Grongu-Hrolf is a fairly unique name, and there is someone historical who shares it. The author of this saga is at pains to point out that his story is fiction, and not related to the historical person: https://core.ac.uk/reader/233573430
Grongu-Hrolfs Saga has a lot of powerful men in. A lot. It’s been proposed that this saga is about men and for men, so that they can see power and vulnerability through gender. You can read a summary of a book about it here: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/masculinities-in-old-norse-literature/vulnerable-masculinities-and-the-vicissitudes-of-power-in-gonguhrolfs-saga/2D67FA8905CD0E46211094189B14FABC
And that whole feet off, then back on again bit? There’s a paper here that looks at defensiveness in narrators in Icelandic sagas: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/staffpages/uploads/his221/history-or-fiction.pdf
