[[Egla,_25|Chapter 25]]: ''' þótti þeim það fýsilegt að leita til Íslands''': „In the Norwegian mother country, a state came into being, claiming the monopoly of the violence and the coercive use of the force by the country´s overlord. In Iceland, Norwegian emigrant families find breathing room in a society that rejects overlordship and royal monopoly of violence. The surely exaggerated memory of these contrastive developments structures a significant part of the saga´s action. The difference between Iceland and societies under the rule of princes, such as Norway and England, flows through the medieval text as a unifying undercurrent, contributing to the crucial dichotomy between the characters of light and dark brothers. “ (s. 14)==Links==
