Torf-Einarr
Einarr Rognvaldarson often referred to by his byname Torf-Einarr (sometimes anglicised as Turf-Einarr), (''fl.'' early 890s–c. 910) was one of the Norse Earls of Orkney. The son of a Norse ''jarl'' and a concubine, his rise to power is related in sagas which apparently draw on verses of Einarr's own composition for inspiration. After battling for control of the Northern Isles of Scotland and a struggle with Norwegian royals, Einarr founded a dynasty which retained control of the islands for centuries after his death.
He is portrayed as a successful warrior and has various characteristics in common with the Norse God Odin but his historicity is not in doubt. The reasons for his nickname of "Turf" are not certain.
==Sources==
The sources for Einarr's life are exclusively the Norse sagas, none of which were written down during his lifetime. The ''Orkneyinga saga'' was first compiled in Iceland in the early 13th century and much of the information it contains is "hard to corroborate".〔Woolf (2007) p. 242〕 Einarr is also referred to in the ''Heimskringla'', which is of a similar vintage to the ''Orkneyinga saga''. ''Torf-Einarr's Saga'' itself is now lost and a short passage is recorded in the ''Landnámabók''.〔Johnston, A.W. (July 1916) ("Orkneyinga Saga" ). JSTOR/''The Scottish Historical Review''. Vol. 13, No. 52. p. 393. Retrieved 27 January 2014.〕 These verses, penned by Einarr himself about his feud with Hálfdan Long-Legs, were the source of most of the saga writer’s information about him.〔
