Although, as St Brendan was a monk, I don't believe he had any women quite as remarkable as Gudrun on board.Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-8298011031435326942014-12-01T20:54:52.485-05:002014-12-01T20:54:52.485-05:00So true, Thelma.

About 20 years ago my cousin in Reykjavik sent me my Icelandic genealogy which says that I am descended from Karlsefni. I need to memorize that part of my lineage before I go back to Iceland in order to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to recite it. <br />Gudrid was a helluva woman!
