Life
Bróðir (also Brodir or Brodar) and Óspak (also Óspakur, Ospakr or Ospak) were two Danish brothers who lived on the west coast of the Isle of Man. According to Njál's saga, Óspak was a heathen, described as "the wisest of all men." Bróðir had been "a Christian man and a mass-deacon by consecration", but he had apostatised and become "of all men most skilled in sorcery." Bróðir was tall and strong, with long black hair that he wore tucked in under his belt, and he was clad in a coat of mail "which no steel could bite." Between them, they had thirty ships, and were described by Gormflaith as "men of such hardihood that nothing can withstand them".
