Thorolf Mostur-Beard hid Bjorn the Easterner from Harald in Norway until both men were able to emigrate.
Thorolf went directly to Iceland in about 882 and settled at Helgafell on the Snaefellsnes peninsula, where Hvammsfjord runs into Breidafjord.
Bjorn followed his family to the Hebrides ten years after Ingólfr Arnarson had settled in Iceland.
Bjorn then sailed to Iceland two years later, where Thorolf granted him land on Snaefellsnes between Hraunsvík and Hraunsfjord.
He returned to Iceland, became a settler on the peninsula of Snæfellsnes, and lived on a farm at Bjarnarhöfn.
