Viðvík is a farm in Viðvíkursveit on the eastern side of Skagafjörður, Iceland right at the opening of Hjaltadalur valley, and south of Hjaltadalsá river.

[2][3] Viðvík was the homestead of Öndóttur who settled Viðvíkursveit, but later, Þorbjörn "the fishhook" Þórðarson, who killed Grettir "the strong" Ásmundarson, lived there.

[5] In the Age of the Sturlungs, Þorgils skarði Böðvarsson lived in Viðvík for a time and the land there is often mentioned in the Sturlunga saga including, among other things, the lively social scene of 1255:[6] In Viðvík there was a lot of fun and merriment, games, and large crowds.

It came to pass that one Lord’s day, a large group of people gathered together and danced.

The priest Hámundur appeared before his friends, then the bishop reconciled with him at the people’s behest; but he never treated him quite as well as he had before.
