A widow builds a ship in secret, sails to Iceland, and plans her own funeral feast, and her family still ends up quarrelling over her land. I'm Rob, your host, and this is Iceland Daily and the Sagas, your morning walk through Iceland today and its medieval sagas. First, three stories from Iceland: the 2,000-tonne deck of the new Ölfusá bridge at Selfoss is being pulled across the river, half a metre at a time (Vegagerðin, RÚV); record investment of about 57 billion krónur in Icelandic data centres this year (RÚV, mbl.is); and an Oktoberfest with craft beer from around Iceland at Lake Mývatn this weekend (mbl.is, Mývatn Öl). Then our theme: a contested inheritance. Auður the Deep-Minded, widow of a king of Dublin, has a trading ship built in a Scottish forest, sails by way of Orkney and the Faroes with Scottish and Irish freedmen aboard, is turned away by her stingy brother Helgi and welcomed by her brother Björn, loses her comb at Kambsnes, and settles at Hvammur. A generation later, Kambsnes is the land two of her great-grandsons fight over. We compare Hauksbók, Sturlubók, Laxdæla saga and Íslendingabók on her gifts of land, her Christian shoreline grave or pagan ship burial, and the feud between Höskuldur and Hrútur, and visit Hvammur, Krosshólar and Kambsnes. Tomorrow: Ketilbjörn the Old crosses the heath, loses his axe in the river at Þingvellir, and hides a hoard of silver that has never been found.
