Saga of Ref the Sly

This saga was entertaining like many others. Ref Steinsson was looked down upon by his mother until he finally proved himself worthy when he killed Thorbjorn who let his animals graze on Ref's land. Although at first he was regarded as worthless and a simpleton, later he was found to be an extremely talented craftsman, clever, cunning, and wise. Ref was also good with words, composing a few poems as well as a clever riddle to King Harald, who later decoded it. King Harald also gave Ref the name of Ref the Sly. After killing people for lack of due compensation, Ref became despised by some and outlawed from Norway. He was taken in by King Svein in Denmark, who praised Ref for his wit and talents, giving him the new name of Siggtrygg, which was more common in Denmark than Ref.

This saga mentions fate a few times. In one case King Harald advises his follower Bard to not go back to Greenland to try and help Gunner find and kill Ref because he would not be coming back. Of course Bard doesn't listen and ends up killed by Ref. Ref also claimed that it wasn't Bard's destiny or that of the men in Greenland to guard his corps, unless they receive help from wiser men, which turned out to be King Harald. Also, at the beginning Ref stays with a man named Gest who admires Ref and says he is "destined for great achievements."

Ref is clever with the construction of his house in Greenland and it's location and protective measures. He also cleverly devises an escape plan before Bard and his men come back to kill him. Ref uses two different fake names and disguises to escape from trouble and to manipulate his enemies.
Ref ends up with wealth and respect for himself and his family from King Svein. His sons marry well and have excellent descendents. It is also mentioned that Ref dies when going to visit an apostle in Rome and is buried in a rich monastery. This is likely since by this time Christianity was becoming widely accepted.
