Ingólfur freedom, and built it at Vífilstóftar; Vífilsfell is named after him; (he) lived there for a long time, became a clear man.

Ingólfur had a hut built at Skálafell; from there he saw smoke by Lake Olfusvatn and found Karl there.

Chapter 9

Ingolfur was the most famous of all the settlers, for he came here to uninhabited land and built the land first; so did other settlers after his example.

Ingolf married Hallveiga Frodadottir, sister of Loft the Old; their son was Þorsteinn, who had the Althing established in Kjalarnes, before the Althing was established.

Þorsteinn's son was Þorkell máni, a lawyer, who has been one of the most pagan men, as far as people know. He let himself be carried by the sun's rays in his deadly plague, and hid himself in the hand of the god who had created the sun; he had lived as cleanly as the most moral Christians. His son was Thormod, who was then an all-powerful god when Christianity came to Iceland. His son was Hamall, father of Maas and Thormod and Torfi.

Chapter 10

Bjorn Buna was a good general in Norway, the son of General Veðrar-Grímur from Sogn; Grímur's mother was Hervör, daughter of Þorgerður Eylaugsdóttir hersis from Sogn.

From Björn, almost all the great men have come to Iceland; he owned Vélaugur. They had three sons; one was Ketill flat-nosed, another Hrapp, the third Helgi; they were good men, and much is said of their descendants in this book.

There was a man named Thord Skeggi; he was the son of Hrapp Bjarnarson Buna. Þórður married Vilborga Ósvaldsdóttir; Their daughter's name was Helga; she was owned by old Ketilbjorn.

Þórður went to Iceland and took land with the advice of Ingólfur in his settlement between Úlfarsá and Leiruvog; he lived at Skeggjastaðir. From Þórður, many great men have come to Iceland.

Chapter 11

There was a man named Hallur Godless; he was the son of Helgi the godless. The father and son did not want to sacrifice and believed in their power.

Hallur went to Iceland and took land with the advice of Ingólfur from Leiruvogur to Mógilsá. Hall's son was Helgi, who married Þuríður Ketilbjarnardóttir; their son was Þórður in Álfsnes, who married Guðný Hrafnkelsdóttir. Hall lived in Múli.

The fair-haired Harald rode west across the ocean, as is written in his story. He conquered all the South Islands so far west that no one has since acquired any more.

But when he went west, Vikings and Scots and Irish invaded the islands and plundered and plundered many places.

And when King Harold asked this, he sent west Ketil flat-nosed, Bjorn Buna's son, to work the islands again. Ketill married Yngvildur, daughter of Ketil, a general of Hringarik; Their sons were Bjorn the Eastern and Helgi Bjola. Auður the deep-rich and Þórunn hyrna were their daughters.

Ketill went west, but left behind his son Bjorn; he conquered all the southern islands and became chief over, but paid no tribute to the king, which was intended. The king then took possession of his property and drove his son Bjorn away.

Helgi Bjóla, son of Ketil flatnefs, went to Iceland from Suðureyjar. He was with Ingolf the first winter and, with his advice, took Kjalarnes all the way between Mógilsá and Mýdalsá; he lived at Hof. His son was Víga-Hrappur and Kollsveinn, father of Eyvindur hjalta, father of Kollsveinn, father of Þorgerður, mother of Þóra, mother of Ögmundur, father of Jón the holy bishop.

Chapter 12

Orlygur was the name of Hrapp Bjarnarson's son; he was fostered by the (holy) Patrek bishop in the Southern Islands. (He) wanted to go to Iceland and asked the bishop to take care of him. The bishop had him bring with him church wood and an iron bell, and a plenary and a consecrated ground, which he was to place under the cornerstones. The bishop asked him for land there, except when he saw two mountains from the sea, and build under the southern mountain, and there should be a valley in both mountains; he was to take up residence there and have a church built and owned by the holy Kolumba.

With Orlygur was a man on board a man named Kollur, his stepbrother, another Thorolf Spur, a third Thorbjorn the gill, and his brother, Thorbjorn Skuma; they were the sons of Böðvar blöðruskalla.

Orlygur and his men set sail, and had a hard time outdoors, and did not know where they were going; then Örlygur called on Bishop Patrek to take possession of it, that he should give a place name on his behalf, where he would take land. They had been out there for a short time before they saw land, and had come west across the land. They took a place called Örlygshöfn, but from the fjord they called it Patreksfjörður. They were there during the winter, but in the spring Orlygur prepared his ship; but his thrones occupied some land, which will still be said.

Orlygur sailed west of Bard; but when he came south of Snæfellsjökull to the fjord, he saw two mountains and valleys in both. There he taught the land to which he was referred.

He then went to the southern mountain, and it was Kjalarnes, and Helgi, his brother, had settled there before.

Örlygur was with Helgi the first winter, but in the spring he took land on Helgi's advice from Mógilsá to Ósvíf (ur) slækjar and lived at Esjuberg. He had a church built there, which was recommended.

Orlygur had many children; his son was Valthjofur, father of Valbrand, father of Torfi, another Geirmund, father of Halldora, mother of Thorleif, from whom the Esjubergs are descended. Örlygur's cousins ​​believed in Kolumba.

The daughter of Orlyg the Old was Vélaug, who had Gunnlaugur ormstunga, the son of Hromund in Þverárhlíð; their daughter was Þuríður dylla, the mother of Illugi the Black at Gilsbakki.

Chapter 13

Svartkell was a Catholic man; he took land within Mýdalsá between (and) Eilífsdalsá and lived at Kiðjafell first and then at Eyri.

His son was Thorkell, Glum's father, who prayed for a cross: "Good for old men, good for honorable men." He was the father of Thorarin, the father of Glum.

Valþjófur, son of Örlygur the Old from Esjuberg, took Kjós all and lived at Meðalfell; from him have come Valþjóflingar. Signý was his daughter, Gnúp's mother, Birning's father, Gnúp's father, Eiríkur Greenland's father.

Chapter 14

Hvamm-Þórir took land between Laxá and Fossá and lived in Hvammur.

Thorir quarreled with old Ref about a cow named Brynja; the valley is named after her. She went out there with forty bulls, and all of them had come from her. Refur and Thorir fought at Thorisholar; there fell Thorir and his eight men.

Þorsteinn, son of Sölmundur Þórólfsson smjörs, took land between Botnsá and Fossá, Brynjudal all. He married Thorbjörg Katla, daughter of Helgi Skarf; their son was the old Fox, from whom Bryndælir is descended.

Now the men who have lived in Ingólfur's settlement are counted, west of him.

There was a man named Ávangur, of Irish descent; he first lived in Botni.

There was then such a large forest that he made a sea-ship out of it.

His son was Þorleifur, father of Þuríður, who married Þormóður Þjóstarsson á Álftanes and Iðunn Molda-Gnúpsdóttir. Þormóður's son was Börkur, father of Þórður, father of Auður in Brautarholt.

Kolgrímur the Old, son of Hrólf the General, took land from Botnsá to Kalmansá and lived on Ferstikla.

He married Gunnvara, the daughter of Hróðgeir the Wise. Their children were Thorhall, the father of Kolgrim, the father of Stein, the father of Kvist, from whom the Kvistlings are descended. Bergþóra was the daughter of Kolgrímur the Old, who owned Refur in Brynjudalur.

Chapter 15

Two brothers occupied Akranes all between Kalmansá and Aurriðaá; another was called Thormod; he owned land south of Reynir and lived at Holm. He was the father of Bersa and Þorlaugur, the mother of Tongue-Odd.

Ketill owned Akranes to the west and north of Akrafell to Aurriðaá. His son was Jörund the Christian, who lived in Garðar; there was then called Jörundarholt. Jörundur was the father of Klepp, the father of Einar, the father of Narfi and Hávar, the father of Þorgeir.

Chapter 16

There was a man named Ásólfur. He was Jörund's cousin in Garðar; he came out east of Os. He was a good Christian and did not want to deal with pagans and did not want to accept food from them.

He built a hut under Eyjafjöll, where it is now called Ásólfsskáli the easternmost; he did not find men. Then he wondered what he had for food, and people in the hut saw many fish. But when men went to the creek that fell by the hut, it was full of fish, so that no one seemed to have seen such wonders. But when the people of the district heard this, they chased him away and did not want him to enjoy this quality. Then Ásólfur moved his settlement to Miðskáli and stayed there. Then all the doctors who were supposed to take part in the fishing disappeared. But when they came to Asolf, the waterfall was full of fish, which fell by his hut. He was then still broken fired. He then went to the westernmost Ásólfsskáli, and everything still went the same way. But when he left there, he went to meet his uncle Jörund, and invited Asolf to be with him;

Then Jorund had a house built for him in the inner Holm, and brought him food there, and he was there while he lived, and there he was buried. There now stands a church, which is his way, and he is called the holiest man.

Chapter 17

There was a man named Beigan, who took land in the settlement of Ketil from Berjadalsá to Aurriðaá and lived at Beigansstaðir.

Fiður the rich Halldórsson Högnason, he took land south of Laxá and to Kalmansá and lived at Miðfell; his son was Þorgeir, father of Jósteinn, father of Þórunn, mother of Guðrún, mother of Sæmundur, father of Bishop Brand.

Hafnar-Ormur took land through Melahverfi out to Aurriðaá and Laxá and into Andakílsá and lived in Höfn; his son was Thorgeir Huggvinkinni, father of Þórunn, mother of Þórunn, mother of Jósteinn, father of Sigurður, father of Bjarnhéðinn

Þorgeir Huggvinkinni was a servant of King Hákon Aðalsteinsfóstur; he got a bruise and a good word on Fitjar.

Two brothers lived in the settlement of Finn and Orm, Hróðgeir the Wise in Saurbær, and Oddgeir at Leirá: but Finnur and Ormur bought them broken, because they thought it was cramped there.

The Hróðgeir brothers then took land in Flói, Hraungerðingahrepp; Hróðgeir lived in Hraungerði, and Oddgeir in Oddgeirshólar; he had a daughter Ketil steam.

Chapter 18

There was a man named Úlfur, son of Brunda-Bjálfi and Hallbera, daughter of Úlf the Fearless from Hrafnista. Úlfur married Salbjörg, daughter of Berðla-Kári; he was called Kveld-Wolf. Thorolf and Skallagrim were their sons.

King Harold, a fair-haired man, had Thorolf killed north of Alöst on Sandnes by the slander of Hildiridarson; King Harold did not want to make amends.

Then Grim and Kveld-Ulf made a merchant ship, and intended to go to Iceland, for there they had asked their friend Ingolf. They lay at sea in Sólundur. There they took the knoll which King Harold had taken for Thorolf, when his men had just come from England, and there killed Hallvard the hard-nosed and Sigtrygg the sharp-headed, who had caused it. There they and the sons of Guttorm Sigurd's son, the king's brothers, killed their hearts, and all their harbor except two men, whom they had told the king the tidings. They both built the ship for Iceland and thirty men on each; Kveldulf directed what was then obtained.

