"Nj\u00E1ll \u00DEorgeirsson () was a 10th-century Icelandic lawyer who lived at Berg\u00FE\u00F3rshvol and is one of the main protagonists of Nj\u00E1ls saga, a medieval Icelandic saga. Nj\u00E1ll was the son of \u00DEorgeir \"gollnir\" \u00D3feigsson. His paternal grandfather had fallen out of favour with the king and therefore decided to leave but as he had prepared and was about to leave when the king's errandmen came to him and took his life. After that his grandmother and their children and her brother left for Iceland. Nj\u00E1l's saga does not in important events contradict other sources but in details such as genealogy it sometimes contradicts the Book of Settlement which is thought more trustworthy. Nj\u00E1ll lived in Berg\u00FE\u00F3rshvoll in Landeyjar and was married to Berg\u00FE\u00F3ra Skarph\u00E9\u00F0insd\u00F3ttir. He is described as a kindly, wealthy, non-violent, and handsome man, but beardless, suffering from the peculiar condition of not growing any facial hair. He was a great lawyer \u2014 supposedly unequalled in wisdom and predictive powers \u2014 and solved the problems of every man who came to him for counsel. He was a close friend of Gunnar H\u00E1mundarson of Hl\u00ED\u00F0arendi. After his sons become involved in a dispute, the farmstead at Berg\u00FE\u00F3rshvol is surrounded by a hundred men and put on fire. By then, Nj\u00E1ll is an old man and is offered to leave. He chooses to stay and dies in the fire with the rest of his family \u2014 hence Nj\u00E1l's saga is often called \"Brennu-Nj\u00E1ls saga\", which means \"the saga of Burning Nj\u00E1ll\"."@en .
