The early 1900s caption reads: ""The bondswoman and Olaf her son sat in the morning sunshine, son of Hoskuld."" Olaf the Peacock or Olaf (c. 938-1006) was a merchant and chieftain of the early Icelandic Commonwealth, who was nicknamed ""the Peacock"" because of his proud bearing and magnificent wardrobe. Olaf was the son of Hoskuld Dala-Kollsson, a chieftain who lived in the Laxardal region, and of a slave woman. Olaf and slave woman are pictured here.