Grímur hinn háleyski Þórisson, Gunnlaugssonar, Hrólfssonar, Ketilssonarlefkara, was the guardian with Kveld-Úlf on the ship he steered. They always knew existed in the ocean.

And when the sea was very sick, Kveldulf took sick. He asked that a coffin be made for his body if he died, and then asked Grímur to tell his son that he would take up residence in Iceland a short distance from where his coffin would come ashore, if possible. After that Kveld-Wolf died, and was shot over the table of his coffin.

Grim and his men headed south across the country, for they had heard that Ingolf lived in the south of the country. They sailed west of Reykjanes and headed for the fjord. Divorced them with them, so that neither knew to others. Grim the Highlander and his men sailed all the way into the fjord, until all the puzzle was cut, and threw their anchors. But when the flood came, they moved up to a single estuary and led up the ship that was going; her name is now Gufá. They brought their possessions ashore there.

But when they explored the land, they had come a short distance from the ship, before they found Kveld-Ulf's coffin driven into a cove alone; they carried it to the headland that was there, and piled it up with stones.

Chapter 19

Skallagrim came to land, which is now called Knarrarnes in Myrar. Then he explored the land, and there was a lot of moorland and forests, far between the mountain and the shore.

But when they went in with the fjord, they came to a headland where they found swans; they called it Alftanes.

They did not let go until they found Grim the Highlander; Grim and his men told him all about their travels, and so what word Kveldulf had sent to his son Grim. Skallagrim went to see where the coffin had come ashore; thought to himself that a short distance away would be a good place to sleep.

Skallagrim was there during the winter, when he came from the sea, and explored the whole district. He took land from the outside of Selalón and the upper to Borgarhraun and south all the way to Hafnarfjall, a district as wide as rivers flow into the sea. He built a farm by the bay that Kveld-Úlf's coffin came ashore, and called it Borg, and so he called the fjord Borgarfjörður. Then he assigned the district to his comrades, and many men there took possession of land with his counsel.

Skalla-Grímur gave land to Grímur the Highlander south of the fjord between Andakílsá and Grímsá; he lived in Hvanneyri. His son's name was Wolf, Hrolf's father in Geitland.

There was a man named Thorbjorn the Black; he bought land at Hafnar-Orm from Selaeyri and up to Fossá; he lived on Skeljabrekka. His son was Thorvard, who married Thorunn, daughter of Thorbjorn of Arnarholt; Their sons were Thorarinn Blind and Thorgils Orraskald, who was with Olaf Kvaran in Dublin.

Skorri, the kettle of Ketil steam, took Skorradalur above water and was killed there.

Björn gullberi took Reykjardalur the south and lived at Gullberastaðir. His son was Grimkell the priest in Bláskógar; he married Signja Valbrandsdóttir, Valþjófsson; their son was Hord, who was before the men of Holm. Bjorn the gold-bearer married Ljotan, the sister of old Kolgrim. Svarthöfði at Reyðarfell was their second son; he married Þuríður Tungu-Oddsdóttir, their daughter Þórdís, who married Guðlaugur the rich. Thiostolf was Bjorn's third son, Geirmund's fourth.

Þorgeir meldún then all the lands to Björn above Grímsá; he lived in Tungufell. He married Geirbjörg, daughter of Bálki from Hrútafjörður; their son Véleifur the Old.

Flóki, a slave to Ketil's steam, took Flókadalur and was killed there.

Chapter 20

There was a noble man named Óleifur hjalti; he brought his ship to Borgarfjörður, and spent the first winter with Skallagrim. He took land on the advice of Skalla-Grímur between Grímsá and Geirsá and lived at Varmalæk. His sons were Ragi in Laugardalur and Þórarinn a lawyer who married Þórdís, daughter of Óláfur Feilan, their daughter Vigdís, who married Steinn Þorfinnsson. Raga's son was Guðþormur, father of Gunnvar, mother of Þórný, mother of Þorlákur, father of Rúnólfur, father of Þorlákur bishop.

Ketill Blundur and Geir his son came to Iceland and were with Skalla-Grímur the first winter; then Geir married Thorunn, daughter of Skallagrim.

The following spring Grim sent them ashore, and they took them up from Flókadalsá to Reykjadalsá and tongue them all up to Rauðsgil and Flókadal all above the slopes. Ketill lived in Þrándarholt; Blundsvatn is named after him, where he lived ever since.

Geir the rich son lived in Geirshlíð, but had another estate at Reykjar hinn efrum; his sons were Thorgeir Blundur and Blund-Ketill and Svarðkell á Eyri. Geir's daughter was Bergdís, who Gnúpur married Flókason in Hrísar; of that family was Thorodd Rice.

Grimur rowed for fish in the autumn with his house-carles, but the boy Thorir lay in a pole and was in a seal-bag, and pulled to his neck. Grim drew a marmalade, and when he came up, Grim asked, "What do you prophesy to us about our publishing house, or where shall we live in Iceland?"

Marmennill answered: "I need not prophesy to you, but the boy who lies in the seal-bellows, he will build there and land except when Skálm puts you under the splits."

They got no more words from him. But later in the winter Grim and his men rowed so that the boy was on land; then they were all lost.

Bergdís and Þórir went in the spring from Grímsey and west over the heath to Breiðafjörður; then Skal went before him and lay down old. Another winter they were on Skálmarnes in Breiðafjörður, but the following summer they headed south. Then Skálm went on until they came from the heaths south to Borgarfjörður, where two red sand dunes stood before them; there Skálm lay down under clefts under the outer mill. There Þórir took land south of Gnúpá to Kaldár below Knappadalur between the mountain and the shore. He lived at Rauðamel the outer. He was a great chief.

The slave of Laugarbrekka-Einar was called Hreidar: he ran after them and saw from Þúfubjörg where the slaves of Lón-Einar went; he ran after them and killed them both in Thralavik. For that, Einar gave him freedom and land as far as he could do in three days. It is called Hreiðarsgerði, where he lived ever since.

Þorbjörn the brave sued Geirríður Bægifótsdóttir for witchcraft, after which Gunnlaugur, his son, died of the disease he took, when he began to learn about Geirríður. She was Þórarinn's mother in Mávahlíð. For that reason the priest Arnkell was summoned to the twelfth obligation, and he carried it off, for Thorarin swore an oath to the stable-circle, and so quickly settled the matter.

But after that Thorbjorn the stallion disappeared on the mountain. He taught that to Thorarn, and went to Mavahlid, and set a duradóm. There were twelve of them, but Þórarinn and I were seven before: Álfgeir Suðureyingur and Nagli and Björn austmaður and three house-carles. They ran up the court and fought in the meadow. Auður, Þórarinn's wife, promised women to divorce them. One man fell from Thorarn, and two from Thorbjorn. Thorbjorn and his men went on a rampage and tied up their wounds by a pile of scales. Auður's hand was found in a field; so Thorarin went after them and found them by the garden. Nagli ran crying around them and up the mountain. There Thorarinn Thorbjorn weighed and wounded Hallstein to death. Five men fell from Thorbjorn there.

Arnkell and Vermund gave Thorarn and had a seat at Arnkel. Snorri the Priest spoke after Thorbjorn, and fined all who had been slain at Thorsnes Thing. After that he burned the ship of Álfgeir in Salteyrarós. Arnkell bought them a ship in Dögurðarnes and followed them around the islands. From this came the enmity of Arnkel and Snorri the Priest. Kettle warrior was then outside; he was the father of Hrodny, who married Thorstein, son of Viga-Styr.

Chapter 33

Þórólfur son of Örnólfur fiskreka lived in Mostur; therefore he was called Mostrarskegg; he was a great sacrificer and believed in Thor. He went to Iceland under the tyranny of King Harald the Fair-haired and sailed for the south of the country. But when he came west of Breiðafjörður, he shot overboard his pillars of excellence; Thor was cut there. He so ordered that Thor should come to the land where he wished Thorolf to dwell; so he promised to dedicate all his settlement to Thor and teach him.

Þórólfur sailed into the fjord and named the fjord and called it Breiðafjörður. He took land south of the fjord, closer to the middle of the fjord; there he found Thor driven into a headland alone; it is now called Thorsnes. They landed from there into the wagon, which Thorolf called Hofsvog; there he built his farm, and made a great temple there, and consecrated Thor; there are now called Hofstaðir. The fjord was then built little or not at all.

Þórólfur took land from Stafá into Þórsá and called it all Þórsnes. He had so much faith in the mountain that stood in the headland, which he called Helgafell, that no man should look there unwashed, and there was so much immunity that nothing should be lost in the mountain, neither money nor men, unless he himself walked on braut. It was the belief of Uncle Thorolf that they should all die in the mountains.

There on the headland, where Thor came ashore. Þórólfur had all the judgments, and a district assembly was set up there with the advice of all the locals. But when the men were there at the Thing, there should certainly not have been an aluminum smelter on land, and it was intended for this purpose to cut what is called Dritsker, because they did not want to defile such a sacred field as was there.

But when Thorolf was dead, and Thorstein his son was young, Thorgrim Kjallaksson and his brother-in-law Asgeir did not want to go to their eagles. The people of Thorsnes could not stand it, for they wanted to defile such a sacred field. Therefore Thorstein the cod-biter and Thorgeir the king fought with Thorgrim and Asgeir there at the Thing about the cut, and some men fell there, but many were wounded before they were divorced. Þórður gellir then reconciled; and because no one wanted to give up, the field was unholy with bloodshed. Then it was decided to move the broken from there the parliament and into the headland, where it is now; there was then a great sanctuary, and there still stands Thorsstein, when they broke the men about whom they sacrificed, and beside them is the circle of judgment, which men were to judge for sacrifice. There Þórður also convenes a quarterly assembly with the advice of all quartermen.

The son of Þórólf Mostrarskeggi was Hallsteinn Þorskafjarðargoði, the father of Þorsteinn surts the wise man. Ósk was the mother of Þorsteinn surts, the daughter of Þorsteinn rauð. Thorolf's other son was Thorstein the Codfish; he married Thora, daughter of Olaf Feilan, sister of Thord Gell. Their son was Thorgrim, father of Snorri the Priest, and Bork the Brave, father of Sam, whom Asgeir weighed.

Geirrid was the name of Geirrod's sister, who had married Bjorn, the son of Bolverk the blind man; Their son's name was Thorolf.

Geirríður and I went to Iceland after Bjarni's death and spent the first winter in Eyri. In the spring Geirröður gave his sister a home in Borgardalur, but Þórólfur went abroad and went on a voyage. Geirrid did not spare food for men and had his hut built across the highway; she sat on a chair and attracted guests outside, but the table was always inside with food on it.

