Erling Hugleikr

If he had a gold piece for every time someone said, “You’re tougher than you look,” Erling could purchase a tract of land, build a pub on it, challenge all-comers to a nightly prize-fight, and still make enough money to open a second and third location the following year in adjoining towns. Even if hooch sales were slow, he’d still be saving the time and money he normally spends drinking and fighting at other public houses—and they’d be only too pleased to see him go.
