The Battle of the Gulf (Template:Langx)[1] was a naval battle on 25 June 1244 in Iceland's Húnaflói Bay, during the Age of the Sturlungs civil war.[2][3][4] The conflicting parties were the followers of Þórður kakali Sighvatsson, a member of the Sturlungar family, and those of Kolbeinn ungi Arnórsson.[5] Þórður's men were from the Westfjords of Iceland, while Kolbeinn's were northerners. The primary weapons were rocks hurled between boats. A detailed description of the battle can be found in Sturlunga saga.
