An Ancient Icelandic game in which one team attempts to gain control of a ball and either take it back to their own area, or the opponents,( sometimes reported as a church). the game can go on for days and sometimes there are deaths because of the no-rules or penalties.
Sometimes people died in Knattleikr.
