's friends were making preparations to attack him.
None of the money that was set upon Grettir's head did he get; Steinn
the Lawman would not allow it because of his dishonourable conduct;
nor was any blood-money paid for the men who had fallen on his side in
Drangey; they were set off against Illugi, an arrangement, however, with
which Illugi's kinsmen were not at all pleased.

Men rode home from the Thing, and all the feuds which had arisen
on Grettir's account were now at an end. Skeggi the son of Gamli,
son-in-law of Thorodd Drapustuf and sister's son of Grettir, went North
to Skagafjord with the assistance of Thorvald Asgeirsson and of his
son-in-law Isleif, who afterwards became bishop of Skalaholt. After
obtaining the consent of the whole community he took ship and went to
Drangey, where he found the bodies of Grettir and Illugi and brought
them to Reykir in Reykjastrand and buried them in the church. Testimony
of Grettir lying there is in the fact that in the days of the Sturlungs,
when the church at Reykir was moved to another place, Grettir's bones
were dug up, and were found to be enormously big and strong. Illugi was
buried later on the north side of the church, and Grettir's head was
buried in the church at his home in Bjarg.

Asdis remained in Bjarg and was so beloved that no one molested her any
more than they did while Grettir was an outlaw. The property at Bjarg
passed after her death to Skeggi Short-hand, who became a great man.
His son was Gamli, the father of Skeggi of Skarfsstad and of Alfdis the
mother of Odd the Monk, from whom many are descended.

CHAPTER LXXXV. THORBJORN GOES TO NORWAY AND CONSTANTINOPLE

Thorbjorn Angle embarked at Gasar with as much of his own property as
he was able to get. His lands went to his brother Hjalti, including
Drangey, which Angle gave him. Hjalti became a great chief later on, but
is not mentioned again in our story.

Angle went to Norway and still made himself very important. He was
supposed to have done a great deed of valour in slaying Grettir, and
many who did not know how it really happened honoured him accordingly;
but there were some to whom Grettir's fame was known. He only told so
much of the story as tended to his own glory, but whatever was less
creditable to him he omitted. In the autumn his account reached Tunsberg
and came to the ears of Thorsteinn Dromund, who kept very quiet, for
he had been told that Angle was a very doughty man and va
