Relations and evidence
Kinship(3)
with Hoskuld Koll's son · weight 3 · ch. 25–36
“Thorliek, Hoskuld's son, had been a great seafarer, and taken service with men in lordly station when he was on his merchant voyages before he settled down as a householder, and a man of mark he was thought to be.”
“A little later, Thorliek, Hoskuld's son, went at the advice of his father to the dwelling of the freedman and took him and killed him, and Thorliek claimed as his and his father's own all the money the freedman had made.”
“Nothing is told of their journey till they came to Combeness, to Thorliek, Hoskuld's son.”
with Hrut Herjolf's son · weight 1 · ch. 25–25
“Thorliek begat a son of his wife.”
with Bolli · weight 1 · ch. 27–27
“And now Olaf took home Bolli, the son of Thorliek, who at this time was three winters old.”
Conversation(10)
with Bard · weight 1 · ch. 26–26
“Then Thorliek said, "It is far from my wish that Olaf be adopted; he has plenty of money already; and you, father, have for a long time given him a great deal, and for a very long time dealt unevenly with us.”
with Hoskuld Koll's son · weight 1 · ch. 26–26
“Hoskuld said, "Surely you will not rob me of the law that allows me to give twelve ounces to my son, seeing how high-born Olaf is on his mother's side."”
with Kotkell · weight 2 · ch. 36–36
“Thorliek said, "Will the horses not be rather dear, then, for I have heard tell you are thought rather guilty in this countryside?"”
“Thorliek said that was true.”
with Kotkell · weight 2 · ch. 36–36
“Kotkell answers, "In this you are hinting at the men of Laugar."”
“Then Kotkell said, "Matters point quite another way, as concerning our guilt towards Gudrun and her brothers, than you have been told; people have overwhelmed us with slander for no cause at all.”
with Eldgrim · weight 3 · ch. 37–37
“Eldgrim said, "My errand here is that I want to buy from you the stud-horses, those valuable ones that Kotkell gave you last summer."”
“Eldgrim said, "I will offer you equally many stud-horses for them and some other things thrown in, and many would say that I offer you twice as much as the horses are worth."”
“Eldgrim said, "I take it to be no lie that you are proud and self-willed, and I should, indeed, like to see you getting a somewhat less handsome price for them than I have now offered you, and that you should have to let the horses go none the less."”
with Eldgrim · weight 3 · ch. 37–37
“Thorliek answered, "The horses are not for sale."”
“Thorliek said, "I am no haggler, but these horses you will never have, not even though you offer three times their worth."”
“Thorliek said, "Do as you like, but bring up no odds against me."”
with Hrut Herjolf's son · weight 2 · ch. 37–37
“Then Hrut rode over to Combeness and told Thorliek the tidings.”
“Hrut said that Thorliek must do what pleased him, and so they parted in no loving kindness.”
with Hrut Herjolf's son · weight 2 · ch. 37–37
“Thorliek said that not only had he done this for an evil purpose, but that, moreover, no good would come in return for it.”
“Thorliek now went to see his tenants Kotkell and Grima, and bade them do something to the shame of Hrut.”
with Olaf · weight 1 · ch. 38–38
“Thorliek said he was.”
with Olaf · weight 2 · ch. 38–38
“Olaf said, "Yet I would beg you, kinsman, to change your way of life, and go abroad; you will be thought an honourable man whereever you come; but as to Hrut, our kinsman, I know he feels how your dealings with him come home to him.”
“Olaf said, "You have, indeed, taken an honourable course in this matter, if you do after my prayer; but as touching Bolli, I am minded to do to him henceforth as I have done hitherto, and to be to him and hold him no worse than my own sons."”
