trying to cover Eyrbyggja Saga in one episode…which they then totally fail to

do successfully.  So we present the first

of a two-part episode! Never fear, there’s plenty here to enjoy.  You’ll meet Snorri the goði and his rival

Arnkel Thorolfsson.   Listen as they

battle for control of Snæfellsnes Peninsula. 

This is a tale of fortunes and misfortunes, sweeping conflicts between

huge kin-groups, the rise and fall of chieftains, and the little people that

get swept up in the mess.  But it also

features a steamy love affair, a dispute over fine linens, and the exploits of

a spectral seal.  Don’t miss a moment!!!