Þórólfur came to Iceland after Geirríður's death; he challenged Úlfar to land and offered him a duel. Úlfar was then old and childless. He fell in his place, but Thorolf was wounded in the leg, and was lame ever after; therefore he was called a footstool. Þórólfur took land after Úlfar, and some Þorfinnur in Álftafjörður; he put on his freedmen, Ulfar and Orlyg.

Geirrod of Eyr was the father of Thorgeir Keng, who moved the farm from the ear up to the mountain; he was the father of Thord, the father of Atli. Þórólfur bægifótur was the father of Arnkel the Priest and Geirríður, who married Þórólfur in Mávahlíð.

Eiríkur then got Þjóðhildur, daughter of Jörund Atlason and Þorbjörg knarrarbringa, who then owned Þorbjörn the hawk-dell; Eiríkur then attacked from the north and cleared lands in Haukadalur; he lived at Eiríksstaðir near Vatnshorn.

Then Eiríkur's slaves fell on Valþjófur's farm in Valþjófsstaðir, but Eyjólfur saur, his cousin, killed the slaves at Skeiðsbrekka up from Vatnshorn. For that reason Eiríkur Eyjólf weighed faeces; he also weighed Hólmgöngu-Hrafn at Leikskálar. Geirsteinn and Oddur á Jörvi, Eyjólfur's cousins, spoke after him.

Then Eiríkur was made from Haukadalur. He then took Brokey and Oxney and lived at Töðir in Suðurey the first winter; then he gave Thorgest a seat. Then Eiríkur went to Öxney and lived at Eiríksstaðir; then he demanded the seats and did not get them. Eiríkur picked up the logs at Breiðabólstaður, but Þorgestur followed him; they fought not far from the yard to Drangir. Two of Thorgest's sons and several other men fell there. After that, both had a seat. Styr was given by Eiríkur and Eyjólfur from Svíney and the sons of Þorbrand from Álftafjörður and Þorbjörn Vífilsson, but Þorgesti was given by the sons of Þórður gellis and Þorgeir from Hítardalur, Áslákur from Langadalur and Illugi his son.

Eiríkur and his men were found guilty at Þórsnesþing. He built a ship in Eiríksvogur, but Eyjólfur hid it in Dímunarvogur, while Þorgestur and his men searched for him around the islands. Thorbjorn and Eyjolf and Styr followed Eirik out over the islands; he told them that he was going to seek the land that Gunnbjorn, son of Ulf the Crow, had seen, which he drove west through Iceland, when he found Gunnbjarnarsker; he said he would go back to his friends if he found the land.

Eiríkur sailed from Snæfellsnes, but he came outside to Miðjökull, where Bláserkur is called. From there he went south by land to look for it, if that was the builder. He spent the first winter in Eiríksey, almost in the middle of the western settlement. The following spring he went to Eiríksfjörður and took up residence there; he went that summer to the western wilderness and gave many place names. He spent another winter in Eiríkshólmur by Hvarfsgnípa, but the third summer he went all the way north to Snæfell and into Hrafnsfjörður; then he died at the bottom of Eiríksfjörður. He then returned and spent the third winter in Eiríksey at the mouth of Eiríksfjörður.

Later that summer he went to Iceland and came to Breiðafjörður; he was that winter at Holmslat with Ingolf. In the spring Thorgest and his men fought, and Eric was defeated; after that they were reconciled.

That summer Eric began to build the land he had found, and he called it Greenland, for he made it very clear that people would want to go there, if the land was well named.

So learned men say, that that summer half a dozen ships went to Greenland from Breiðafjörður and Borgarfjörður, but fourteen came out; some drifted back, but some were lost. It was fifteen winters before Christianity was legalized in Iceland.

Herjólfur was the name of a man Bárðarson, Herjólfsson, cousin of the settler Ingólfur. Ingólfur gave land to Herjólfur between Vogur and Reykjanes.

Herjolf the Younger went to Greenland, when Eric the Red inhabited the land. A Christian man from South Iceland was on board with him, the one who wrote the Hafgerðing murder; there is this theme in:

 

I beg the monks to try

meinalausan farar beina.

Heiðis holds high folds

the lord tilts me too high.

Herjólfur took Herjólfsfjörður and lived on Herjólfsnes; he was the noblest man.

Eiríkur then took Eiríksfjörður and lived in Brattahlíð, but Leif his son after him. These men took land in Greenland, who then went out with Eiríkur: Herjólfur Herjólfsfjörður; he lived in Herjólfsnes, Ketill Ketilsfjörður, Hrafn Hrafnsfjörður, Sölvi Sölvadalur, Helgi Þorbrandsson Álftafjörður, Þorbjörn glóra Siglufjörður, Einar Einarsfjörður, Hafgrímur Hafgrímsfjörður and Vatnahverfi, Arnlaugur Arnlaugsfjörður, but some went to Vestrabygg.

Thorkell was buried in a field in Hvalseyjarfjörður and has always walked around a farm there.

Álöf, daughter of Þorgrímur under Fell, took a nap; Hrafsi's men knew that, but he took Oddmar by her rest, and said he was in power. Then Thorgrim gave him Deildarey. Hrafsi said he would cut Oddmar on Björn before he made amends. Kjallakur did not want to let the island. Hrafsi took their money from a peat bog. Kjallak's sons followed and did not catch up. After that Eilífur and Hrafs jumped into the island. (An arrow came into Eilíf's gut's gut, and he was hammered. Björn hvalmagi weighed) Björn Ljótólfsson at play. Ljótólfur and his men bought from Oddmar that he should come to Björn. The young Kjallakur ran after him. He was not picked up until they took the boy. They weighed Kjallak at Kjallakshóll. After that Kjallak's sons Ljótólf and Þorstein went to an earth house in Fellsskógar, and Eilífur found another mouth; he went behind them and weighed them both. Hrafsi went to Orrastaðir at his invitation; he was in women's clothing. Kjallakur sat on a platform with a shield. Hrafsi struck Ásbjörn a fatal blow and went out over the wall. Þórður Vífilsson told Hrafsa that his ax lay in a well; he carried his shield. Hrafsi threw it at him when he saw Kjallaksson. They could not (fetch) him until they felled wood on him. Eilífur sat by when they (picked up) him.

Hjörleifur Hörðakonungur married Æsa the fair; their son was Ótryggur, father of Óblauð, father of Hogni the white, father of Úlf the white. Hjörleif's other son was Hálfur, who ruled Hálfsrekk; his mother was Hildur en mjóva, daughter of Högni (in) Njarðey. King Half was the father of King Hjor, who avenged his father with Solvi Hognason.

Hjör raided Bjarmaland; there he took the booty of Ljúfvin, the daughter of the king of Bjarma. She remained in Rogaland when King Hjor went to war; then she bore two sons; one was called Geirmund, and the other Hamund; they were very black. And her handmaid bore a son; his name was Leif, the son of Lodhatt the slave. Leif was white; so the queen exchanged boys with the handmaid and took possession of Leif. But when the king came home, he was angry with Leif, and said he was a petty man.

The next time the king went on a voyage, the queen invited the poet Bragi home and asked him to feel for the boys; then they were three winters. She hid the boys in Braga's living room, but hid in the platform. Bragi said this:

 

Two are inside,

I believe both well,

Hámundr and Geirmundr,

Hjörvi born,

but Leif the third

Loðhattarson.

You give birth to that one, woman.

Few will get worse.

He struck the wand on the platform where the queen was. When the king came home, the queen told him this and showed him the boys; he did not pretend to have seen such hellish skin. That is why they were later called both brothers.

Geirmund the Hellskin was a warlord; he invaded the western viking, but had a kingdom in Rogaland. But when he returned, when he had been away for a long time, King Harald had fought in Hafursfjörður with King Eirik Hordakon and King Sulka of Rogaland and Kjötvi the rich, and won. He had then conquered all of Rogaland and taken many men from his estates there. Geirmund then saw no other choice but to attack broken, for he received no honor there.

He then decided to seek Iceland. Ulf the Shy, his cousin, and Steinolf the Low, the son of Hrolf the General of Ogdar and Ondottir, the sister of Olvis the grandson, set out with him.

Geirmund and his men had a common fleet. And each of them steered his ship. They took Breiðafjörður and lay by Elliðaey; then they asked that the fjord was built to the south, but little or not to the west. Geirmund went in to Meðalfellsströnd and took land from Fábeinsá to Klofasteinar; he settled in Geirmundarvogur, but spent the first winter in Búðardalur. Steinólfur took land from Klofasteinar, and Úlfur west of the fjord, which will still be said.

Geirmund thought his settlement too small, as he had a large estate and many people, so that he had eighty freedmen; he lived at Geirmundarstaðir under Skarð.

A man named Thrond was thin-legged; he went to Iceland with Geirmund Hellskin; he was descended from Ogðar. Þrándur took islands west of Bjarneyjaflói and lived in Flatey; he had a daughter, Gil the Spoon-Nose; their son was Hergil Hnapprass, who lived in Hergilsey. Hergil's daughter was Thorkatli, who married Mar at Reykjahólar. Hergils married Thororna, daughter of Ketil Ilbreid; Ingjald was the son of those who lived in Hergilsey and married Gisli Súrsson. For that Bark the brave made the islands of him, but he bought Hlid in Thorskafjordur. His son was Thorarinn, who married Thorgerd, daughter of Glum (Geirason); their son was (Helga-) Steinar. Þórarinn was with Kjartan in Svínadalur when he fell.

Then Thrond lived thin-legged in Flatey, when Oddur Skrauti and Thorir his son came out. They took land in Þorskafjörður; Odd lived in Skogar, but Thorir went abroad and was at war; he got a lot of gold at Finnmark. With him were the sons of Hall of Hofstadir. But when they came to Iceland, Hall called for the gold, and there was a great quarrel there; of that became the story of the people of Þorskfjörður. Gull-Þórir lived at Þórisstaðir; he married Ingibjörg, daughter of Gil skeiðarnef, and their son was Guðmundur. Thorir was the greatest grandfather.

Geirmund went west to Strandir and took land there from Rytagnúp west to Horn and from there east to Straumness. There he made four estates, one in Aðalvík, which was preserved by his riverman; another in Kjaransvík, that Kjaran preserved his slave; third in the public to the west, that kept Bjorn his slave, who was guilty of taking sheep after Geirmund's day; of his fines became public: a fourth in Barðsvík, which Atli kept his slave, and he had fourteen slaves under him.

But when Geirmund went among his estates, he usually had eighty men. He was wealthy and had too much liquidity. It is said that his pigs went to Svínanes, and sheep to Hjarðarnes, but he had a seal in Bitter. Some say that he also owned an estate in Selárdalur in Geirmundarstaðir in Steingrímsfjörður.

Wise men say that he was the noblest of all the settlers in Iceland. He had little quarrel with men here; he came out rather old. Kjallakur and his men divided over the land that was between Klofningar and Fábeinsá, and fought in the fields outside Klofningar; there both wanted to see; there Geirmund did better. Bjorn the East and West of Eyr reconciled; then Vestar landed in Vestarsnes, when he went to the meeting.

