Fjalla-Eyvindur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fjalla-Eyvindur (Icelandic for "Eyvindur of the Mountains") (1714-1783) was an Icelandic outlaw. He and his wife Halla are reported to have fled into the remote highlands of Iceland after 1760. They lived in the wilderness for twenty years. A hot spring named Eyvindarhver is named after him. The Icelandic playwright Jóhann Sigurjónsson dramatised his life in 1911 as Fjalla-Eyvindur.
