Can you offer any context? I lived in Iceland 49-50 years ago and while I spoke fluent Icelandic then, I can barely write my own name in it now.

There was a post on conpro and someone mentioned a book to read called "Gísla saga". The saga of Gísli the Outlaw.

It tells the story of Gísli, a tragic hero who must kill one of his brothers-in-law to avenge another brother-in-law. Gisli is forced to stay on the run for thirteen years before he is hunted down and killed. The events depicted in the saga take place between 860 and 980.

I looked this up on archive and found the book but they were all borrow books and in the wrong language for me. Then I saw this video.
