'Hans of Iceland' Summary

Han of Iceland is set in the region of Trondheim in Norway in 1699. Ordener Guldenlew, main character, a virtuous, noble and courageous young man, is the son of the Viceroy of Norway and lover of Ethel, sweet young daughter of Schumaker , former count of Griffenfeld dishonored by the king and imprisoned in the fortress of Munkholm.

Only certain papers, locked in an iron casket and in the hands of Han of Iceland, could save Schumaker and his daughter. Ordener then sets out to find him in the wild north of Norway.

Meanwhile, Han of Iceland ravages the region, accompanied by his polar bear, ferociously killing all those who stand in his way, pursuing with his hatred any member of the human species and in particular the arquebusiers of Munckholm, whose he killed his son Gill Stadt whom he had by raping a young girl called Lucy Pelnych and to whom he wished to transmit his hatred and violence.
