The new king of Vinland died soon, in 1357, and his two sons, Eric and Frey disputed the right to the throne. Finally Erik was elected king and his brother was named heir. Erik wanted to move away his brother from the throne, in Leifsbudir, were he was already having disagreements with the kirge Olof. The kirge wanted to control Leifsbudir and the "holy land" in the island of Vinland, inspired in the myths of the Kingdom-beyond-the-Seas, when the Supreme Priest was the overlord of the lands about his throne.
