The same winter, Leif, the son of Eric the Red, was in high favor with
King Olaf, and embraced Christianity. But the summer that Gissur went to
Iceland, King Olaf sent Leif to Greenland, to proclaim Christianity. He
sailed the same summer for Greenland. He found some men in the sea on a
wreck, and helped them; the same voyage,[127] he discovered Vinland the
Good, and came at harvest time to Greenland. He brought with him a
priest and other religious[128] men, and went to live at Brattahlid with
his father Eric. He was afterwards called, Leif the Fortunate. But his
father Eric said, that these two things were opposed to one another,
because Leif had saved the crew of the ship, and brought evil men to
Greenland, meaning the priests.
