Árni Lárentíusson
Árni Lárentíusson (or Laurentiusson) is one of the few medieval Icelandic prose writers known by name, known to have translated '' Dunstanus saga''. Árni was born in 1304, the son of Lárentíus Kálfsson and his Norwegian concubine Þuríðr Árnadóttir af Borgundi. His biography is known largely from Einarr Hafliðason's biography of Lárentíus, '' Laurentius saga''. After spending his childhood in Norway, Árni joined his father in Icelandic in 1315 and in 1317, Árni and his father became monks at the monastery of Þingeyraklaustur, alongside the translator Bergr Sokkason, whose prose style seems to have influenced Árni's. Árni was consecrated by Jón Halldórsson, bishop of Skálholt, around 1325, and subsequently worked for his father, who by then was the bishop of Hólar. After this point, Árni's biography becomes obscure: it seems that Árni's behaviour won the disapproval of both his father and his father's biographer. It seems from a letter of 1337 sent from t ...

Árni Beiskur
Árni beiskur or Árni the Bitter (died 22 October 1253; Modern Icelandic: ; Old Norse: ) was an Icelander. He was a follower of Gissur Þorvaldsson who undertook the task of killing Snorri Sturluson. ''Íslendinga saga'' reports the event in an almost newspaper style: ''After that they discovered where Snorri was and those entered the cellar: Markús Marðarson, Símon knútur, Árni beiskur, Þorsteinn Guðinason, Þórarinn Ásgrímsson. Símon knútur asked Árni beiskur to kill him. ''Thou shalt not hew, said Snorri.'' ''Hew thou, said Símon.'' ''Thou shalt not hew, said Snorri.'' ''Then Árni dealt him a fatal blow, and after that both he and Þorsteinn added further injuries.'' It would have been an act of irony, if the killer of Iceland's greatest writer of the Middle Ages had escaped punishment. He didn't. He was captured in another battle and executed ( Flugumýrarbrenna). He didn't ask for mercy, and the last words spoken of him were those of Kolbeinn D ...
