Re: Egil's Saga: his younger days
with the symptoms that he displayed, together with the description of his physical stature and physionomy it is a virtual certainty that he suffered from Pagets disease.

living in a warlike society where violence was institutional and natural, as a sufferer of pagets I'd say he couldn't help himself anyway
