meanwhile, hjörleifr hróðmarsson was murdered by his irish slaves because of how badly he was treating-them. ingólfr hunted them down and killed them in vestmannaeyjar (westman islands). the islands got their name from that event, but vestmenn (west men) is a name that the norsemen at this time sometimes used for irishmen. he continued to live in southwestern iceland, but nothing is known about what happened to him after settling. his son, torstein ("þorsteinn ingólfsson"), was said to have founded the first parliament, in iceland. it later became known as the althing.
