Árni Þorláksson (1237 – 17 April 1298; Old Norse: [ˈɑːrne ˈθorˌlɑːksˌson]; Modern Icelandic: [ˈau(r)tnɪ ˈθɔrˌlauksˌsɔːn]) was an Icelandic Roman Catholic clergyman, who became the tenth bishop of Iceland (1269–1298).[1]
He served in the diocese of Skálholt. Árni had orders from his superior in Norway to take control of local church property away from secular chieftains.[2] He was largely successful in this.
