Bjǫrn, a relative of Egill Skallagrímsson in Egil's Saga, grows up at Borg á Mýrum, the homestead that has passed from Egill to his son and grandson. The main plot of the saga, which takes place near Snæfellsnes between the years 1000 and 1025, and is about the disagreement between Bjǫrn and his rival Thord (Þórðr skáld Kolbeinsson). Thord becomes friends with Bjǫrn in Norway. Thord promises to carry a marriage proposal from Bjǫrn to Oddny (Oddný Þorkelsdóttir), but he falsifies the message, spreads a rumour that Bjǫrn has died, and marries Oddny himself. The story ends after Bjǫrn's death as Thord is sentenced at the Thing (assembly). [1][2]
