Papar
The Papar (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈpʰaːpar̥]; from Latin papa, via Old Irish, meaning "father" or "pope") were, according to early Icelandic sagas, Irish monks who took eremitic residence in parts of what is now Iceland before that island's habitation by the Norsemen of Scandinavia, as evidenced by the sagas and recent archaeological findings.

Papar
The Papar were, according to early Icelandic historical sources, a group of Irish or Scottish monks resident in parts of Iceland at the time of the arrival of the Norsemen. Their existence is confirmed by archaeology. The Scandinavians began settling in Iceland in 874 AD, but the oldest source which mentions the existence of the Papar was written in the Íslendingabók, between 1122 and 1133. Such figures are mentioned in the Landnámabók which relates that the Norse found Irish priests in Iceland when they arrived, together with bells and crosiers. An earlier source that could possibly refer to the Papar is the work of Dicuil, an early 9th century Irish monk, which discussed the wandering of "holy men" to the lands of the north. However, it is not known whether Dicuil is speaking about Iceland, as Gaelic hermits also settled in other islands of the north such as Orkney and Shetland. Several Icelandic toponyms have been linked to the Papar, including the island of Papey, as well as the Vestmannaeyjar but no archeological evidence has yet confirmed the link.
