Textastærð

There is another tale about Álfheiðarskúti than the one written down by Sigfús the folklore collector, and it’s fun to include it as well. Anna Jónsdóttir, who was brought up at Strýta, heard it said that the maid Álfheiður was heavily pregnant when she fled from the villains. In these oral accounts, the maid from Búlandssveit is made out to have been remarkably light on her feet despite the pregnancy; by their telling she was a veritable superwoman. She was a young woman who was far along, and she ran up the slope and reached the rock shelter. The “Turks” did not manage to follow her; they couldn’t climb up into the shelter, and there she gave birth to twins. (SÁM 90/2234)
