Eyrbyggja saga, part 12

56

Snorri switches lands with a certain Guðrún. Check Laxdæla for details.

Then he goes to sue a Gestur for the killing of Styr. A Þorsteinn totally beats his case in the court tho, so Snorri chops him afterwards.

A new Þorsteinn springs into the story immediately, but this one's a different dude and not a zombie. Snorri's still mad over the Styr-thing and everyone on his side is mean to Þorsteinn just because he's on the opposing side. A fight ensues, Þorsteinn wants to chop Snorri but Kjartan (Þuríður and Björn's son) runs in between and begins to chop him right back. People eventually decide to break up the fight.

Snorri: "Nice work for a Breiðvik guy."

Kjartan: "That was sorta uncalled for."

Snorri then pays his fines over the fight really fast because he himself is currently being sued for the killing of the earlier Þorsteinn and his son. Those dudes who helped him with the task flee the country.



57

There's a dude called Óspakur and he's a total asshole.

A whale is washed ashore! It belongs to Snorri and so his men go cut it up.

Óspakur: "Gimme some too."

Þórir: "Yeah I'm sure someone could sell you so-"

Óspakur: "Did I mention anything about buying it?"

A fight ensues. Óspakur knocks Þórir out and steals a piece of whale.

58

Óspakur's got loads of men and his stolen piece of whale is soon eaten. He gathers some forces and goes and attacks an Álfur.

Þórir: "Except hello."

Óspakur: "FFFFFFFFFFF AXE TO THE BACK"

Þórir: "Kinda sad I was carrying a knife on my back right?"

Óspakur: *runs for it**well, it's kind of understandable*

59

Snorri wants to sue Óspakur but he disappears and causes some trouble elsewhere until the locals have had it with him and unceremoniously boot him out.

60

Well, Snorri doesn't let the absence of Óspakur trouble him: he seizes his possessions and deals them out to everyone Óspakur's stolen from. This does not please Óspakur who begins to raid people's houses. Þórir gets the chop, Álfur knows to expect a visit and manages a hasty escape.
