Vigdis (Laxdæla Saga)
History In the ''Laxdæla saga'', Vigdis is first introduced in the eleventh story. She is introduced as " Thord's wife" and by her ancestry on both sides. This initial description paints her as solely a wife and the sum of her family history. The extent of the family history appears to be there to give context to her being an acceptable wife, as time is taken out of this description to make note of her maternal uncle's warrior status. The last mention of her in this story outlines her as someone marrying only for money, stating that she married Thord "more for his wealth than his worth". The culmination of this primary description leaves the reader with the impression that Vigdis is of high familial status, making her a catch of a bride – particularly to someone with money but without respect. Thord, by previous descriptions, was not a man to be feared, and the presence of a descendant of, say a warrior, would certainly be beneficial. This is to say, that at first introducti ...
