Laxdæla saga, part 5.

20.

Ólafur is pretty and shiny and gets a nickname "Peacock".

Þorbjörn: "Melkorka marry me!"

Melkorka: "No. Ólafur you should go to Ireland and meet my dad Mýrkjartan, that would annoy Höskuldur a lot."

Ólafur: "FFFFF I have no money for that!"

Melkorka: "Þorbjörn come back I'll marry you."

Ólafur goes to king Haraldur and his mother Gunnhildur begins to hit on him the moment she finds out Ólafur's Hrútur's 17-years old nephew. IDK but I'm calling cougar.

Later on Ólafur wants to sail to Ireland but still has no money, and Gunnhildur's like, don't worry about that and pays all his expenses. IDK but I'm calling sugar momma.

Anyway they sail to Ireland and there they find out that by the Irish law everything that's washed up on the shore belongs to the finder, and that the Irish habitually attack ships so that their contents will wash up on the shore. The locals plan just that so Ólafur makes sure he's dressed up to his finest, and true enough the Irish enter panic mode when they see all his bling.

Mýrkjartan: "Wth is all this noise."

Ólafur: "Hi grandpa!"

22.

Ólafur goes back to Norway after Mýrkjartan almost made him his heir over his own sons. Then king Haraldur begins to show a lot of interest in him and he goes home.

Höskuldur: "I want to marry you off asap. How about this Þorgerður who's the daughter of Egill Skalla-Grímsson? If you know anything about Icelandic sagas you know this is an offer you can't refuse."

Ólafur now struts his stuff around town and people keep swooning because OMG all that sex-appeal.

23.

Egill: "Ok this Ólafur sure is pretty. Deal."

Þorgerður: "DAD NO ew his mum's a slave!"

Ólafur: "Did you forget that I'm also a hottie hot hot hot like a very hot thing?"

Þorgerður: "Dad I changed my mind."

24.

Ólafur buys all of Víga-Hrappur's lands from Þórður, gets a baby daughter Þuríður and is in general rich and powerful and builds a huge home on the lands. Except that everyone sort of forgot that Höskuldur re-dumped zombie Víga-Hrappur exactly at the place where Ólafur built a barn. Whoops.

Anyway Ólafur has some horror flick worthy moments with the zombie but manages to burn Hrappur (no one ever likes Hrappur!) and everyone's sitting quietly at home again.
