In this episode, we continue our series of stories from the Northeast of Iceland. This time around, Helgi Droplaugarson goes head to head with the powerful chieftain Helgi Asbjarnarson. While Helgi D. makes life difficult for his rival by undercutting him at every chance he gets, Helgi A. takes it all with patience. Does Helgi A. have a good reason for holding back? Or is he just biding his time as he waits for the right moment to attack? There's only one way to find out. Listen, as Saga Thing presents The Saga of Droplaug's Sons!
The first part of this episode provides a bit more information on family connections and genealogies than usual. Please use Andy's handy genealogy to help you through it.
