horstein the Red. She was the mother of Greilad,
who married Earl Thorfinn, the son of Earl Turf-Einar, son of Rognvald
Mere-Earl. Their son was Hlodvir, the father of Earl Sigurd, the
father of Earl Thorfinn, and from them come all the kin of the Orkney
Earls. After that Unn steered her ship to the Faroe Isles, and stayed
there for some time. [Sidenote: Unn leaves the Faroe Isles] There she
married off another daughter of Thorstein, named Olof, and from her
sprung the noblest race of that land, who are called the Gate-Beards.

CHAP. V

Unn goes to Iceland, A.D. 895

Unn now got ready to go away from the Faroe Isles, and made it known to
her shipmates that she was going to Iceland. She had with her Olaf
"Feilan," the son of Thorstein, and those of his sisters who were
unmarried. After that she put to sea, and, the weather being favourable,
she came with her ship to the south of Iceland to Pumice-Course
(Vikrarskeid). There they had their ship broken into splinters, but all
the men and goods were saved. After that she went to find Helgi, her
brother, followed by twenty men; and when she came there he went out to
meet her, and bade her come stay with him with ten of her folk. She
answered in anger, and said she had not known that he was such a churl;
and she went away, being minded to find Bjorn, her brother in
Broadfirth, and when he heard she was coming, he went to meet her with
many followers, and greeted her warmly, and invited her and all her
followers to stay with him, for he knew his sister's high-mindedness.
She liked that right well, and thanked him for his lordly behaviour. She
stayed there all the winter, and was entertained in the grandest manner,
for there was no lack of means, and money was not spared. [Sidenote: Unn
takes land in Iceland] In the spring she went across Broadfirth, and
came to a certain ness, where they ate their mid-day meal, and since
that it has been called Daymealness, from whence Middlefell-strand
stretches (eastward). Then she steered her ship up Hvammsfirth and came
to a certain ness, and stayed there a little while. There Unn lost her
comb, so it was afterwards called Combness. Then she went about all the
Broadfirth-Dales, and took to her lands as wide as she wanted. After
that Unn steered her ship to the head of the bay, and there her
high-seat pillars were washed ashore, and then she deemed it was easy to
know where she was to take up her abode. She had a house built there
