English Language and Literature
I am a graduate of both the BA English Language and Culture ReMa Classical, Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Groningen Groningen University. I always made very extensive summaries during my courses, often adding in jokes, sarcastic comments, memes, fandom references etc. in the footnotes to make life a little more fun. I hope my summaries will help you!

Laxdæla saga and Bolli Bollason's Tale - Full Summary and Family Tree
This document contains an introduction to, information about and summary of the Laxdæla saga and Bolli Bollason's tale. It also contains a link to a full family tree where you can click around and see the familiar relationships (parents, children, spouses) visualised. Please note that there might some duplicates in the family tree, due to the way FamilyEcho formats a tree once it gets convoluted enough. These are, however, clearly marked.
