Biorn the Pale

Björn the Pale was a Berserker who appears in the Saga of Gisli[?]. He traveled around Iceland, and made unreasonable demands of various people (such as their land and wives). If they didn't submit to Björn's demands, he would kill them and take what he had demanded. Eventually Björn the Pale met his match in Gísli, son of Thorkel of Surnadal, when Gisli borrowed a powerful sword named Greyflank, and slayed Björn the Pale in battle.
