Chapter 26

There was a man named Asgrim. He was Ellidagrim's son. The brother of Asgrim Ellidagrim's son was Sigfus. Gauk Trandil's son was Asgrim's foster-brother, who is said to have been the fairest man of his day, and best skilled in all things; but matters went ill with them, for Asgrim slew Gauk.

Asgrim had two sons, and each of them was named Thorhall. They were both hopeful men. Grim was the name of another of Asgrim's sons, and Thorhalla was his daughter's name. She was the fairest of women, and well behaved.

Njal came to talk with his son Helgi, and said, "I have thought of a match for thee, if thou wilt follow my advice."

"That I will surely," says he, "for I know that thou both meanest me well, and canst do well for me; but whither hast thou turned thine eyes."

"We will go and woo Asgrim Ellidagrim's son's daughter, for that is the best choice we can make."

Kafli 26

Ásgrímur hét maður. Hann var Elliða-Grímsson, Ásgrímssonar, Öndóttssonar kráku. Móðir hans hét Jórunn og var Teitsdóttir, Ketilbjarnarsonar hins gamla frá Mosfelli. Móðir Teits var Helga, dóttir Þórðar skeggja, Hrappssonar, Bjarnarsonar bunu, Gríms sonar hersis úr Sogni. Móðir Jórunnar var Ólöf árbót, Böðvars hersis Víkinga-Kárasonar. Bróðir Ásgríms Elliða-Grímssonar hét Sigfús. Hans dóttir var Þorgerður móðir Sigfúss, föður Sæmundar hins fróða.

Gaukur Trandilsson var fóstbróðir Ásgríms er fríðastur maður hefir verið og best að sér gjör. Þar varð illa með þeim því að Ásgrímur drap Gauk.

Ásgrímur átti tvo sonu og hét hvortveggi Þórhallur. Þeir voru báðir efnilegir menn. Grímur hét og son Ásgríms en Þórhalla dóttir. Hún var kvenna fríðust og vel að sér.

Njáll kom að máli við son sinn Helga: „Hugað hefi eg þér kvonfang ef þú vilt mínu ráði fylgja.“

„Það vil eg víst,“ segir hann, „því að eg veit að bæði er að þú vilt vel enda kannt þú vel eða hvar hefir þú á stofnað?“

„Við skulum biðja dóttur Ásgríms Elliða-Grímssonar því að sá er kostur bestur.“
