Geirmund Hjørson, called Heljarskinn, was a leading Icelander of the late ninth century.
He was the son of a Norwegian merchant and a Samoyed woman.
According to these, he was the son of a Norwegian petty king and made a fortune as a Viking.
On Iceland, he held four large estates and travelled with a bodyguard of eighty men.
His lifestyle was supported by the wealth from his raids and could not be sustained off of his estates alone.
