The Saga of Grettir the Strong #5 | Grettir comes into his outlawry

This is chapter 5 of Grettir's saga, written by Allen French. Grettir's saga is one of the most famous sagas told in Iceland, which supposedly took place between the ninth and the eleventh centuries in Iceland and Norway. In chapter 5, Grettir becomes bored with his current situation, but when the news came to him that Olaf Haraldsson became the King of Norway he set out to Norway in order to serve him. However, landing in Norway, people accused him of burning men alive, which brings Grettir into serious trouble. Did he really do it and how did everything turn out for him? Find it out!
