"Gengu þeir á land upp slyppir, en þeir Þórólfr tóku skipit með farmi ok fóru leiðar sinnar. Hafði Þórólfr þá þrjú skip, er hann sigldi austan um Foldina, sigldu þá þjóðleið til Líðandisness, fóru þá sem skyndiligast, en námu nesnám, þar sem þeir kómu við, ok hjuggu strandhögg."*

What? Vikings aren't pirates?

*From Egils saga Skallgrimsonar describing how Thorolf made a raid on Lithandisness after taking a merchant ship.
