Brennu-Njáls saga

Njal's Saga

Njáll is the finest lawyer in Iceland and Gunnarr of Hlíðarendi the finest fighter, and they are friends. Their wives are not, and the killings run on for a generation until Njáll and his household are burned alive in their own house. The longest saga here, and the one the others are measured against.
