My son visited Iceland a few years back and gave me a novel about this case as a present on his return. It's called 'Burial Rites' by Hannah Kent. Highly recommended.

As an Icelander I loved to hear the story of Agnes and Friðrik . You did good in saying the Icelandic names 👍🏻🇮🇸👍🏻

I find it hypocritical that Agnes was judged for having an intimate relationship with the victim while he, himself, and his married lover were spared that same judgement. Poor Agnes never stood a chance.

Hello BC, was helping my mom setting the Christmas tree light, we're almost finished. This is the very first time that we're in Iceland! It's such a beautiful country.

Its not everyday that you hear of cases from Iceland so I'm really intrigued by this one

We don't hear much about Iceland so it was interesting to hear this story. I don't suppose anyone will ever know her motivation behind helping in the murders. Thank you for another very fascinating story.

It was interesting that this case was recently re-tried and that Agnes (posthumously) was spared the death penalty, but I'm not convinced that the accused trio had anything to do with the murders. The original prosecution built a death penalty case based on rumors and hearsay -- but no actual proof or evidence. They speculated that Agnes and the maid may have participated in the murders out of jealousy. Yet, there was no proof or evidence of that having been the case. They contended that the young man took part in the murders because he liked the maid and was jealous of her involvement with Natan, but, once again, they had no proof of this. Which means the three were punished or beheaded based solely on conjecture.

I got a bit excited already when I saw the Icelandic surname, nice that it actually was an Icelandic case. I'm wondering how come Skald-Rosa's husband wasn't suspected for having anything to do with the murder of her lover, especially if it was suspected/known that Nathan had fathered 2 of Skald-Rosa's children. Interesting to hear both about how the disappeared heads was found, and that they in modern days did a sort of retrial.

This was a thrilling case!! Iceland seems like such a mystical place to live so I was totally enraptured as I learned so much about its past. The tragedy that occurred was horrid, of course, but it was even more stark and surreal because it took place in such an inhospitable venue. Thank you Esteemed Brief Case for another Marvellous Monday!!! There is no one else in the universe who could fill your shoes!!

It is so sad that these three were punished for these crimes when there was no clear evidence of their guilt.

Good morning all and thanks BC for helping start the week off right. We appreciate all the research and uploads ❤

I like how well you explain poverty and lack of educational opportunities , it was so kind and understanding ❤

Good morning This case really bothered me in my gut something tells me that she was not guilty even though they did a mock trial and they would’ve given her 14 years. I feel that the three of them were found guilty because of their social circumstance. that’s how people were looking at her and her two co-defendants. They were not going to get a fair trial, especially after that poem was put in the paper and that makes it even worse and that’s just my personal opinion. It just seems like anyone that didn’t have money would never have a fair chance at anything that they were accused of. That’s just my personal opinion. Thank you for another great story, and from Iceland 🇮🇸 I hope you have a wonderful week. Looking forward to next Monday. Bless 🙏🏽🎄☃️🎁

You did a great job saying the names of the players in this tale of woe.

Where was the evidence that these two was guilty of the murders?? So Anges had low standards what about the woman who wrote a poem for her dead LOVER she didn't have low standards?? Another great case B.C

Creepy! beheadings and heads on pikes - wow! Was there ever a movie about this? Seems like good material for one. Thank you Mr. BC, and again, another Monday morning tale!!

What a fascinating story from a country you hear little of --- especially in this time frame. BC did another excellent presentation 👏 Blown away, by the pronunciation of the names! 👏 😢 I have to wait another week for the next. Thank you, BC

Hello BC Awesome research from Iceland including correct pronunciations Sad for the two girls esp Agnes who was executed. Finally after almost two hundred years they had a proper burial. Thanks BC.

Good morning, Casers and Casettes! The week is upon us.

Another excellent episode of a very tragic event years ago, thank you BC, top shelf as usual!!!🙏😢⚖️🤔❣️

It sounds like Agnes was not the only woman the farmer was seeing for a casual relationship. Agnes and her friends were unjustly executed.

I was impressed with your pronunciations. That you had native help explains it. My thanks to your anonymous helper, too!

