Grímur Geitskör (Grímur Goatshoe or Goatbeard) was responsible for establishing the Icelandic parliament Althing in what is now called the Assembly Plains or Þingvellir. In around 927-930 he made tour of Iceland and searched for the most appropriate place for the parliament. The place he chose was Bláskógar (the former name of Þingvellir) on the eastern edge of Þorsteinn Ingólfsson's estate. The location with its elevated cliff (part of the Atlantic ridge) and beautiful lake was chosen not only for its position with respect to important settlements but also because its owner had been found guilty of murder and had his land declared public. Grímur was the foster or half brother of Úlfljótr.

dbo:abstract
  • Grimur Geitskor (apodado calzado de chivo​) fue un vikingo de Islandia del siglo X, hermano de Úlfljótr el primer lögsögumaður de la Mancomunidad Islandesa y tuvo un papel crucial en la fundación del primer parlamento de hombres libres del país. En Íslendingabók de Ari Þorgilsson menciona a Grímur como la persona que estuvo buscando el emplazamiento más adecuado para facilitar la participación en la asamblea de hombres libres de Islandia (Alþingi),​ explorando cada territorio de la isla durante los tres años que su hermano estuvo en Noruega estudiando leyes y preparándose para su responsabilidad jurídica. Las distancias, la meteorología y la compleja geografía islandesa no facilitaba un trayecto fluido y a veces se tardaba hasta 17 días en cruzar la isla de un cabo a otro, por lo tanto debía encontrar un lugar de fácil acceso para la mayoría de habitantes que finalmente fue en Þingvellir cerca del río Öxará. La primera sesión parlamentaria tuvo lugar en el verano del año 930. (es)
