Summary

Description

Early life in Iceland

It is believed that Leif was born about 970 AD in Iceland[2], the son of Erik the Red (Old Norse: Eiríkr inn rauði), a Norwegian explorer and outlaw and himself the son of another Norwegian outlaw, Þorvaldr Ásvaldsson. Leif's mother was Thjodhild (Þjóðhildr).[3] Erik the Red had founded two Norse colonies in Greenland, the Western Settlement and the Eastern Settlement, as he had named them.

Apparently, Leif Ericsson had two brothers, Þorvaldr and Þorsteinn, and one sister, Freydís. Leif married a woman named Thorgunna, and they had one son, Þorkell Leifsson.
