Anna Vigfúsdóttir á Stóru-Borg

Anna Vigfúsdóttir á Stóru-Borg (died 1571), was an Icelandic landlord.

This is an Icelandic name. The last name is patronymic, not a family name; this person is referred to by the given name Anna.

She was a rich heiress famous for her love to the poor shepherd Hjalti Magnusson, and her long feud with her brother, judge Pal, who refused to accept their love and tried to prevent them from marrying and to take control over her estates.

Her story was the subject of a novel by Jón Trausti, titled Anna frá Stóruborg.[1]