Geirmund hid much of his money in Andarkelda under Skarð. He married Herríður Gautsdóttir, Gautreksson; Ýr was their daughter. Then he married Thorkatla, daughter of Ofeig Thorolfsson; their children Geirríður and ...

Geirmund died at Geirmundarstaðir, and he is put in a ship out in the woods from the garden.

Chapter 42

Steinólfur hinn lági son Hrólfur hersis af Ögðar took land from Klofasteinar to Grjótvallarmúli and lived in Fagradalur on Steinólfshjalli. He went up into the mountain and saw inside a valley large and overgrown with wood. He saw a clearing in their valley; there he had a farm built, and called it Saurbær, for there was a great moorland, and so he called the whole valley. It is now called Torfnes, when the town was built.

There was a man named Sléttu-Bjorn; he married Thurid, daughter of Steinolf the Low; he took, with the advice of Steinolf, the western valley of Saurbær; he lived at Slétta-Bjarnarstaðir up from Þverfell. His son was Þjóðrekur, who married Arngerði, daughter of Þorbjörn Skjalda-Bjarnarson; their son was Víga-Sturla, who built the farm at Staðarhóll, and Knöttur, father of Ásgeir and Þorbjörn and Þjóðrekur, the town is named after Kollafjarðarheiði.

Þjóðreki Slétta-Bjarnarson was considered too narrow in Saurbær; therefore he attacked Ísafjörður; there the story of Thorbjorn and Havard the Lame took place.

Óláfur belgur, whom Ormur hinn mjóvi drove on broken from Óláfsvík, took Belgsdalur and lived at Belgsstaðir, before Þjóðrekur and his men drove him broken; then he took in from Grjótvallarmúli and lived in Óláfsdalur. His son was Thorvald, the one who sold the blame for the sheep-taking to Thorarn Gjalland, Ogmund Vala-Steinsson; for that he weighed Ögmund at Þorskafjarðarþing.

He became a seafarer to Belarus; some call Ireland the Great; it lies west of the sea near Vinland the Good; it's a six - day voyage west of Ireland. From there Ari could not escape and was baptized there. This story was first told by Hrafn Hlymreksfari, who had been in Hlymrek in Ireland for a long time.

Then Thorkell Gellisson said that the Icelandic men, who had heard of it, said Thorfinn (earl) in the Orkneys, that Ari had been taught in Hvitermanaland, and could not break away, but was well respected there.

Ljótur took over the easterner in Vaðli; he turned his attention to Ásdís.

Gestur Oddleifsson attended an autumn invitation to Ljót; then Egil Vala-Steinsson came there and asked Gest to suggest that his father be compensated for the main war he fought over his son Ogmund. A guest wrote the beginning of Ögmundardrápa. Ljótur asked Gest what kind of man Thorgrim Gagar would be. The guest said that Thorarin, his foster-father, would become more famous, and asked Thorarin to see that no hair was wrapped around his head that lay on his tongue. Ljot thought this disrespectful, and asked in the morning what was the matter with Thorgrim. The guest said that his nephew Ulf would become more famous.

Then Ljotur became angry, and yet rode on his way with Gesti, and asked, "What will be my death?"

The guest said he did not see his fate, but asked him to be kind to his neighbors.

Ljótur asked: "Will the terrestrial lights, the sons of Grímur kögur, kill me?"

"Salty bites lice," said Guest.

"Where will it be?" said Ugly.

"Héðra nær," said Gestur.

An Eastman rode Gest up into the heath and supported Gest on his back when a horse crashed under him.

Then Gest said, "Luck has befallen you now, but soon there will be something else; make sure that it does not happen to you."

The Eastman found grave silver when he went home. And he took twenty pieces of money, and thought that he would go on later; but when he searched, he did not find; but Ljótur got him while he was digging, and made of him three hundred for every penny.

That autumn Þorbjörn Þjóðreksson was killed.

In the spring Ljotur sat with his slaves on one hill; he was in a cloak, and the hat was fastened around his neck and one sleeve on. The sons of Kögur ran up the hill and hit him both times; after that Thorkell fastened his hat to his head. Ljótur asked them to do well in their living quarters, and they fell from the hill on the street when Gest had ridden; there Ljótur died. The sons of Grim went to Hávarður lame. Eyjolf Gray gave them all, and Steingrim his son.

Chapter 50

Önundur Víkingsson, Þórður's brother in Alviðra, took Önundur (the whole fjord) and lived in Eyri.

Hallvard was suckling in battle against King Harald in Hafursfjörður; he went to Iceland from that war and took Súgandafjörður and Skálavík to Stigur and lived there.

Þuríður sundafyllir and her son Vala-Steinn went from Hálogaland to Iceland and studied Bolungarvík, and lived in Vatnsnes. She was called a swimmer, so that she fished in a famine in Hálogaland, that every channel was full of fish. She also set up Kvíarmið in Ísafjarðardjúpur and took care of every farmer in Ísafjörður. The sons of Vala-Stein were Ogmund and Egil.

Helgi was the name of Hrolf's son from Gnupufell; he was conceived in the east and raised in the motherland. Helgi went to Iceland to visit his nephew; he came to Eyjafjörður, and was then completely inhabited. After that he wanted to go abroad and was driven back to Súgandafjörður. He spent the winter with Hallvard, but in the spring he began to look for a home. He found a fjord alone and met a stern in a flood; he called it Skutilsfjörður; he then built there.

His son was Thorstein's misfortune; he went abroad and killed Earl Hákon Grjótgarðsson's servant, but Eyvindur, the earl's adviser, sent Thorstein to Vébjörn Sygnatraust. He received him, but his sister Védís let it go. For that Vébjörn sold his property and went to Iceland, when he did not trust to keep the man.

Þórólfur brækir studied south of Skutilsfjörður and Skálavík and lived there.

Eyvindur kné went from Ögðar to Iceland and Þuríður his spacious wife; they took Álftafjörður and Seyðisfjörður and lived there. Their son was Thorleif, who was mentioned before, and Valbrand, father of Hallgrim and Gunnar and Bjargey, who married Hávarður Halti. Their son was Olaf.

Geir was a nice man in Sogn; he was called Végeir, for he was a great sacrificer; he had many children. Vébjörn Sygnakappi was his eldest son and Vésteinn, Véþormur, Vémundur, Végestur and Véþorn, but Védís daughter. After Végeir's death, Vébjörn became dissatisfied with Earl Hákon, as mentioned earlier; so the siblings went to Iceland. They had a hard and long outdoor life.

In the autumn they took Hlöðuvík west of Horn; then Vébjörn went to great sacrifice; he said that Hacon that day sacrificed them unnecessarily. And it came to pass, as he was at the time of the sacrifice, that his brethren urged him to depart, and he watched not the sacrifice, and they let him go. That day they broke their ship under great cliffs in a storm; there they came up by force, and Vébjörn went before them; it is now called Sygnakleif.

But during the winter, Atli í Fljóti, Geirmund's slave of hellskin, received them all. But when Geirmund knew Atli's solution, he gave him liberty and the estate which he kept; he then became a great man.

Vébjörn studied in the spring for land between Skötufjörður and Hestfjörður, as far as he could walk during the day and the more he called Folafót.

Vébjörn was a great warrior, and there is a great story from him. He gave Védís Grímólfur in Unaðsdalur; they were reconciled, and Vébjörn killed him at Grímólfsvötn. Before that, Vébjörn was killed at the quarterly meeting in Þórsnes and three other men.

Gunnsteinn and Halldór were the sons of Gunnbjörn Úlfsson, a crow, by whom Gunnbjarnarsker is named; they took Skötufjörður and Laugardalur and Ögurvík to Mjóvafjörður. Bersi was the son of Halldór, the father of Þormóður Kolbrúnarskáld. Þorbjörn Þjóðreksson then lived there in Laugardalur, who killed Óláf, son of Hávarður halta and Bjargey Valbrandsdóttir; of which the story of the Ísfirðir people and the slaying of Þorbjörn took place.

Chapter 51

Snæbjörn son of Eyvindur austmanns, brother of Helgi magra, took land between Mjóvafjörður and Langadalsá and lived in Vatnsfjörður. His son was Holmstein, father of Snaebjorn the boar. Snæbjörn's mother was Kjalvör, and they were Tongue-Odd's nephews. Snæbjörn was raised in Þingnes with Þóroddur.

Hallbjörn son of Oddur frá Kiðjaberg Hallkelssonar, brother of Ketilbjörn the Old, married Hallgerður, daughter of Tungu-Oddur. They were with Odd the first winter; there was Snaebjorn the boar. The couple were in love.

Hallbjörn prepared for the journey in the spring; but when he was ready, Odd went from house to pool in Reykjaholt; there were his sheepfolds; he did not want to be with Hallbjorn when he went, for he suspected whether Hallgerd would go with him. Oddur had always improved with them.

When Hallbjorn had put on their horses, he went to the dyngju, and Hallgerda sat on the platform and combed himself; her hair fell all over her and down to the floor; she has been the best haired woman in Iceland with Hallgerður spin-off. Hallbjorn bade her get up and go; she sat and was silent; then he took her, and she did not rise. Three times that happened. Hallbjörn stood in front of her and said:

 

Beer karm leather, arms

oak firrumk it, play

Praise for reading letters

bound to me.

Waiting for a monk too bride,

evil makes me pale,

we touch grief in the heart

root, never remedy.

After that he snatched her hair around his hand and wanted to pull it off the platform, but she sat and did not get sick. After that he drew his sword and cut off her head, then went out and rode away. There were three of them together and they had two ponies.

There were few people at home, and was already sent to tell Odd. Snæbjörn was at Kjalvararstaðir, and Oddur sent him a man, asked him to provide for the anger, but nowhere did he say he would go.

Snæbjörn rode after them with twelve men, and when Hallbjörn and his men saw the aftermath, his companions begged him to ride away, but he would not. Snæbjörn and his men came after them to the hills now called Hallbjarnarvörður; Hallbjorn and his men went up the hill and defended themselves from there. Three men of Snæbjörn and both of Hallbjörn's companions fell there. Snæbjörn then cut off Hallbjörn's leg in the carving team; then he overturned to the south hill, and there slain two men of Snaebjorn, and there Hallbjorn fell. Therefore, there are three guards on that floor, and five on the other. Then Snaebjorn went back.

Snæbjörn owned a ship in Grímsárós; half of it was bought by Hrolf the Red. They were twelve each. With Snæbjörn were Þorkell and Sumarliði, sons of Þorgeir rauð, Einarsson of Stafhylting. Snæbjörn took over Þóroddur from Þingnes, his foster father and his wife, but Hrólfur took over Styrbjörn, who said this after his dream:

 

Bana sé ek okkarn

two classes,

all miserable

north of the ocean,

frost ok kulða,

feikn of any kind.

I know of such a thing

Snæbjörn veginn.

