Ebbe Skamelson
Knight Ebbe Skamelson betroths the beautiful Malfred before departing for the Crusades for seven years. Believing him dead, Malfred's mother betroths her to another. Ebbe returns during the wedding feast and in rage kills Malfred, her mother, and the bridegroom. He seeks papal absolution but cannot find peace, and is sentenced to visit all 365 islands in Lake Bolmen in chains. Upon hearing a ballad of his own story, his chains fall off and he dies.
