Chapter 91 - Grim takes the Christian faith.
Grim of Moss-fell was baptized when Christianity was established by law in Iceland. He had a church
built there, and ’tis common report that Thordis had Egil moved to the church. And this proof there is
thereof, that later on, when a church was built at Moss-fell, and that church which Grim had built at
Bush-bridge taken down, the churchyard was dug over, and under the altar-place were found human
bones. They were much larger than the bones of other men. From the tales of old people it is thought
pretty sure that these were Egil’s bones. Skapti the priest, Thorarin’s son, a wise man, was there at the
time. He took then the skull of Egil, and set it on the churchyard fence. The skull was wondrous large,
but still more out of the common way was its heaviness. It was all wave-marked on the surface like a
shell. Skapti then wished to try the thickness of the skull. He took a good-sized hand-axe, and
brandishing it aloft in one hand, brought down the back of it with force on the skull to break it. But
where the blow fell the bone whitened, but neither was dinted nor cracked. Whence it might be
gathered that this skull could not easily be harmed by the blows of weak men while skin and flesh
were on it. The bones of Egil were laid in the outer part of the churchyard at Moss-fell.

Chapter 92 - Of Thorstein’s descendants.
Thorstein Egil’s son received baptism when Christianity came to Iceland, and he had a church built at
Borg. He was true to the faith, and a good man. He lived to be old, and died in his bed; he was buried
at Borg by the church which he had built.

From Thorstein have come numerous descendants; many great men, many poets: they are of the stock
of the Myra-men, as are all who sprang from Skallagrim. It long held good of that kin that the men
were tall, and great warriors, some too were of prophetic sight. They were of two distinct types: for in
that stock have been born the handsomest men in Iceland, such were Thorstein Egil’s son, and Kjartan
Olaf’s son, sister’s son of Thorstein, and Hall Gudmund’s son, also Helga the fair, Thorstein’s
daughter (about whom Gunnlaug Worms-tongue and Skald-raven quarrelled). But the more part of the
Myra-men were very ill-favoured.

Of the brothers, sons of Thorstein, Thorgeir was the strongest, Skuli was the tallest. He dwelt at Borg
after the days of Thorstein his father. Skuli was long time out freebooting. He was forecastleman of
earl Eric on the Iron Ram when king Olaf Tryggvason fell. Skuli was in seven battles, and was deemed
a great warrior and a brave. He afterwards came out to Iceland, settled in the house at Borg, and dwelt
there till old age; many have been his descendants. And so ends this story.
