Snorri Sturluson
After the lava falls, we stopped off to visit some land Snorri Surluson owned. Snorri Sturluson was a poet/historian/politician. Back in his day (1179-1241) it was kind of all one role. History was kept in the form of poetry. Lawmakers referred to history in their decision making. And Snorri was in the thick of it. He was a major land holder with seven chieftainships, five profitable estates, and an harbor. His first wife was an heiress.
