The The Life and Death of Cormac the Skald (Kormáks saga) on Thorgils
Life And Death Of Cormac The Skald
attestation: Thorgils, brother of Cormac, was quiet and easy to deal with; after Ogmund died, Thorgils managed the farm under Midfiord-Skeggi's oversight.
"Thorgils was quiet and easy to deal with. When the brothers were grown up, Ogmund died; and Dalla kept house with her sons. Thorgils worked the farm, under the eye of Midfiord-Skeggi."
attestation: Thorgils questioned Narfi about the wedding party and learned that Steingerd had not known of the plan until the evening they arrived; Narfi told Cormac it would be easier to chase Steingerd on a fool's errand than to fight Bersi.
""Did Steingerd know this before?" "Not till the very evening they came," answered he; and then told of his dealings with Vigi, saying that Cormac would find it easier to whistle on Steingerd's tracks and go on a fool's errand than to fight Bersi."
attestation: Thorgils held Cormac's shield at the holmgang; Thord Arndisarson held Bersi's shield.
"Thorgils held his brother's shield, and Thord Arndisarson that of Bersi."
