Saga Men takes the reader on an exploration of some of the fascinating secondary characters who appear in the pages of Orkneyinga Saga. From Thorfinn Skull-Splitter, an Earl who merits only the briefest of mentions, to Svein Asleifarsson, who weaves his own saga into that of the Earls around him, this book offers a unique and unusual view of life for the 'lower classes' of Viking society in Orkney.
