Bersi: "Ólafur, can I foster one of your kids?"
Ólafur Peacock: "Sure thing old friend! Here you go!"
Bersi has gained a Halldór. Oh btw that pretty Steinvör is now his girlfriend and his wife Þórdís does not like this one bit. She doesn't like the fostering idea either.
There's a þing coming along and Bersi is letting people stay at his house on their way to the þing place. Except then he begins to sing ominous songs about wanting to kill people and speaks a lot with Halldór about how Vali, his wife's brother, has his cattle on their lands. Which Þórdís has actually allowed but you know how these sagas work.
16 b.
Bersi: "Steinvör, would you do me a big favour? Here's what I want you to do..."
Steinvör: *picks a fight with Þórdís*
Þórdís: "I HATE YOU"
Bersi: "I HATE YOU TOO everything according to the keikaku."
Steinvör: "Baaaaw Vali they all hate meeee~"
Vali: "It ok let me take you home to your dad."
Bersi: "Except it was all a trap." :D
Bersi + Halldór: *chopchopchopchopchopchopchopchop*

There's a Þorvaldur who marries Steingerður. This btw happened the same year as she divorced Bersi.
Kormákur: "What - I thought - I mean - well - er SEE IF I CARE."
Kormákur: "Make me a shirt."
Steingerður: "How about you go away instead moron?"
Kormákur: "YOUR HUSBAND IS LOWLY"
Steingerður: "WHAT - I'LL TELL HIM YOU JUST WAIT -"
18.
Þorgils and Kormákur sail to Norway when suddenly! A whale! Rising up from the ocean and being ugly! How dare it! Thankfully Kormákur kills it immediately.
Kormákur: "It was that witch woman Þórveig anyway. I'd know those eyes anywhere. Yeah yeah."
Then they go meet Hákon who's a king of Norway. He was that kid that was fostered by Aðalsteinn. He likes the two and they do the whole "kill lotsa people become famous" -thing.
Kormákur: "Lalalalaaa I miss that Steingerðurrr baby..."
Þorgils: "Well NOW you're constantly singing about her but when you were going to marry her you just dumped her at the altar."
Kormákur: "IT WAS NOT MY FAAAAULLLTT"
19 a.
Hákon dies, in comes a Haraldur who also likes Kormákur and Þorgils. There's warring in Ireland. Kormákur keeps singing wistfully about Steingerður wherever, whenever, which is prolly annoying as hell. I mean imagine you're going to fight this dude and all of a sudden he's like "Oh my darling oh my darlinggg oh my daaarling Steingerðuuur" and then kills you.
Annoying isn't it.
Anyway the good news is that Kormákur wants to go back to Iceland.
19 b.
Right when they come to land Kormákur meets- dun dun duuunnn - Steingerður! He picks her off her horse and they talk together for a long while and apparently things go ok-ish.
The crew spends a night at a local house and although they sleep in separate alcoves Kormákur makes sure Steingerður cannot sleep a wink by constantly singing all night long. Bob dammit Kormákur!
In the morning Kormákur's all angry because Steingerður won't accept a gift from him and flounces. What a nice guy.
20.
Kormákur keeps coming back though, having talks with Steingerður. This eventually begins to annoy her husband Þorvaldur and his brother Þorvarður (confusing, I know, blame the parents). Narfi has a great idea and teaches a really offensive song about Steingerður to a beggar and has him sing it near her and claim it's written by Kormákur. This probably would not work if the man in question was anyone but Kormákur but when it's him anything's more or less believable...
Steingerður: "WHAT THE EVERLIVING FU-"
Kormákur: "IT WAS NOT MY FAULT"
Steingerður: "THAT'S WHAT YOU ALWAYS SAY"
Kormákur: "NARRRFIIIIIII"
Kormákur: *chop*
