    CHAPTER I
    Of Ketill Flatnose and his Descendants,
    9th Century A.D.
    Ketill Flatnose was the name of a man. He was the son of Bjorn the Ungartered.
    Ketill was a mighty and high-born chieftain (hersir) in Norway. He abode in
    Raumsdale, within the folkland of the Raumsdale people, which lies between Southmere
    and Northmere. Ketill Flatnose had for wife Yngvild, daughter of Ketill Wether, who
    was a man of exceeding great worth. They had five children; one was named Bjorn the
    Eastman, and another Helgi Bjolan. Thorunn the Horned was the name of one of
    Ketill's daughters, who was the wife of Helgi the Lean, son of Eyvind Eastman, and
    Rafarta, daughter of Kjarval, the Irish king. Unn "the Deepminded" was another of
    Ketill's daughters, and was the wife of Olaf the White, son of Ingjald, who was son
    of Frodi the Valiant, who was slain by the Svertlings. Jorunn, "Men's Wit- breaker,"
    was the name of yet another of Ketill's daughters. She was the mother of Ketill the
    Finn, who settled on land at Kirkby. His son was Asbjorn, father of Thorstein,
    father of Surt, the father of Sighvat the Speaker-at-Law.