They went to look for Gunnbjarnarsker and found land. Snæbjörn did not want to explore at night. Styrbjörn got off the ship and found treasure in a haystack and hid it; Snæbjörn struck him with an ax; then the fund fell down. They made a hut, and laid it in a shed. Thorkell, son of Red, found that there was water on a fork, which stood out in a hut window; it was about good. Then they dug themselves out. Snæbjörn made a ship, but Thorodd and his men were building a hut at his hand, and Styrbjorn and Hrolf's hand; others went fishing. Styrbjorn weighed Thorodd, and Hrolf and they both Snaebjorn. The Red Sons swore an oath and everyone else took their own lives.

They took Hálogaland and went from there to Iceland in Vaðil. Thorkell had a scarf hole that had gone before the Rauðsson. Hrólfur built a fortress on Strandarheiði. Sveinung sent a scarf to his head; he went first to Myri to Hermund, then to Olaf at Drangar, then to Gest in Hagar; he sent him to Hrolf, his friend. Sveinungur weighed Hrólf and Styrbjörn; then he went to Hagar. The guest exchanged swords and an ax with him, and gave him two knuckle-horses, and had a man ride about Vadil all the way to Kollafjord, and Thorbjorn the strong demanded the horses. Þorbjörn killed him at Sveinungseyri, because the sword broke under the heroes.

Therefore Trefill clung to Gest, when their wisdom was reconciled, that he had come to Gest, that he himself sent a man to the head of his friends.

Chapter 52

Óláfur jafnakollur took land from Langadalsá to Sandeyrará and lived in Unaðsdalur; he married Thora Gunnsteinsdottir. Their son was Grímólfur, who married Védís, Vébjörn's sister.

There was a nice man named Thorolf in the Sogn; he became dissatisfied with Earl Hákon Grjótgarðsson and went to Iceland on the advice of King Harald. He took land from Sandeyrará to Gýgjarsporsá in Hrafnsfjörður; he lived at Snæfjöll. His son was Ofeigur, who owned Otkatla.

Örlygur son of Böðvar Vígsterksson went to Iceland for the tyranny of King Harald the Fair-haired; he spent the first winter with Geirmund in hell, but in the spring Geirmund gave him an estate in Aðalvík and the lands that lay there. Orlygur married Signya, daughter of Óblauð, sister of Hogni the White; their son was Ketill gufa, who married Ýri Geirmundardóttir.

Now include the settlement of Geirmund, as previously written, all the way to Straumness east of Horn.

Örlygur acquired Slétta and Jökulsfjörður.

Hella-Bjorn, son of Herfinn and Halla, was a great Viking; he was always an enemy of King Harald. He went to Iceland and came to Bjarnarfjörður with a shielded ship; then he was called Skjalda-Bjorn. He took land from Straumnes to Dranga, and he lived in Skjalda-Bjarnarvík, but had another estate on Bjarnarnes; there he sees great huts. His son was Þorbjörn, Arngerður's father, who married Þjóðrekur Slétta-Bjarnarson, their sons Þorbjörn and Sturli and Þjóðrekur.

There was a man named Geirolf, who broke his ship at Geirolf's snout; he then lived there under the rubble on Bjorn's advice.

Þorvaldur Ásvaldsson, Úlfsson, Yxna-Þórisson, took Drangaland and Drangavík to Enginess and lived at Drangir all his life. His son was Eiríkur rauði, who built Greenland, as mentioned above.

Herröður hvítaský was a noble man; he was killed by the advice of King Harald, but his three sons went to Iceland and settled on the shores: Eyvindur Eyvindarfjörður, Ófeigur Ófeigsfjörður, Ingólfur Ingólfsfjörður; they lived there ever since.

There was a man named Eiríkur snara, who took land from Ingólfsfjörður to Veiðilausa and lived in Trékyllisvík; he married Álöf, daughter of Ingólfur from Ingólfsfjörður. Their son was Flosi, who lived in Vik, when the easterners broke their ship there and made from a carnage ship what they called Trékyll; Flosi went abroad and was driven back to Öxarfjörður. From there the story of Böðmóður gerpis and Grímólfur happened.

Chapter 53

Onundur tréfótur son of Ófeigur burlufótur, Ívarssonar beytils, Önundur was against King Harald in Hafursfjörður and set foot there. After that he went to Iceland and took land from Kleifir to Ófæra, Kaldbaksvík, Kolbeinsvík, Byrgisvík, and lived in Kaldbakur until old age. He was the brother of Guðbjörg, the mother of Guðbrand kúla, the father of Ásta, the mother of King Óláf. Onund had four sons; one was named Grettir, the other Thorgeir Flöskubak, the third Ásgeir æðikollur, the father of Kalf and Hrefna, who owned Kjartan, and Þuríður, who owned Þorkell kuggi, and later Steinþór Óláfsson; the fourth was Þorgrímur hærukollur, father of Asmund, father of Grettir the strong.

There was a man named Thorbjorn Bitter; he was a Viking and a villain. He went to Iceland with his debt team; he took a fjord, now called Bitra, and lived there.

Some time later, Guðlaugur's brother, Gil skeiðarnefs, broke his ship out there at the head of what is now called Guðlaugshöfði. Guðlaugur came ashore with his wife and daughter, but other men were lost. Then Thorbjorn Bitter came to them and killed them both, but took a maiden and gave birth. But when this happened, Gil's nose parted, and he went and avenged his brother; he killed Thorbjorn bitterly, and still more men.

Guðlaugur is named Guðlaugsvík.

Bálki was the name of a man Blæingsson, Sótason of Sótanes; he was against King Harald in Hafursfjörður. After that he went to Iceland and took all of Hrútafjörður; he lived in Bálkastaðir both ways, but most recently in Bær and died there.

His son was Bersi the godless, who first lived at Bersastaðir in Hrútafjörður, but then he took Langavatnsdalur and had another estate there, before he got Þórdís, daughter of Þórhadd from Hítardalur, and took Hólmsland. Their son was Arngeir, father of Bjarnar Hítdælakapp. Geirbjörg was the daughter of Bálki, the mother of Véleif the Old.

Arndís the rich, daughter of Steinólf the low, then took land in Hrútafjörður from Borðeyri; she lived in Bær. Her son was Þórður, who used to live in Múli in Saurbær.

Chapter 54

Þröstur and Grenjuður, the sons of Hermund the Hawk, took land in Hrútafjörður from Borðeyri and lived at Melur. Hesta-Gellir the priest had come from Grenjaði, and Ormur frá Þresti. The son of Þrastar was also Thorkell of Kerseyri, the father of Gudrun, who married Thorbjorn Thyna, the son of Hromund the lame; they lived at Fagrabrekka. Þorleifur Hrómundarfóstur was their son. Hásteinn was still the name of Hromund's son; they were all about one council. Thorir was the name of the son of Thorkel Thrastarson; he lived at Melur; His daughter's name was Helga.

At that time Sleita-Helgi came out to Borðeyri and Jörund his brother; they were twelve free Vikings and boys in excess; they all went to Mela. Then Helgi got Helgi Þórisdóttir.

Hrómund and his stallions disappeared; Helgi and his men knew that, and Miðfjarðar-Skeggi sued them for theft to the Althing. But Hromund and his men were to guard the district, and had a good fort on Brekka. The Eastmen built their ship.

One morning a raven came to light on Brekka and galled loudly; then Hromund said:

 

Out heard swan countryside

sára þorns, es mornar,

soon arouses city tiredness,

blue-mountained slag.

So goal earlier, then cowardly

folknárungar váru,

Gunnar haukr, es gaukar

Gauts taste prediction said.

Þorbjörn said:

 

Looking forward to the hailstorm,

hræs es kemr at sævi,

mother demands breakfast,

already valkastar baru.

Your goal is the end of the day

oath of ancient hurt

hræva gaukr, es haukar

hildinga mead wanted.

At this time the easterners came to the fort, for the workers had not left again. The brothers went out, but the women said Hromund was too old and Thorleif too young to go out; he was fifteen years old. Then Hromund said:

 

Save me today from death,

draugr flatvallar bauga,

búumsk við Ilmar jalmi

before, nor yesterday too hired.

Shrimp little, though games

Heðinn fitjar's bouquet,

us vas before too market

age, with a red shield.

Easterners fell six in the fort, but another six jumped broken.

When Thorbjorn wanted to close the fort again, he was shot through with a reed; Þorbjörn took the beak out of the wound and put it between Jörund's shoulders, so that it came out into his chest. Helgi threw him behind him and then ran. Hromund was slain, but Thorleif was wounded to death. Hásteinn ran after them, until Helgi threw Jörund dead; then he disappeared again. Women asked for news; Hásteinn said:

 

Here have six, their seaweed

teatless, dead outside

swordsmen, swords,

sores on the breasts.

Think that half lies

heftendr law after.

Ovarian cysts below

unbearable burns.

Women asked how many there were; Hásteinn said:

 

Barka fur with more

fetla stígs at vígi.

There were four of us there

frændr ofstopa vændir.

But twelve of Gylfi's happy

gunnþing's motivations ran,

cold red weapons, they wanted

várs meeting to hurry.

Women asked how many had fallen from the Vikings; Hásteinn said:

 

Sjau has a pick-me-up

Svölnis garden to the ground,

blood fell hot on respect

power dew, nostrils chopped.

Remember pine trees more

Fjölnis þing but here

out on Ekkil's paths

Jalks mares skæ move.

 

Here are the heels

sound daltangar skjóma

animal, what committed four

day job is a sign.

But I, my lord, think,

the raven broke off the bait,

Gunnar ræfrs, at gæfim

bite peace little.

 

Wealthy people,

very thin deer, Gunnar,

drógumsk vér at vígi,

verkdreyruga cheese.

Wear shoulder pads

hildar table und skildi,

hunger, vesæritungur.

 

Hard vase rumbles, that's what we did

snarp flight grjótvarps.

They went to the sword to sing

sundr gráklæði Þundar,

before on the heel to rest,

they died more,

hjaldrs came for a while,

hækings viðir æki.

 

Hear the swan, there wounds

sigrstalls viðir falla,

benskári drekkr baru

hemorrhage, too cover the bile.

There got an eagle, but an eagle

carcasses are wrapped in carcasses,

sylg, es Sleitu-Helgi

guilt-ridden felt red.

 

Carried up by years

thank you volleyball

universal helmets,

but on the way they carried

beidendr godur leads

slope of the shoulder blades

hauðrmens shines red.

Helgi and his men left the same day and all were lost at Helgasker for Skriðinsen. Þorleifur was transplanted and lived at Brekka. Hásteinn went outside and fell on the long Worm.

Most settlements are now written in the West Fjords, according to scholars. It can now be heard that that quarter has built many great men, and from them have come many noble families, which can now be heard.

