Episode 40f - Ljósvetninga Saga (chapters 22-24)

Though Guðmund the Powerful has been laid to rest, tensions between the Möðruvellings and the Ljósvetnings continue into the next generation. In a bold move toward peace, Eyjólf Guðmundarson (the new leader of the Möðruvellings) attempts to create peace by forming an alliance with Þorvarð Hóskuldsson (grandson of Þorgeir Lawspeaker and leader of the Ljósvetnings). But there's a dark cloud on the horizon. A surprise pregnancy, questions of paternity, and a contested ordeal plunge the region into renewed chaos. As a result, Eyjólf soon finds himself defending his honor in an epic battle against Þorvarð and some pretty overwhelming numbers. Will he do his father proud and claim victory? Or will he lose more than just reputation in the fight? And do we even want Eyjólf to come out on top here? Join us for the most exciting and action-packed episode of this series. Along the way, we explore the finer points of trial by ordeal and medieval Icelandic paternity tests as well. There's so much content here, your head will be spinning!!!
