This is Ansgar:

He's not going to get killed just yet, I would say.

Also, the accounts of the settlement of Iceland all state that the settlers left because their kings at the time were a) exerting undue influence and b) converting to Christianity, while Iceland stayed heathen and converted to Christianity by democratic, unanimous decision in the year 1000 exactly -- so that house? Might have been Floki's...

Actually, now I say the name, this might be supposed to be our Floki after all:

Floki would have been the first person to deliberately sail to Iceland and to name the entire place!!!
