Ásbjǫrn Skerjablesi
Ásbjǫrn skerjablesi (died 874), also known as Ásbjǫrn jarl skerjablesi, is a ruler of the Kingdom of the Isles, Hebrides attested by ''Landnámabók'' and ''Droplaugarsona saga''. His epithet, ''skerjablesi'', translates to "skerry blaze". One possibility is that this name means "the man with a blaze from the Skerries", although the particular skerry which this might refer to is unknown. Another possibility is that, whilst the word element ''blesi'' ("blaze") refers to Ásbjǫrn's nickname, the element ''sker'' ("skerry") refers to his hangout. According to ''Landnámabók'', Ásbjǫrn was slain in 874 by Hólmfastr Véþormsson and Grímr (a nephew of Hólmfastr's father). Ásbjǫrn's killers are stated to have enslaved Ásbjǫrn's wife, Álof (daughter of Þórðr vaggagði), and his daughter Arneiðr.#W1, Wyatt (2007b) pp. 120, 141, 153 n. 437; #P1, Pálsson; Edwards (2006) pp. 112 ch. 278, 144 ch. 388; #L1, ''Landnámabók I–III'' (1900) pp. 89 ch. 240, 121 ch. 342, 2 ...
