Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sons of the Sea Kings The framework of this romantic tale of ancient Iceland is constructed on the basis of the Sagas dealing with events which occurred in that country at the end of the tenth century and the dawn of the eleventh. Kiartan, our hero, claimed descent from no less a person than Olaf the White, who was first of the Northmen to make of Dublin a royal burg for a line of Sea-Kings. In 872 Olaf the White fell in battle. His widow, Unn, or Audun as she is sometimes called, went to Scotland, where her son, Thorstein the Red, held sway. He, too, fell fighting, and Unn being obliged to leave the country took ship for Iceland, where many highborn Norse settlers had gone, to avoid the over-masterful rule of Harold Fair-Hair. Other dwellers had been there before the vikings´ coming: fishers first, then Irish hermits with cross and book, men of peace seeking lonely lands, that they might give more thought to God and the hereafter; but as a flock of crows will scatter when a lordly eagle wings its way towards them, so fled those hermits, before the Norsemen.
