Egill Skallagrimsson was an unruly child with a natural gift for poetry. In fact, his gift would one day get him out of an execution with Eric Bloodaxe. It can’t be said for sure whether he was real or not, but his story from the sagas is nonetheless compelling.

Like Óðinns response to RalpAlpha's comment states there has been allot of archilogical evidence excavated that proofs, as much as any historical evidence can proof, his existence. There is probably not a single Icelander that doubts Egils existence. We are tought that he is a historical figure not a semimythological one like Ragnar Loðbrók.
This is a good telling of the story but hearth is pronounced harth not herth.

Perhaps it's time for you to ride a horse and get drunk, if you've done neither.
