Though Erik the Red was a legend of history not all his actions were heroic. Apart from foundering Greenland Erik also committed a range of misdemeanours, most significantly his manslaughter which consequently got him exiled from Iceland.

This argument started after some of Erik’s thralls accidentally caused landside crushing the neighbouring farm belonging to Valthjof, for that reason, one kinsmen by the name of Eyjolf the foul and other kinsmen murdered Erik’s thralls.

    Hrafnkel Trial Paper

    Hrafnkel, in the eponymous Hrafnkel’s Saga, by modern standards would certainly be considered a ruthless murderer. However, it is necessary to take into consideration the time period and culture of this historic Scandinavian saga. The entirety of the Icelandic population was illiterate and as such the justice system established in 10th century Iceland was based mostly on a system of honor and violence. The laws of Iceland were not actually written down, but rather kept alive verbally. An oral oath was considered to be a legally binding contract. This system was a weak attempt at avoiding bloody feuds and altercations among the common people, amidst a governing system of honor and trust. Hrafnkel, the protagonist of Hrafnkel’s Saga, demonstrated this skewed justice system by asserting himself as a Chieftain and bringing wrath upon his enemies or anybody who crossed his word. Thus, when Einar broke his oral agreement with Hrafnkel, Einar essentially broke a legally binding contract and was consequently subject to the full penalty of their agreement. Therefore, Hrafnkel, who agreed to kill anybody who rode his beloved horse, Freyfaxi, was then not guilty in committing murder as he was not breaking any Icelandic laws and was simply committing to his contract with Einar.…
