Arrow wound

[edit]

The saga I read says he was shot in the armpit. I might have heard wrong. Was it the belly? Thanks. 24.91.121.27 23:57, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One Leg

[edit]

The one legged man was probably an eskimo sitting in a kayak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.242.70.245 (talk) 05:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This "Uniped" thing is wrong. He was shot with and arrow while defending the Norse camp from natives, that didn't "attack them for no reason whatsoever" but attacked them after Thorvald's men killed a party of natives in their sleep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.110.61 (talk) 20:56, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Years

[edit]

This entire article doesn't have a single year anywhere in it. That seems to be a problem. 2600:1700:67A8:230:9C4:DC64:6A7F:B561 (talk) 17:57, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First European to die in North America?

[edit]

The article credits Thorvald' as "the first European to die in North America". This seems to ignore the fact that Europeans had been living (and presumably dying) in Greenland for about two decades prior to his death. Greenland is part of North America.

Chapter 6 of the Greenlander Saga clearly states that many people died of sickness in Greenland before Thorvald sailed to Vinland; so the claim that he was the first to die is unsustainable. Mediatech492 (talk) 13:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think Greenland is kept separated from mainland America (north and South America) 2A0A:EF40:812:8A01:5433:77BF:5795:DF41 (talk) 18:13, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
