Biography
At some point before 873 CE, Egil was part of a Viking crew that also included Bragi. Once, on a raid in Courland, they shored up along the edge of a forest and explored until they found a large farm. With the owners asleep, they set about plundering the place quietly, taking sheep and goats until Egil saw a farm-hand, who he pressed for the family's hidden silver. They took both the silver and the boy back to the longship, but Egil grew sad that the family would not know who robbed them. He then ordered three of the crew to follow him back to the hamlet, where he set the houses aflame and screamed his name for all to hear.[1]
