		To this they agreed, and she departed thence to visit her brother, Leif, and ask him to give her the house which he had caused to be erected in Wineland; but he made her the same answer [as that which he had given Karlsefni], saying that he would lend the house, but not give it.
		At this Freydis exclaimed, “Hand me an axe.” This was done; and she fell upon the five women, and left them dead.

		This book tells the story of those two women, of Freydis Eiriksdattir, the base-born daughter of Eirik the Red, sister of Leif Eiriksson, and of the other woman who came along on her husband's ship, Gudrid Thorbjornsdattir, the mother of the first European child to be born on the North American Continent.