These settlers are the noblest in the West Fjords: Hrosskell, Skalla-Grímur, Sel-Þórir, Björn hinn austræni, Þórólfur Mostrarskegg, Auður djúpauðga, Geirmundur heljarskinn, Úlfur skjálgi, Þórður Víkingsson, although great-grandfathers remained larger in some families. But when farmers were counted in Iceland, there were nine hundred farmers in this quarter.

 

PART THREE

Settlement has now begun in the Norðlendingafjórður district, which has been the most populous of all Iceland and the greatest stories have been told, both old and new, which will still be written and is true.

Chapter 55

Eystein, the ill-fated son of Alf from Osta, took Hrútafjarðarströnd the easternmost part after Bálki and lived there for some winters, before he got Þórhildur, daughter of Þorsteinn rauð; then he attacked north of Dali and lived there. Their sons were Alf in Dalar, Thord and Thorolf the fox and Hrapp.

Haraldur hringur was the name of a man of great family; he brought his ship to Vesturhóp and spent the first winter near where he had landed and is now called Hringsstaðir. He took Vatnsnes all the way out to Ambáttará to the west, but to the east in to Þverá and over there across to Bjargaós and all that side save to the sea, and (lived) at Hólar. His son was Thorbrand, father of Asbrand, father of Solvi the Proud of Aegissida and Thorgeir, who lived at Holar; his daughter was Astrid, who married Arnmod Hedinsson: Hedinn was their son. Thorgeir's other daughter was Thorgerd, who married Thorgrim, son of Peter of Os.

There was a man named Sóti, who took Vesturhóp and lived under Sótafell.

Hunda-Steinar was the earl of England; he married Álöf, daughter of Ragnar loðbrókur. Their children were Bjorn, father of Auður Skökul, and Eiríkur, father of Sigurður Bjóðaskall, and Ísgerður, who married Earl Thorir of Vermaland.

Auðun skökull went to Iceland and took Víðidalur and lived in Auðunarstaðir. With (him) came out Thorgils his screaming companion, the father of Thorarin the Priest. Auðun Skökull was the father of Þóra mosháls, the mother of Úlfhildur, the mother of Ásta, the mother of King Óláf the Holy. Auður skökul's son was Ásgeir að Ásgeirsá; he married Jorunn, the daughter of Ingimund the Old. Their children were Þorvaldur, father of Dalla, mother of Bishop Gissur, and Auðun, father of Ásgeir, father of Auðun, father of Egil, who married Úlfheiður, daughter of Eyjólfur Guðmundarson, and was their son Eyjólfur, who was killed at the Althing, father of Orm, chaplain Þorlákur bishops. Another son of Auður Skökul was Eysteinn, father of Þorsteinn, father of Helgi, father of Þórorm, father of Odd, father of Hallbjörn, father of Sighvat the priest. Ásgeir's daughter at Ásgeirsá was Þorbjörg, a classmate.

Chapter 56

Ketill raumur was a nice gentleman in Raumsdal in Norway; he was the son of Orm skeljamola, Hross-Bjarnarson, Raumsson, Jötun-Bjarnarson from the north of Norway. Ketill married Mjöll, daughter of Ánar bogsveig. Thorstein was the name of their son; he weighed in the woods to Uppland at the urging of his father Jökul, son of Earl Ingimund of Gautland. Jökull gave him life. Then Thorstein got his sister Thordis. Their son was Ingimund the Old; he was born in Hefn with Thorir, father of Grim and Hromund.

Heiður völva predicted them all to live on the land that was then undiscovered west of the ocean, but Ingimundur says he should do it. Völvan said that he would not be able to do so, and said it as a token, that then a thing would disappear from his bag and would be found when he dug for his noble pillars in the land.

Ingimundur was a great Viking and always attacked the Western Viking. Sæmundur was the name of his partner from Southern Iceland. They came out of war at the time when King Harold went ashore and fought in Hafursfjörður with Thorir Haklang. Ingimund wanted to give to the king, but Sæmund did not, and there parted company with them. After the battle the king married Ingimund Vigdis, daughter of Earl Thorir the Silent; they Jörundur háls were his illegitimate children.

Ingimundur nowhere; therefore King Harald wanted him to seek his publishers for Iceland. Ingimundur did not pretend to have intended it, but still he sent Finn two in disaster to Iceland for his share. It was Freyr and made of silver. The Finns came back and had found the thing and did not get it; they referred Ingimund to a valley between two woods, and told Ingimund all the land, how it was done where he was to live.

After that Ingimundur begins his journey to Iceland and with him Jörundur háls his brother-in-law and Eyvindur sörkvir and Ásmundur and Hvati, his friends, and his slaves, Friðmundur, Böðvar, Þórir refskegg, Úlfkell. They took (Grímsárós) to the south of the country and all spent the winter in Hvanneyri with Grímur, Ingimundur's stepbrother. But in the spring they went north through the moors; they came to the fjord when they found two rams; they called it Hrútafjörður; then they went north through the provinces and gave place names in many places. He spent the winter in Víðidalur in Ingimundarholt. From there they saw mountains without snow to the south of the country, and went that way in the spring; there Ingimund taught the lands to which he was referred. Þórdís, his daughter, was raised in Þórdísarholt.

Ingimundur took Vatnsdalur all the way up from Helgavatn and Urðarvatn to the east. He lived at Hof and found his share when he dug for his pillars of excellence. Þorsteinn was the son of Vigdís and Jökull and Þórir hafursþjó and Hogni; The carpenter was the name of the maid's son and Ingimund, and the daughters Jórunn and Þórdís.

Ingimundur found naked and the two whites at Húnavatn. After that he went outside and gave the animals to King Harald; people in Norway had never seen a polar bear before. Then King Harold gave Ingimund a ship with a load of wood, and he sailed two ships north of the land, the first man for Skaga, and sailed up to Húnavatn; there is Stígandahróf near Þingeyrar.

After that Hrafn was an easterner with Ingimund; he had a good sword; he carried it to the temple; therefore Ingimund took the sword from him.

Chapter 58

Hrolleif the Great and Ljot his mother came out to Borgarfjörður; they went north through the countryside and got nowhere to go, before they came to Skagafjörður to Sæmundur. Hrolleifur was the son of Arnald, Saemund's brother; so he directed them north on Höfðaströnd to Þórður, but he got him land in Hrolleifsdalur; he lived there.

Hrolleifur fooled Hróðnýja, Una's daughter from Unadal. Oddur Unason sat before him and killed Ljot, his sister, but wounded him in the leg, for his tunic did not bite iron. Hrolleifur killed Odd and two other men, but two escaped; for that Höfða-Þórður made him a district culprit as far as streams parted to the sea in Skagafjörður.

Then Sæmundur sent Hrolleif to Ingimund the Old. Ingimundur put him down in Oddsás opposite Hof. He had a fishery in Vatnsdalsá by Ingimund, and he was to go out before the Hofsmen, but he did not want to go out before Ingimund's sons, and they fought over the river; then Ingimund was told. He was then blind and had a shepherd boy lead the horse under him on the river between them. Hrolleifur shot a spear through him. They then went home. Ingimundur sent the boy to tell Hrolleif, but he was dead in the first place, when his sons came home. Hrolleifur told his mother; she said she would then try whether Ingimund's sons or her acquaintance could be married more, and asked him to go first.

Þorsteinn was to try after Hrolleif and have a legacy of inheritance. Ingimund's sons did not sit on their father's throne.

They went north to Geirmund, and Thorstein gave him sixty pieces of silver to shoot Hrolleif away. They traced his footsteps north around the neck to Vatnsdalur. Thorstein sent his house-carle to Ace to spy; he recited twelve verses before going to the door, and saw a pile of clothes on the fire, and escaped from a red robe. Thorstein said that Hrolleif had been there, "and Ljot will have sacrificed for his longevity." They went to As, and Thorstein wanted to sit over the door, and could not reach for the Glacier, for he wanted to be there. A man went out and looked around; then another Hrolleif led after him. Jökull reacted and dropped a ski lift, but was able to throw a roller to his brothers. After that he ran on Hrolleif, and they ran down the slope, and Jökull became upper. Then Thorstein came, and they consumed their weapons. Then Ljot had come out and gone the other way; she had her head between her legs, but the clothes on his back. Jökull cut off Hrolleif's head and drove into Ljóta's face. Then she said it was too late, "now the earth would revolve before my eyes, but you would all be angry."

After that Þorsteinn chose Hofsland, but Jökull had the sword and lived in Tongue. Thorir had a priesthood and lived at Undunfell, and went berserk. Högni had Stígand and was a sailor. The carpenter lived in Smiðstaðir. Þorsteinn married Þuríður goddess, daughter of Sölmundur in Ásbjarnarnes. Their son was Ingolf the Fair and Gudbrand.

Then Eyvind his son came from the east and took over his father's warships, but Bjorn got Helgi, the sister of Ondottir the crow, and their son was Thrond. Eyvindur then went to the West Vikings and had fishing companies for Ireland. He married Rafarta, the daughter of King Kjarval of Iraq, and was confirmed there; therefore he was called Eyvindur the Eastman.

The Raforts had a son named Helgi; he sold them for foster care in Suðureyjar. But when they came out two winters later, he was hungry, so that they did not know him; they had broken him with him and called him Helga the lean; he was born in Ireland. But when he was old, he became a man of great respect; he then got Thorunn Hyrna, the daughter of Ketil the Flat-nosed, and they had many children. Hrólfur and Ingjaldur were their sons.

Helgi the lean went to Iceland with his wife and children; there was also with him Hámundur heljarskinn his brother-in-law, who married Ingunn, daughter of Helgi. The weekend was very mixed in faith; he believed in Christ, but named Thor for seafaring and harsh speech.

When Helgi saw Iceland, he went to inquire with Thor as to where he should take land, but the news pointed him north across the land. Then Hrolf his son asked if Helgi would go to Dumbshaf, if Thor referred him there, for the crew thought it a matter of the sea, when it was very late in the summer.

Helgi took land outside Hrísey, but inside Svarfaðardalur; he spent the first winter at Hámundarstaðir. They had a great winter.

In the spring Helgi went up to Sólarfjöll; then he saw that it was much blacker to see into the fjord, which they called Eyjafjörður from the islands that lay out there. After that Helgi carried on his ship all that he had, but Hamund stayed behind. Helgi then landed at Galtarhamar; there he shot ashore two pigs, and the boar's name was Sölvi. They were found three winters later in Sölvadalur; there were then seventy pigs.

Helgi explored the whole district during the summer and took over the whole of Eyjafjörður between Sigluness and Reynisness and made a big fire at each water source and then dedicated the whole district to himself. He spent that winter at Bíldsá, but in the spring Helgi moved his estate to Kristsnes and lived there while he lived.

In the transfer, Þórunn became lighter in Þórunnareyja in Eyjafjarðará; there she gave birth to Þorbjörg hólmasól. Helgi believed in Christ and therefore taught him his dwelling place.

After this, people began to build in Helgi's settlement on his advice.

