Egil's Saga
Chapter 69
CHAPTER LXIX.
Egil comes out to Iceland.
In
the summer Egil prepared his ship, and, when all was ready, at once set
sail for Iceland. His voyage sped well. He came to Borgar-firth and brought
in his ship just below his own house. He had his cargo conveyed home,
and set up his ship. Egil stayed in his home that winter. He had now brought
out very great wealth, and was a very rich man. He had a large and lofty
house. Egil was by no means meddlesome with other men's matters, nor generally
presuming when here in Iceland; nor did any try to encroach on what was
his. Egil remained at home now for years not a few. Egil and Asgerdr had
children thus named: Bodvar a son, and another son Gunnar; Thorgerdr a
daughter, and Bera. Their youngest was Thorstein. All Egil's children
were of good promise and intelligence. Thorgerdr was the eldest of the
children, Bera the next.