Nattan was a player and some women don't like that. However, I'm not convinced of the guilt of Agnes and the other two accused. There seemed to be a lack of evidence and much reliance on rumours. If his affairs of the heart were the reason for his murder, then it was especially devilish that whoever killed him had no qualms about murdering a second victim, innocent in all that. We'll never know but it was fascinating. Thank you Brief Case for another Monday morning murder mystery.

I always look forward to seeing where and of what era our weekly Brief Case will be. Thanks BC for your intriguing narration and all the work you put into these historical cases. I hope you had a wonderful time in Iceland! I've heard it's a very interesting and mystical place! 🙏🖤✌️

Good pronouncing those names. My brain is still trying to figure them all out. Thank you again.

Good Monday morning and thanks for another great Brief Case! Love it when we "visit" a new country🙂

The Australian author Hannah Kent wrote a book about this case called "Burial Rites." She really researched the heck out of this case. I'd really recommend any of her books, but particularly this one.

This was a very sad case for these three people! Agnes and the others were put to death without firm evidence of their guilt!! I definitely can't ever remember hearing about a case coming from Iceland. Agnes and the others didn't get a fair trial! Thank you Brief Case for your brilliant investigation on this case!

Thanks for bringing us a new country. Now I’m wondering how many more cases there are in Iceland…

Good morning! A fantastic job on this story. Thank you for all your work.

This case should get others (those who live in countries with high standards of living) to appreciate their personal freedoms compared to others who lived in a different time and different culture.

It's a pleasure to hear about different places thank you

Heck of a job with those names! Great work! I can't imagine growing up in a place as bleak and isolated as that. Poor, uneducated, and no idea what else might be out there.

WOW BC! This was a gripping and compelling story. If these 3 are truly guilty, I would love to know the whole story. I guess that will never happen. I was surprised by the choice of execution. Thank you for one of the most intriguing videos. Good Day to everyone😊

Thanks BC, I knew about this case by an Icelandic friend of mine, back in the 90s. So glad that you have covered it. Please remember though that this kind of brutal punishment has *not* ended in the world today and is often purpotrated against women. Time has only moved the location not the act.

I was surprised at the medieval style execution and post mortem displays at this late date in history. Also congratulation on your pronunciation of these tongue twister names.

Yaay a new one 😊 Thank you so very much for all your videos and time. I listen to your videos every night.

Outstanding! 19th century Iceland? Your presentation has transported me a great distance in time and space. An escape and adventure I greatly needed. Thanks BC. You're the best.

This was gross and a serious miscarriage of any sort of justice.

Really interesting story. Enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

Isn't Iceland dealing with a catastrophic opening in the ground via an earthquake?

Hej Briefy! You did a good job with the names :) Hugs from Sweden!

You almost forgot your necktie, Brief Case. Just in case you might need it when you go out and explore the world.

Lucky you, I've always wanted to visit Iceland and doubt if I will now. Thanks for bringing us this intriguing story and I hope you had a great time there.

I always learn something new from this channel.

Chilling case, Iceland. I see what you're doing here. Clever, Brief Case!

This is a quality channel by the way.

My goodness...what another story...I listen to your stories as I work...do my housework... shopping..ect..your stories..your voice narration is so captivating ..I can't stop listening...these stories are unreal...

So many men, in any Era, and everywhere around the world, choose to abandon their family. Men, don't dip the stick if you can't afford the oil.

Thanks for this on a chilly Monday morning.

There seem to be sooo much more involved in this case. If I had to guess, its another example of poor women being misused bywealthy men.

Morning! Thank you for a nice respite before the work week begins. Always look forward to this.

I read the novel, Burial Rites, written by Australian author, Hanna Kent. It is about the final days of Agnes. Absolutely brilliant, so I was excited when I recognised the name in your video title.👏🏻

She was very beautiful. Such a sad case. Ty BC, for yet another poignantly beautiful sory, and as usual, so elegantly and respectfully well researched, and narrated. ❤❤❤

I was just going to say that your pronunciation was surprisingly GOOD! My mother is Icelandic and I've spent some time there as well. That image of Agnes reminded me of several cousins over there. With the tiny population of Iceland, we are ALL related to varying degrees. It is a strange magical place that I have a deep connection to. Well done my friend!!!

In such a sparsely populated place, one imagines there were no other suspects - but still, gruesome ends all round.

Happy Monday BC

Just really wanted to thank you for your diligence in trying to pronounce the names correctly. I see so many true crime channels not even bothering to learn American place names.

