Hoskuld Dala-Kollsson

Hoskuld Dala-Kollsson

Hoskuld Dala-Kollsson (c. 910-965) was an Icelandic godi or chieftain of the early Icelandic Commonwealth period. He was the son of Dala-Koll (Koll of the Dales) and Thorgerd Thorsteinsdottir, daughter of Thorstein the Red. His father died when he was a child and his mother married a landowner named Herjolf, who became the father of Hoskuld's half-brother Hrut Herjolfsson.Hoskuld was enormously influential in northwestern Iceland, particularly in the Laxardal region, and is one of the main characters of the first half of "Laxdaela saga". By his wife Jorunn he was the father of Bard and Thorleik and the grandfather of Bolli Thorleiksson. By his Irish concubine Melkorka he was the father of Olaf the Peacock and possibly of another son named Helgi.
