I just took the Viking Quiz and noticed that you have Freydis as Erik the Red’s sister. (This error is repeated on the Gardar page.) She was his daughter and (half-)sister to Leif the Lucky.

Yep, you are right. I just checked back and Buckland et al refer to Freydis, Erik the Red’s daughter. Tsk.

Thanks so much for letting me know!
