After that Ketill made a great feast, and at it he
married his daughter Thorunn the Horned to Helgi the Lean, as has
been said before. After that Ketill arrayed his journey west over
the sea. Unn, his daughter, and many others of his relations went
with him. That same summer Ketill's sons went to Iceland with
Helgi, their brother-in-law. Bjorn, Ketill's son, brought his ship
to the west coast of Iceland, to Broadfirth, and sailed up the
firth along the southern shore, till he came to where a bay cuts
into the land, and a high mountain stood on the ness on the inner
side of the bay, but an island lay a little way off the land. Bjorn
said that they should stay there for a while. Bjorn then went on
land with a few men, and wandered along the coast, and but a narrow
strip of land was there between fell and foreshore. This spot he
thought suitable for habitation. Bjorn found the pillars of his
temple washed up in a certain creek, and he thought that showed
where he ought to build his house. Afterwards Bjorn took for
himself all the land between Staff-river and Lavafirth, and abode
in the place that ever after was called Bjornhaven. He was called
Bjorn the Eastman. His wife, Gjaflaug, was the daughter of Kjallak
the Old. Their sons were Ottar and Kjallak, whose son was Thorgrim,
the father of Fight-Styr and Vermund, but the daughter of Kjallak
was named Helga, who was the wife of Vestar of Eyr, son of Thorolf
"Bladder-skull", who settled Eyr. Their son was Thorlak, father of
Steinthor of Eyr. Helgi Bjolan brought his ship to the south of the
land, and took all Keelness, between Kollafirth and Whalefirth, and
lived at Esjuberg to old age. Helgi the Lean brought his ship to
the north of the land, and took Islefirth, all along between
Mastness and Rowanness, and lived at Kristness. From Helgi and
Thorunn all the Islefirthers are sprung.
