Day of Remembrance for Unn the Deep-Minded

Today we celebrate Unn the Deep- Minded. Unn comes to us from the Laxdaela Saga.

Unn was a strong woman who refused to yield to the tyrannical Harald Finehair. She traveled to Scotland and helped to create a solid future for her granddaughters. Later she journeyed to Iceland and settled there. Here she became quite a successful woman and strove to build a future for her descendants. She died at her grandson's wedding after she had named him her heir. She was given a traditional burial and funerary feast.

Unn was a strong woman who sought only to strengthen her family line. She refused to yield to anyone when it came to her offspring. Her life was spent creating a secure future for her family. For her, family came before all else and she was willing to do whatever was needed to protect her family.

One who almost certainly became a disir for her family line. A true matriarch, a good woman, and a role model for mothers of today.

Hail Unn the Deep-Minded!
