Listen "Episode 12b - The Saga of Bjorn Champion of the Hitardal People (Judgments)"
Episode Synopsis
In the second part of Saga Thing’s look at The Saga of Bjorn
Champion of the Hitardal People, John and Andy discuss the merits of the text,
argue over the size and ferocity of the dragon, investigate Thord’s ill-fated
encounter with a stranded seal, and share some interesting tidbits from
Icelandic law codes about pornographic sculptures and naughty poetry. We also outlaw a rather deserving villain, choose
our thingmen, and offer our thoughts on the saga’s overall quality. It’s a full episode with a nice balance of
humor, scholarship, and speculation.

legal definitions of níð and ýki as they relate to Bjorn’s Saga, follow this
