Greenland saga relates to the colonization of Greenland by the viking of what nationality?
Erik the Red Erik Thorvaldsson (Old Norse: "Eiríkr Þorvaldsson" ; 950 – c. 1003), known as Erik the Red (Old Norse: "Eiríkr hinn rauði" ) was a Norwegian Viking, remembered in medieval and Icelandic saga sources as having founded the first Norse settlement in Greenland. The Icelandic tradition indicates that he was born in the Jæren district of Rogaland, Norway, as the son of Þorvald Ásvaldsson, he therefore also appears, patronymically, as Erik Thorvaldsson ("Eiríkr Þorvaldsson"). The appellation "the Red" most likely refers to his hair color and the color of his beard. Leif Erikson, the famous Icelandic explorer, was Erik's son.
Lagertha Lagertha was, according to legend, a Viking shieldmaiden and ruler from what is now Norway, and the onetime wife of the famous Viking Ragnar Lodbrok. Her tale, as recorded by the chronicler Saxo in the 12th century, may be a reflection of tales about Thorgerd (Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr), a Norse deity.
