    Thorfinn Karlsefni

    11th century Icelandic explorer

    Thorfinn Karlsefni Thórdarson[a] was an Icelandic explorer. Around the year 1010, he followed Leif Eriksson's route to Vinland in a short-lived attempt to establish a permanent settlement there with his wife Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir and their followers.

    Nickname

    The bynameKarlsefni means "makings of a man" according to the preface of Magnus Magnusson and Hermann Pálsson,[1] although the Cleasby-Vigfusson dictionary glosses it as "a thorough man",[2] elaborated elsewhere as a "real man", a "sterling man".[3]

    History

    Thorfinn's expeditions are documented in the Grœnlendinga saga ("Saga of the Greenlanders" henceforth Grl.) and Eiríks saga rauða ("Saga of Eirik the Red" Henceforth Eir.),[b] which together are referred to as "The Vinland Sagas."[4] The two sources differ significantly in their details (see #Saga sources below).[5]
