r sons were Ottar and Kjallak, whose son was
Thorgrim, the father of Fight-Styr and Vemund, but the daughter of
Kjallak was named Helga, who was the wife of Vestar of Eyr, son of
Thorolf "Bladder-skull," who settled Eyr. Their son was Thorlak,
father of Steinthor of Eyr. Helgi Bjolan brought his ship to the south
of the land, and took all Keelness, between Kollafirth and Whalefirth,
and lived at Esjuberg to old age. Helgi the Lean brought his ship to
the north of the land, and took Islefirth, all along between Mastness
and Rowanness, and lived at Kristness. From Helgi and Thornunn all the
Islefirthers are sprung.

Ketill goes to Scotland, A.D. 890

Ketill Flatnose brought his ship to Scotland, and was well received by
the great men there; for he was a renowned man, and of high birth.
They offered him there such station as he would like to take, and
Ketill and his company of kinsfolk settled down there--all except
Thorstein, his daughter's son, who forthwith betook himself to
warring, and harried Scotland far and wide, and was always victorious.
Later on he made peace with the Scotch, and got for his own one-half

Thorgil's son, the Wise, writing of his death, says that he fell in
Caithness. Unn the Deep-minded was in Caithness when her son Thorstein
fell. When she heard that Thorstein was dead, and her father had
breathed his last, she deemed she would have no prospering in store
there. So she had a ship built secretly in a wood, and when it was
ready built she arrayed it, and had great wealth withal; and she took
with her all her kinsfolk who were left alive; and men deem that
scarce may an example be found that any one, a woman only, has ever
got out of such a state of war with so much wealth and so great a
following. From this it may be seen how peerless among women she was.
Unn had with her many men of great worth and high birth. A man named
Koll was one of the worthiest amongst her followers, chiefly owing to
his descent, he being by title a "Hersir." There was also in the
journey with Unn a man named Hord, and he too was also a man of high
birth and of great worth. When she was ready, Unn took her ship to the
Orkneys; there she stayed a little while, and there she married off
Gro, the daughter of T
