Erik the Red left Iceland because he was banished. He was banished because his two thralls destroyed Erik's neighbor's farm, and his neighbor was allowed to choose his thralls' punishment. He chose to kill them. Erik was so mad, that he killed his neighbor. He was banished from Iceland for three years. So he sailed west and found Greenland. Like father like son. Erik was in Iceland because his father was banished from Norway because his father was convicted of manslaughter.
