lxxxiv CHRONOLOGY AND OUTLINE OF THE STORY. itself as soon as Thiostolf tlie mischief-maker crossed Glum’s threshold ; husband and wife quarrelled, and, again Thiostolf’s axe set Hallgerda free. Twice a widow and barely twenty, with much wealth which she had got from her father and last husband, she remained single till she was thirty-five. Meantime, much had passed in the family, Hrut was betrothed to Unna, Fiddle Mord’s daughter, and went abroad 963, returned in 965, married Unna, was parted from her 968, disputed with her father about her portion at the Althing, and challenged him to fight in 969.* In 970, or perhaps in the follow- ing year, Gunnar of Lithend, who was born about 945, comes into the story; he took up his cousin Unna’s cause, and forced Hrut to restore Unna’s goods. When Mord died, 970-71, the great lawyer of the south, another greater than he was ready to fill his place, this was Njal, the man round whom the whole story turns. He was born about 930-935, nor do we hear much about him, as he was a man of peace and law, in a lawless blood-thirsty • Mord, though he died soon after, and though he is called by his daughter “an old man,” could not have been much more than sixty at the time. This is clear, both from the date of Sighvat’s coming to Iceland, as well as from the fact that it would have been thought disgraceful in Hrut to challenge a man worn out with years to fight. At sixty in those days, a man was thought to be still hale and hearty, and fit for anything.
