Let’s make our travel guide around Iceland full with places that have reference to the Sagas. Here you can find out more about the places you will visit during your stay. Did you know about the only sea battle of the country’s history or Sturlunga Saga battles.
During historical times chieftains and powerful individuals often used force to settle their arguments, and attacked their foes. Nowadays less blood is shed and people turn to the justice system, suffer or tolerate injustice!

According to the Book of Settlement, the Sturlunga Saga, and chronicles, murders, executions and slayings were common in Iceland. The average number of murders nowadays is close to two annually. Hope you’ll enjoy the reading and the stay at the places you visit.
