Career
In 1343 he was sent to prison for beating up his abbot in the abbey of Þykkvabær. Some scholars assume that this was the occasion he composed "Lilja", which is marked by a deep concern with sinfulness. He was sent to Norway in 1355 and returned in 1357 as an inspector of churches.
On the way back to Norway in 1360 the voyage turned out to be too rough for him, and the poet died just after landing.
