The title is a mouthful, but some might call this saga an

underappreciated gem of medieval Iceland. 

Like the other warrior poet's sagas, we’ve got a love triangle.  This time Bjorn, a dashing swashbuckler who

sports the impressive title “Champion of the Hitardal People,” loses the girl

to his conniving rival, Thord Kolbeinsson. 

But this isn’t your average warrior poet saga.  Rather than a series of duels and fights,

these men trade verbal barbs in some of the raunchiest poetry saga literature

has to offer.  It isn’t all taunts and

insulting verses, however.  This saga has

some depth and strong characterizations that make it an instant favorite for

the men of Saga Thing.
