Explanation: The character of Grettir, if real, may have lived around the year 1000. Grettir's saga has gained a prominent role because the character is so imperfect; his exaggerated bad behavior turns him into an outlaw, but overcoming these impulses and showing incredible bravery also show how he earns his fame as noble.
He made a reckless decision by choosing to be rich. He lost his son in the process and when he wanted to bring him back his son was already gone and dead so there was no bringing him back.
