Þorleifr Rauðfeldarson or Þorleifr jarlsskáld (Poet of the Earl) was an Icelandic skald. The third son of Ásgeir Rauðfeldarson of Brekka in Svarfadardalur, he was one of the court poets of Hákon Sigurðarson, though only a couple of his verses on the ruler have come down to us. The following is quoted in Heimskringla. Hǫ́kon, vitum hvergi (hafizk hefr runnr af gunni) fremra jarl und ferli (folk-Ránar) þér mána ; þú hefr ǫðlinga Óðni (etr hrafn af ná getnum), vesa mátt af því vísi víðlendr, níu senda. Hákonardrápa 1, FJ's edition Hákon, heard we under heaven no doughtier earl than thou—but greater grew thy glory fram wars—to govern. Athelings nine to Óthin— feeds the raven on flesh of fallen men—spread far thy fame aye—thou didst send forth. (Hollander's translation) In Norway's land was never known A braver earl than the brave Hakon. At sea, beneath the clear moon's light, No braver man e'er sought to fight. Nine kings to Odin's wide domain Were sent, by Hakon's right hand slain! So well the raven-flocks were fed -- So well the wolves were filled with dead! (Laing's translation)
Þorleifr is the protagonist of Þorleifs þáttr, a largely fictional work. He also has a role in Svarfdœla saga where some lausavísur are attributed to him. References- Lee M. Hollander's translation of the Heimskringla. {{ISBN|0-292-73061-6}}
