Hallgerður «langbrók»

Hallgerður Höskuldsdóttir (10. öld) var þekkt undir nafninu Hallgerður langbrók, að líkindum vegna þess að hún hefur verið hávaxin og leggjalöng, eða að nafn hennar hafi verið ranglega skrá sem langbrók í stað langbrok sem þýðir langt hár.

Hallgerður «langbrók» Höskuldsdóttir / Hallgerd Langbrok

He was married to Hallgerðr Höskuldsdóttir of Höskuldsstaðir in Laxárdal in Dalasýsla, who was known as Hallgerðr langbrók ("Hallgerður longpants"). He was her third husband. It was said that she had killed both her former husbands, but she had in fact only killed the first. Their marriage was considered imprudent by Gunnar's friend Njáll Þorgeirsson, because it was caused by lust and not practicality.
