Þorgeirr Þorkelsson Ljósvetningagoði

Þorgeirr Þorkelsson Ljósvetningagoði was an Icelandic lawspeaker for the parliament, or AlÞing, during the 10th century A.D. He decided to trek about a hundred miles across Iceland on a regular basis to participate in the AlÞing. On one such visit he decided to convert from his pagan religion to Christianity. To show how dedicated he was to this new religion, on his journey back to Akureyri, he had an excursion day to Godafoss and decided to chuck all of his stuff into it.