Chapter 67

A bellows cut for me

Böggvir snöggvan,

but for Áleifur

mock ok verju.

So shall it be,

if we live,

finished with misery

Böggvir chopped.

Of that, Svarfdæla became a story.

Fork is more and more energetic

atglamrandi hamra

á live glottkylli

Geirhildur, why more.

Iron rod creates sheep,

hair on Hjaltaeyri

for a while women page.

Chapter 69

The old crow, mentioned earlier, became a rich man. But when Bjorn (his) brother-in-law died, General Grim called the king all his inheritance when he was a foreigner, but his sons were west of the sea. Öndóttir kept the money for Þrándur, her nephew.

But when Thrond was from the death of his father, he sailed from the South Islands so much sailing, that for that he was called Thrond very sailing. But when he had inherited, he went to Iceland and studied for a southern country, which will still be said.

But for that reason Grim Ondott died, when he did not get the money in the king's trust. But that same night Signy Öndóttir's wife carried all her chattels on board and took their sons, Ásgrímur and Ásmund, to her father Sighvats, but sent her sons to her foster father Hedin in Sóknadalur. But they did not go there, and wished to go to their mother, and came at Christmas to Ingjald Tryggvi in ​​Hvin. He received them at the urging of his wife, God.

The following summer, General Grim made a feast for King Audun, Earl Audun. But that night, when it was very hot at Grímur's, the sons of Öndóttir burned him inside, and then they took their foster-son Ingjald's boat and a pipe away. Auðun came to a planned party, and lost a friend there instead. Then the sons of Öndóttir came there early in the morning to the dormitory where Auðun lay, and shot a log on the door. Ásmundur kept two earl's house-carles, but Ásgrímur put a spearhead in the earl's breast and asked him to pay his father's fees. He sold three gold rings and a cloak of divine weave; Ásgrímur gave the earl a name and called Auðun a goat.

Then they went to Súrnadalur to Eiríkur ölfús, a landowner, and he took them. There lived Hallstein a horse, another country man, and they had a Christmas drink together, and Eiríkur gave earlier well and faithfully, but Hallsteinn later gave unkindly. He struck Eirik with an animal horn; Eirik then went home, but Hallstein sat behind with his house-carles. Then Asgrim went in alone, and inflicted a great wound on Hallstein, but they thought they had killed Asgrim. And he came out, and went into the forest: and the woman healed him in the house, and he healed him.

That summer Ásmundur went to Iceland and thought his brother Ásgrím dead. Helgi the lean gave Ásmundur Kræklingahlíð, and lived (he) at Glerá the south.

But when Asgrim was healed, Eirik gave him a longship, and he attacked west across the sea, but Hallstein died of his wounds. But when Asgrim came out of the war, Eric married his daughter Geirhild. Then Asgrim went to Iceland; he lived at Glerá the north.

King Harold sent Thorgeir the Hvinsver to Iceland to kill Asgrim. He spent too much winter at Kili in Hvinverjadalur and did not report revenge.

Ásgrímur's son was Elliða-Grímur, father of Ásgrímur and Sigfús, father of Þorgerður, mother of Grímur, father of Sverting, father of Vigdís, mother of Sturla in Hvammur.

Þorleifur gneisti, Arnar's brother, bought from Þormóður Þjóstarsson that he consecrated Örn; Thormóður had then come out to Eyrar. He then fired a shot so far from his hand that Arnar's fall in his short shot weekend. Then Hamund Gunnarsson and Thorleif spoke after Orn, but Mord gave them to the brothers; they did not steal money, but were to be district culprits from Flói.

Then Mord prayed for Eilif Thorkatla Ketilbjarnardottir, and they followed her from home to Höfðaland, and Eilif lived there; but for Sigmund he asked Arngunn, the daughter of Thorstein the Drangakarl, and he set out east into the country; then Mord and Rannveiga married their sister Hamund Gunnarsson, and he then attacked Hlidin again, and their son was Gunnar at Hlidarend.

Thorstein had his sheep counted from just twenty hundred, but then all the dishes ran away. Therefore the flock was so numerous, that in the autumn he saw who the cowards were, and had them cut down.

But last autumn, when he was alive, he said in sheep's clothing: "Now cut off the sheep you want; now I am cowardly or all the sheep are old, unless it is both." But that night, when he died, he drove all the sheep into the waterfall.

Hásteinn took land between Rauðár and Ölfusá up to Fyllarlækur and Breiðamýri all the way up to Holt and lived on Stjörnusteinar and then Ölvir his son after him; there are now called Ölvisstaðir. Ölvir had settlement all except Grímsá, Stokkseyri and Ásgautsstaðir, but Atli owned everything between Grímsá and Rauðá; he lived in Traðarholt. Aulvir died childless; Atli took after him lands and chattels; his freedmen were Brattur in Brattsholt and Leiðólfur in Leiðólfsstaðir.

Atli was the father of Þórður dofni, the father of Þorgils örrabeinsstjúp.

Hallstein was the name of a man who went from Sogn to Iceland, Hásteinn's brother-in-law; he gave him the outer part of Eyrarbakki; he lived on Framnes. His son was Þorsteinn, Arngrímur's father, who was killed at the funeral, his son Þorbjörn á Framnes.

Þórir son of Ása hersir Ingjaldsson, Hróaldsson, went to Iceland and took Kallnesingahrepp all the way up from Fyllarlækur and lived at Selfoss. His son was Tyrfingur, father of Þuríður, mother of Tyrfingur, father of Þorbjörn the priest and Hámundur the priest in Goddalir.

Hróðgeir the Wise and Oddgeir his brother, when Fiður the rich and Hafnar-Ormur bought a plot of land from their settlement, took Hraungerðingahrepp, and Oddgeir lived in Oddgeirshólar. His son was Þorsteinn öxnabodddur, Hróðgeir's father, Ögur's father in Kambakista. But the daughter of Hrodgeir the Wise was Gunnvor, who married old Kolgrim; that's where Kvistlingar came from.

Onund Bíldur, who was mentioned earlier, took land east of Hróarslækur and lived in Önundarholt; from him have come many great men, as before written.

Chapter 97

There was a man named Ossur the White, son of Thorleif of Sogn. Ossur killed a slave in the uplands, when he was at a wedding with Sigurd Hrisa; before that he fled to Iceland and first occupied all the Holtalands between Þjórsá and Hraunslækur; he was seventeen years old when he weighed the slaying. He married Hallveig Thorvidardóttir. Their son was Thorgrim Kampi, father of Ossur, father of Thorbjorn, father of Thorarin, father of Grim Tofuson.

Ossur lived in Kampaholt; his freedman was Böðvar, who lived in Böðvarstóft by Víðiskógur. Ossur gave him a share in the forest and left him childless. Örn from Vælugerði, mentioned earlier, sued Böðvar for sheep-taking. So Böðvar sold his money to Atli Hásteinsson, but he did not use the case for Erni. Ossur died when Thorgrim was young; then Hrafn Thorvidarson took over Thorgrim's treasury.

After Böðvar's death, Hrafn went to Víðiskógur and forbade Atli, but Atli thought he had. Atli and his four went for wood; Leiðólfur was with him. The shepherd told Raven that, but he rode after him with eight men; they were found in Orustudalur and fought there. Hrafn's house-carles fell two; he was wounded. One fell from Atli, but (he) was fatally wounded and rode home. Onund Bildur parted then and invited Atli to him.

Þórður dofni, Atli's son, was then nine years old. But when he was fifteen years old, Raven rode to Einarshöfn to the ship; he was in a blue coat and rode home at night. Þórður sat alone in front of him at Haugavað, not far from Traðarholt, and there he weighed a spear. There is Hrafnshaugur east of the street, but west of Hásteinshaugur and Atlahaugur and Ölvis. The slaying fell into his arms.

Þórður started from this; he then got Þórunn, daughter of Ásgeir austmannaskelfi, who killed the eastern harbor in Grímsárós for a robbery, when he was robbed east.

Thord was then two winters and twenty, when he bought a ship in Knarrarsund, and wished to claim his inheritance; then he hid a lot of money; therefore Thorunn would not go, and took them with him. Thorgils son of Thord was then two years old. Þórður's ship disappeared.

A winter later, Þorgrímur came to the rescue with Þórunn, son of Þormóður and Þuríður Ketilbjarnardóttir; he married Thorunn, and their son was Hæring.

There was a man named Óláfur Tvennumbrúni; he went from Lófót to Iceland; he took Skeið all between Þjórsá (and Hvítá and) to Sandlækur; he was very hammered. Óláfur lived at Óláfsvellir; it lies in Brúnahaugur under Vörðufell.

Óláfur married Áshild, and their son Helgi trausti and Þórir drífa, father of Þorkel gullkár, father of Orm, father of Helgi mother of Oddur Hallvardsson. Wade was the third son of Olaf, Gerd's father.

Thorgrim (micro-bone) thought of Ashild, when Olaf was dead, but Helgi cared; he sat in front of Þorgrímur at the intersection below Áshildarmýri. Helgi asked him to stop coming. Thorgrim did not let the children be in the mood. They fought; there Thorgrim fell. Áshildur asked where Helgi had been; he sang a verse:

 

Sink, there fell to Fill,

a friend of the lord came forward,

Micro-bone, but processed

singing loudly.

Ásmóður gave Odin

inherited boldness of boldness.

Guldum galga valdi

Gauts delay, but catch the raven.

Áshildur said he had beheaded himself. Helgi took a ride to Einarshöfn.

Hæringur son of Þorgrímur was then sixteen years old, when he rode to Höfði to find Teit Gissurarson with a third man. Teitur and his men rode fifteen to forbid Helgi to go. They were found in Merkurhraun up from Mörk by Helgahvolur; Helgi and he were three together, coming from Eyrar. Helgi and a man fell there with him and one of them Teit; in the embrace they fell slain.

Helgi's son was Sigurður hinn Landverski and Skefill hinn haukdælski, father of Helgi dýr, who fought with Sigurður, son of Ljót langubak, in Öxarárhólmur at the Althing. Helgi wrote about this:

 

Band's on the right,

got wounds from Ty bore,

I do not lie, lie,

linnvengis Bil, minni.

Hrafn was another son of Skefil, father of Grímur, father of Ásgeir, father of Helgi.

Chapter 98

Thrond, a very sailing Bjarnarson, the brother of Eyvind the Eastman, who is mentioned before, he was in Hafursfjörður against King Harald, and then became an exile and came to Iceland after the settlement; he took land between Þjórsá and Laxá and up to Kálfár and to Sandlækur; he lived in Throndarholt. His daughter was Helga, whom Thormod had a shaft.

A man named Ölvir was a nice man in Norway; he was a great viking. He did not have children thrown at spearheads, which was common among the Vikings at that time; therefore he was called a grandson. His sons were Steinolf, Una's father, who married Thorbjorn the salmon man, and Einar, father of Ofeig Grettir and Oleif Breid, father of Thormod Skafti. Steinmóður was the third son of Ölvis the grandson, the father of Konál, the father of Álfdís the Barreysk, who had Óleifur the fault. Konál's son was Steinmóður, Halldóra's father, who married Eilífur, Ketil's son.

