Laxdæla saga

The Saga of the People of Laxardal

Guðrún Ósvífrsdóttir is told that her four dreams mean four husbands, and the saga spends its length proving it. Two foster-brothers both love her; she marries one and sends him to kill the other. Near the end she gives the sagas their most quoted line: I was worst to the one I loved most.
