Orlyg Torchgorer

Orlyg Torchgorer (died 870) was a Norwegian Viking warrior who took part in early colonization attempts in Vinland during the late 9th century AD. In 870 AD, he was one of the heroes summoned by the colony of Borgarholt at Hafr to lead the army from Kopanes to attack the rival Norse colony of Asolfsskali, only to be slain in the ensuing battle alongside all of his men.
