Note on Husband: Ormur SNORRASON (1)

Hann fór í norðurreiðina með Smiði Andréssyni hirðstjóra og Jóni skráveifu lögmanni eftir Alþingi 1362, tók þátt í Grundarbardaga varð og fékk þar kirkjugrið. Vísur sem ortar voru eftir bardagann benda til þess að framganga hans þar hafi ekki þótt sérlega hetjuleg.

Note on Husband: Ormur SNORRASON (2)

His last mention is in 1401, and he probably died shortly afterwards. (possibly 1402)

Note on Husband: Ormur SNORRASON (3)

Ormur var mikill auðmaður og hafði menningarlegan metnað. Hann lét gera tvær af fegurstu skinnbókum sem varðveist hafa hér á landi, þ.e. Skarðsbók Jónsbókar um 1363, og Skarðsbók postulasagna. Þá síðari gaf hann kirkjunni á Skarði að hálfu leyti, en hinn helminginn skyldi bóndinn á Skarði eiga.

The Wormbook - (or Orm Snorrason's Book ) - was a large Icelandic leather manuscript from 1360–1400, which in the 17th century was in Sweden and used by scholars there. The script was undoubtedly given this name because Ormur Snorrason's lawyer wrote his name in it and has probably been his first owner. Wormbook is believed to have been destroyed on May 7, 1697 , when the royal palace in Stockholm burned down.6