The cousins, Ófeigur grettir and Þormóður skafti, went to Iceland and spent the first winter with Þorbjörn the salmon man his brother-in-law. But in the spring he gave them Gnúpverjahreppur, Ófeigur the outer part between Þverá and Kálfár, and he lived at Ófeigsstaðir near Steinsholt, but Þormóður gave him the eastern part, and he lived in Skaftaholt.

The daughters of Thormod were Thorvor, mother of Thorodd the Priest, father of Lög-Skafti, and Thorve, mother of Thorstein the Priest, father of Bjarni the Wise. Ófeigur fell before Þorbjörn the earl's warrior in Grettisgeil near Hæli.

Ófeigur's daughter was Aldís, mother of Valla-Brands.

Þorbjörn the salmon man took the whole of Þjórsárdalur and the whole of Gnúpverjahreppur down to Kálfár and lived the first winter at Miðhúsar. He had three winters before he came to Hagar; there he lived until the day of his death. His sons were Otkell in Þjórsárdalur and Þorkell trandill and Þorgils, father of Otkötla, mother of Þorkötla, mother of Þorvaldur, father of Dölla, mother of Bishop Gissur.

Þorbjörn jarlakappi was a man of Nordic descent; he left Orkney for Iceland. He bought land in Hrunamannahreppur from Mávi Naddoddsson, all below Selslækur between Laxá and lived at Hólar. His sons were Sölmundur, father of Sviða-Kári, and Þormóður, father of Finn, who married Þórormur in Karlafjörður. Their daughter was Álfgerður, Gest's mother, Valgerður's father, Þorleif beiskaldi's mother.

Bröndólfur and Már Naddoddssonir and Jórunn, daughter of Ölvis grandson, came to Iceland early in the countryside; they took Hrunamannahreppur, as far as the waters divide.

Bröndólfur lived at Berghyl. His sons were Þorleifur, father of Bröndólfur, father of Þorkel skotakoll, father of Þórarinn, father of Hall in Haukadalur and Þorlákur, father of Rúnólfur, father of Þorlákur bishop.

Már lived in Másstaðir. His son was Beinir, father of Kolgríma, mother of Skeggi, father of Hjalti.

Þorbrandur, son of Þorbjörn hinn óarga, and Ásbrandur his son came to Iceland after the settlement period, and Ketilbjörn referred them to the settlement above the mule that runs along Stakksá, and to Kaldakvísl, and lived in Haukadalur.

They thought the lands too small when the eastern tongue was then inhabited; then they increased their settlement and took the upper part of Hrunamannahreppur by sight from Múli to Ingjaldsgnúpur above Gyldarhagi. Ásbrand's children were Vébrandur and Arngerður.

Eyfröður the Old took his tongue east between Kaldakvísl and Hvítár and lived in Tongue; with him came Drumb-Oddur, who lived at Drumb-Oddsstaðir.

Chapter 99

Ketilbjörn was a nice man in Naumudalur; he was Ketilsson and Æsa, daughter of Earl Hakon Grjótgarðsson; he married Helga, daughter of Thord the Beard.

Ketilbjörn went to Iceland, when the country was widely inhabited by sea; he had a ship called Elliði; he came to Elliðaárós below the heath. He was the first winter with Thord the Beard, his brother-in-law.

In the spring he went up into the heath to look for land. They had a bed and made a hut; there is now called Skálabrekka. But when they went thence, they came upon what they called Oxara; they lost their ax there. They stayed under the mountain mule, which they called Reydarmúli; there they were left with the riots they had taken in the river.

Ketilbjörn took Grímsnes all the way up from Höskuldslækur and Laugardalur and all of Byskupstunga up to Stakksá and lived by Mosfell. Their children were Teitur and Þormóður, Þorleifur, Ketill, Þorkatla, Oddleif, Þorgerður, Þuríður. Skæringur was the name of one of Ketilbjörn's sons, laungetinn.

Ketilbjorn was so rich in chattels that he ordered his sons to strike a wooden cross into the temple, which they had done; they did not want it. Then he drove the silver up the mountain on two axes and Haki his slave and Bót his handmaid; they hid the money so that it could not be found. Then he killed Haka in Hakaskarð, and Bót in Bótarskarð.

Teitur married Álöf, daughter of Böðvar af Vörs Víkinga-Kárason. Their son was Gissur the White, the father of Bishop Ísleif, the father of Bishop Gissur. Teit's other son was Ketilbjörn, father of Koll, father of Þorkel, father of Koll Víkverjabyskup. Many great men have come from Ketilbjörn.

There was a man named Asgeir Ulfsson; Ketilbjorn gave him Thorgerd his daughter, and let her from home follow all the lands of Hlid above Hagagard; he lived in Hlíð the outer. Their son was Geir the Priest and Thorgeir the father of Bard at Mosfell.

Eilífur auggi, son of Onund bíld, married Þorkötla Ketilbjarnardóttir, and they followed her from Höfðalönd; there they lived. Their son was Thorir, the father of Thorarinn the Blessed.

Véþormur, the son of Vémund the Old, was a rich general; he jumped before King Harald east to Jamtaland, and cleared the marks for settlement there.

His son's name was Holmfast, and his nephew was Grim. They were in the West Vikings, and killed in the Southern Isles Earl Asbjorn skerjablesa, and there they took the spoils of his wife Álöf and his daughter Arneiður, and Hólmfastur got her and sold her into the hands of his father and made him a maid. Grim married Alofar, daughter of Thord Vaggagda, whom the earl had eight.

Grímur went to Iceland and took Grímsnes all the way up to Svínavatn and lived in Öndurðunes for four winters, and then to Búrfell. His son was Thorgils, who married Æsa, Gest's sister. Their sons were Þórarinn at Búrfell and Jörundur at Miðengi.

Hallkell, Ketilbjörn's brother, came to Iceland and was with Ketilbjörn the first winter. Ketilbjörn offered to give him land. Hallkatli thought it was inhumane to accept land and challenged Grím to land or fight. Grim went to fight with Hallkel under Hallkelshólar and fell there, but Hallkell lived there ever since.

His sons were Otkell, who was killed by Gunnar Hámundarson, and Oddur að Kiðjaberg, Hallbjörn's father, who was killed by Hallbjarnarvörður, and Hallkels, Hallvard's father, Þorsteinn's father, who was killed by Einar Hjaltlendingur. Hallkel Oddsson's son was Bjarni, Hall's father, Orm's father, Bárður's father, Valgerður's father, Halldóra's mother, who was married to Bishop Magnús Gissurarson.

Now it's time for Ingólfur's settlement. But those men who are now numbered have dwelt in his settlement.

Chapter 100

Þorgrímur bíldur, the brother of Önund bíld, took all the lands above Þverá and lived at Bíldsfell. His freedman was Steinrod, son of Melpatrix of Ireland; he acquired all of Vatnslönd and lived in Steinröðarstaðir.

Steinröður was left-handed. His son was Thormod, father of Kar, father of Thormod, father of Brand, father of Thorir, who married Helga Jonsdottir.

Old Ormur, son of Earl Eyvind, earl of Arnmod, son of Nereid, earl of old; Ormur took land east of Varmá to Þverá and all over Ingólfsfell and lived in Hvammur. His son was Darri, Arnar's father.

Earl Eyvind was with the rich Kjötvi against King Harald in Hafrsfjörður.

Elf the Egle jumped before King Harold of Ogdar from Norway; he went to Iceland, and brought his ship to the estuary, which is named after him and is called Alfsós; he took all the lands except Varmá and lived at Gnúpur.

Thorgrim Grimolfsson was Alf's nephew; he went out with him and inherited from him, for Alf had no child. The son of Thorgrim was Eyvind, the father of Thorodd the Priest and Ossur, who married Bera, the daughter of Egil Skallagrimsson. Thorgrim's mother was Kormlod, daughter of King Kjarval of Iraq.

Chapter 101

Þórir autumn darkness took Selvog and Krýsuvík, but Heggur his son lived at Vogur. Böðmóður, his other son, was the father of Þórarinn, the father of Súgand, the father of Þorvarður, the father of Þórhildur, the mother of Sigurður Þorgrímsson.

Molda-Gnúpssonir built Grindavík, as written earlier.

Steinuður the old, Ingólfur's cousin, went to Iceland and was with Ingólfur the first winter. He offered to give her Rosmhvalanes all except Hvassahraun, but she gave for the crochet spot and wanted to buy; she thought it was safer to quit.

There was a man named Eyvindur, Steinunn's cousin and foster-father; she gave him land between Kvíguvogabjargar and Hvassahraun. His son was Egil, father of Thorarin, father of Sigmund, father of Thorarna, mother of Thorbjorn in Krýsuvik.

Ásbjörn Össurarson, Ingólfur's nephew, took land between Hraunholtslækur and Hvassahraun. Álftanes all, and lived at Skúlastaðir. His son was Egil, father (Ossur, father) of Þórarinn, father of Óláf, father of Sveinbjörn, father of Ásmundur, father of Sveinbjörn, father of Styrkár.

Chapter 102

We have now heard about the settlements that we have heard have taken place in Iceland, but these settlers have been the noblest in the Southland quarter: Hrafn hinn heimski, Ketill hængur, Sighvatur rauði, Hásteinn Atlason, Ketilbjörn hinn gamli, Ingólfur, Örlygur gamli, Helgi Bjóla, Kolgrímur the Old, Björn the Gold Bearer, Onundur Breiðskegg

Thus do the learned men say, that the land would be fully inhabited in sixty winters, so that it has not since become more populated; many settlers and their sons lived.

When the country had been inhabited for sixty winters, these chiefs were the largest in the country: in Sunnlendingafjórðung Mörður gígja, Jörundur goði, Geir goði, Þorsteinn Ingólfsson, Tungu-Oddur, but in Vestfirðingafjórðung Egil Skalla-Grímsson, Þorgrímur Kjallaksson, Þórður galla north of Miðfjarðar-Skeggi, Þorsteinn Ingimundarson, Guðdælir, Hjaltasonir, Eyjólfur Valgerðarson, Áskell goði, but in Austfirðingafjórðung Þorsteinn white, Hrafnkell goði, Þorsteinn father of Síðu-Hall, Þórður Freysgoði. Hrafn Hængsson then had jurisdiction.

Wise men say that some settlers were baptized, those who inhabited Iceland, most of them who came west by sea. Helgi Magri and Örlygur the Old, Helgi Bjóla, Jörundur the Christian, Auður the Deep-eyed, Ketill the Foolish and even more men who came west across the ocean are mentioned for this purpose, and some of them thought Christianity well until the day of his death. And it came to pass in many places, that the sons of some of them built temples and sacrificed, and the land was full of hundreds of years.
