EspañolTHORGILS SKARTHI
'Thorgils Skarthi' (the hare-lipped) (correctly 'Þorgils Skarði') is described in the ''Kormáks saga''. He was a Viking raider and poet who founded Scarborough, England about 966. He had a brother 'Kormákr'.
Robert Mannyng of Brunne in his book ''Story of Inglande'' (finished in 1338) quoted from two lost romances about Skarði, including that he had a brother called Fleyn. If so, this Kormákr may have had the nickname 'Fleinn', and if so may have founded Flamborough (from Old Norse
★ ''Fleinaborg''). Þorgils Skarði and Kormákr came to England not long after Harald Greyhide's expedition to Bjarmaland (near the White Sea, a part of what is now Russia, compare the placename Perm).
Scarborough was soon destroyed by a rival Viking group, and was later rebuilt.
