It derives its name from a voyage the protagonist takes to that faraway land in the west. Plot summary The novel s progagonist is Ranald Sigmundson, an Orkneyman who journeys to Vinland as a youth, fights in the battle of Clontarf , and has other adventures. Later in life, Ranald tends his farm and warns his family and friends against becoming too involved in worldly affairs. The story s prose style is quite minimalistic and vivid, after the manner of an ancient Norse saga . It is, like much of Brown s other work, a revival of that literary form. Written at a time when Brown s health was wavering, Vinland is a rare autobiographical insight into the author s thoughts about death. Like Ranald Sigmundsson, Brown converted to a Christian mentality. In the novel, Ranald yearns for a final voyage back to Vinland. However, the voyage is metaphorical he dies on Easter Monday , and therefore his voyage is a spiritual rather than a physical one. What Vinland represents is echoed throughout Brown s work in his search for silence , that is, a sense for Christian peace, unity, meaning and order. He uses the Viking s belief in fate wyrd as a backdrop to his message for Christian order. Ranald starts to despise the Viking way of life, and he soon turns very introspective and isolated, contemplating the meaning of life along emerging Christian principles. In short ... more details

Helgi and Finnbogi were two merchant brothers from Iceland , born in the late tenth century AD. Biography The Saga of the Greenlanders describes them as coming to Greenland one summer. There they negotiated a deal with Freydis Eiriksdottir , agreeing to share the profits of a voyage to newly discovered Vinland . Each agreed to take 30 crewmembers, but Freydis secretly took more. http www.sacred texts.com neu nda nda21.htm In Vinland, there was tension between the two groups. Helgi and Finnbogi set up a Human settlement settlement separate from Freydis and her crew. Freydis eventually went to the brothers Hut dwelling hut and asked how they were faring. Well, responded the brothers, but we do not like this ill feeling that has sprung up between us. The two sides made peace. Freydis, once outside, beat herself so that it would appear as if she had been ill treated. When she returned to her husband, he asked who had beaten her. Freydis claimed Helgi and Finnbogi were the culprits, and, calling him a coward , demanded that he extract revenge on her behalf, or else she would divorce him. He gathered his men and killed Helgi and Finnbogi, as well as the men in their camp. When he refused to kill the women, Freydis herself picked up an axe and massacred them. When she returned to Greenland, she told her brother Leif Eiriksson that Helgi and Finnbogi had decided to stay in Vinland.

Eric born in Norway in the 11th century was a bishop of Gar ar, Greenland Garda in Greenland established by the Scandinavia n Catholic Church . He worked in Vinland as well as Greenland. Biography Eric was active in the conversion of the natives of Greenland , and was the first bishop that exercised jurisdiction in Americas America . As soon as the Norwegians under Thorwald began to form settlements in Vinland , Eric followed his countrymen from Greenland to the newly discovered continent. Here he labored among the natives for several years. He returned to Norway in 1120, gave an account of the progress of religion in Vinland and Greenland, and advised the establishment of a diocese bishopric in the new colonies. The bishop of Scandinavia erected the new see of Garda in Greenland, and recommended Eric as bishop. He was consecrated at Lund , in Denmark , in 1121, by Archbishop Adzar, and sailed for Garda with a body of missionaries, but, after a short stay, visited the new colony in Vinland.
