Does anyone out there have handy a translation of Króka-Refs saga or Sneglu-Halla Þáttr?  If so, it would be interesting to see how illa gefið is treated there.

The Saga of Ref the Sly

As a young man - described as Big - Good looking and hard to manage

There was a man called Thorbjorn  he is said to be Rich overbearing and a trouble maker who did not pay damages

Thorbjorns wife Rannveig is described as stupid and domineering and it was said to have been generally felt that Thorbjorn would not have been the way he was but for her driving him

Is there another name for  Sneglu Halla Þattr necause because I had bovver finding it under your Title LN it was listed as I have given

I doubt if the modern publishers would ever have used ill-given, shame I like it well