This was fascinating, and I learned a lot too thanks as always!!!

What a great story. Thank you.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful information and work you do on all your videos. I’ve been watching your channel for about close to two years and very much enjoy what you reveal. Thanks again. This particular Brief Case really got my attention because of the harsh weather and conditions and how certain societies take advantage of others and the complete isolation. I help.advocate for others and recognize when things are not as they seem. As people talk to me my most important job is listening. As I listen I gain a better insight and understanding. However, that doesn’t mean I know all about any person. We all need to truly listen and take time with people and stop making things up in our minds. KEEP ROCKIN!! By the way, I’m 60 years old and disabled, was a caregiver for about 20 years and live in the United States in California. Your channel really assists me to better serve others. ❤❤❤❤❤

Ooh, Iceland. Thanks for the upload, Brief Case!

Iceland is a beautiful country and the people are so nice!

I look forward to your videos so much! Thanks for the interesting cases!

The best thing about Monday morning? An upload from Brief Case ❤!

OMG! blessed Monday Morning 🌄 😍Brief Case thank you.

How tragic 😢. This reminds us how hard life was for many many people in earlier times. TY BC once again for making my Monday better ! ❤🇺🇸👍

Good morning Brief Case.

Great one BC, well done, thanks for sharing.

No idea Mr Brodie, that peaceful Iceland even had murders? No Gallows but the chopping block was preferred. Now 200y later still no executions permitted !

Thank you for sharing this story. I've never heard of it before. But I'm also very interested in learning of the history of other countries.

What an absolutely delicious channel, please continue to amaze us.❤👍🙃🇨🇦

A most interesting and sad case of peasants killing landowners. I feel they were punished more for that reason than the actual murders. In any case, I'm glad some form of true justice was given to them 200 yrs later. It's too bad there weren't opportunities to get out of that small village and go live somewhere else. I am curious though about what happened to her father and the 3rd victim/criminal sent to Denmark for prison. I like the fact that you covered a case from a place I never thought about much and had no idea there were settlements in that area during that time period. Thanks BC. Happy Holidays to you.

Iceland.....this was a welcome change. I have been looking a videos lately of Iceland due to the pending (I hope not) catastrophe. I thought it would be a country free of crime. But I learned something new: it used to belong to Denmark. Sorry for Agnes and the two others.... case was lacking concrete evidence. Have a great week BC you sure did a lot of research here late 1700's long time ago. Greetings from Texas USA.

I go to Iceland about once a week. They have excellent bargains on frrozen foods 😂 (anyone from the UK will get the joke about the frozen food grocery store chain)😅

Really appreciate that you cover the less well known cases. I stopped following other “true crimers” as they all seem to cover the same cases and it gets boring after awhile. Can always expect a new and unusual case from you - many thanks!

Thanks for another great case!!

I love your work, but this one really got to me. I wonder if they happened to record that mock trial. That would be really great to see or listen to. Nice job, thanks!

Very interesting! Thank you and Happy New Year!

I love your work! Keep it up! ❤

Well done. Enjoyed, as always. Thank you, BC.

Thank you for bringing us this story from Iceland BC. 🇮🇸

Thank you for this most fascinating case. I think this is the best and most interesting case to date. It was well researched and wonderfully presented.

Good afternoon BC family ❤

I was so impressed that you could pronounce all the names! Well done😃

Good morning BC so happy i am able to watch this quickly before work❤❤ 🙏🏼

An interesting case. Your narration and the photos bring each case to life. Thank you for this great channel! 😊

This was a fascinating story thank you

What would have been really interesting in the retrial, is if they used the original legal rules properly applied with that evidence would death have still been the verdict.

Good Monday morning, Brief

Fantastic content, such a great channel

Thank you BC, love listening to your cases, outstanding cases in history, thank you.

As usual another Great case brought out for all of us to hear👍👍👍👍. Thank You for doing it 👍😎🍻✌️👋

Good morning BC Family❤

Really interesting case and I love that the country re-tried it.

Thank you so much. Best regards from Iceland.

I'm watching on Monday @11:16 From Melbourne 😊 Thankyou 🎉🎉 Wonderful history I didn't know about. familia nexum😊 Corruption.

I do love your commitment to pronunciation of the names of the people discussed in these cases.

Good morning BC thank you for another great story to start my day
