CHAPTER XLVI.

OF GIZUR THE WHITE AND GEIR THE PRIEST.

There was a man named Gizur the White; he was Teit's son; Kettlebjorn

the Old's son, of Mossfell. Gizur the White kept house at Mossfell, and

was a great chief. That man is also named in this story, whose name was

Geir the priest; his mother was Thorkatla, another daughter of

Kettlebjorn the Old of Mossfell. Geir kept house at Lithe. He and Gizur

backed one another in every matter. At that time Mord Valgard's son kept

house at Hof on the Rangrivervales; he was crafty and spiteful. Valgard

his father was then abroad, but his mother was dead. He was very envious

of Gunnar of Lithend. He was wealthy, so far as goods went, but had not

many friends.
