Þorleifr jarlsskáld

Þorleifr Rauðfeldarson or Þorleifr jarlsskáld (Poet of the Earl) was an Icelandic skald. The third son of Ásgeir Rauðfeldarson of Brekka in Svarfadardalur, he was one of the court poets of Hákon Sigurðarson, though only a couple of his verses on the ruler have come down to us. The following is quoted in Heimskringla.
Þorleifr is the protagonist of Þorleifs þáttr, a largely fictional work. He also has a role in Svarfdœla saga where some lausavísur are attributed to him.
