Mr. Skallagrimur Kveldulfsson advised Mr. Oleifur hjalti to settle between rivers Grimsa and Flokadalsa. He built his farm at Varmilaekur (now county Baejarsveit).
The Saga of Njall the Wise mentions Hallgerdur langbrok’s residence there with her husband Glumur Oleifsson, who was killed by the wife’s foster father Tjostolfur at Mt. Tverfell.
