Viglund (son of the Godi) and Bryndis (local Seidkona) went to Egil’s house. Egil, being a rich local fisherman, invited them in and drank mead with Viglund. Bryndis took leave and disappeared outside. Moments later, Bryndis was shouting for help and Viglund rushed outside. When Egil followed, he found Viglund and his Huscarl Thorolf fighting in the street. Viglund killed Thorolf. Olaf (Egil’s Thrall) said that Bryndis lured Thorolf into a trap and that it was a set-up, the Huscarl was murdered! Bryndis was hurt in the process and is currently unconscious, recovering. Viglund claims that he was there to give back some money that Thorolf gave Bryndis in an attempt to woo her, and that she felt like he was going to hurt her, so she enlisted him to come and give the gift back and reject Thorolf’s advances, but Olaf claims that it was all a setup – that Bryndis enticed Thorolf but that it was all just to kill Thorolf for some perceived crime against her former lover, Steinar (recently slain in a viking raid).

What’s the process, here? There’s likely to be a trial, but Thorolf has no family to speak of and the only actual witnesses are Bryndis and the Thrall, Olaf. What do you think, O sages?
