IMMA

Imma was also taken by Herjólfur during his raid in Ireland. She was middle-aged when she was taken and had a very difficult life. Besides sewing clothes and working with furs, she also performed basic household chores on a daily basis. Herjólfur often beat Imma up and

when something bad happened, it was Imma who felt the pain.

Despite the fact that little is known about Imma’s upbringing, it is believed that she was kidnapped from a small farm in Ireland. Imma was very smart and knew how to grow all kinds of herbs and vegetables. This amazed the other islanders because she came up with new and different methods of cultivation. In addition to being Herjólfur’s slave, she was called upon to nurse in case of accidents, births, or other emergencies.
