Viking Sword Erik the Red, Marto

Erik Thorvaldsson (950 - c. 1003), known as Erik the Red was a Norwegian Viking, remembered in medieval and Icelandic saga sources as having founded the first Norse settlement in Greenland. The Icelandic tradition indicates that he was born in the Jæren district of Rogaland, Norway, as the son of Porvald Ásvaldsson, he therefore also appears, patronymically, as Erik Thorvaldsson. The appellation the Red most likely refers to his hair color and the color of his beard. Erik the Red's father was banished from Norway for the crime of manslaughter. He sailed West from Norway with his family and settled in Hornstrandir in northwestern Iceland. After marrying Thjodhild, Erik moved to Haukadal (Hawksdale) where he built a farm. Erik then moved to the island of Öxney (Iceland). Popular history credits Erik as the first person to discover Greenland: according to records from the time, Galti headed the first Norse attempt to colonize Greenland, which ended in disaster. Erik the Red was the first permanent European settler.
