In the Viking-Age Isle of Mann, all free men went armed. But no-one ever drew a weapon at the Althing, the yearly gathering where men met to hear and discuss the laws, and judge lawsuits.
So how did it happen, that Grimbold Olesson was found dead, with a knife sticking out of his chest?
In the hubbub of accusation and speculation that greeted the discovery, Gaut Bjornsson the carver asked what the King called ''the first sensible question''.
The King then told him to ask as many more questions as were needed, to find the answer - who had killed Grimbold, and why?
