Iceland XXXI - Kirkjubæjarklaustur and the Epic surroundings │ Part 126

* * * What happened - Guilty or not, the nuns were swiftly burned at the stake? * * * Kirkjubæjarklaustur (locally called ‘Klaustur’) is a village of approximately 120 inhabitants in the Skaftárhreppur municipality of South Iceland. The history of Kirkjubæjarklaustur differs, in many respects, to the traditional Icelandic settlement. “Papar”, the Icelandic title for traveling Irish monks, was thought to have settled the area long before the Norsemen. In that tradition, it was claimed that pagans of no kind would set foot in Klaustur; this was a strictly Christian area. Stories have permeated, with one telling of a pagan, Hildir Eysteinsson, who attempted to move there in the 10th Century. Upon setting foot across the border, he fell instantly dead and was buried on the neighboring hill, Hildishaugur (“Hildir’s Mound.”) Sister’s Rock, for instance, has been said to be the burial site of two nuns executed for sinful behavior. The nuns were accused of all sorts of behavior, including selling their souls to the devil, removing communion bread from church, carnal knowledge with men, and blasphemy toward the pope. Guilty or not, the nuns were swiftly burned at the stake. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 Hæðargarðsvatn. 00:46 Landbrotsvötn. 01:27 Skaftá. 01:37 Systravatn. 01:51 Skaftá 02:59 Kirkjubæjarklaustur. 03:47 Systrafoss. 04:39 Systravatn. 04:58 Kirkjubæjarklaustur. 06:48 Systravatn. 07:09 Systrafoss. 07:13 Skaftá - Kirkjubæjarklaustur. 07:38 Landbrot - Landbrotshólar. 08:27 Hæðargarðsvatn. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
