Egil was a viking and a poet. He enjoyed killing people. He fought alongside his brother Thorolf against King [[Olaf]] in the [[Battle of Brunnanburh]] in which his brother got killed.


After the battle of Brunnanburh, Egil was rewarded greatly for the loss of his brother by [[King Athelstan]].  The King bestowed upon him a gold braclet and two chests filled with silver that he was to take back to his father as compensation for his brother's death.  Egil stayed with [[King Athelstan]] for some time after the battle and the two became close friends. When it came time for Egil to leave [[King Athelstan]] asked that he stay and pick whatever position he chose, but Egil refused the offer and set off for Norway with his troops.
