Leif's childhood he had a shall (a slave like person), but he treated him like a brother and they did almost everything together. Around the age of ten, Leif had to move to Greenland because his father was banned from Iceland and he couldn't move to Norway because his father was previously banned from there to. Also at the age of ten, he got a very expensive dagger, which he kept all the time and never lost.
Leif Eriksson would have worn clothing made from natural materials such as wool and linen. This would typically include tunics, trousers, and possibly a cloak for warmth. The style of clothing would have been simple and practical for the harsh conditions of the time.

Leif Eriksson sailed back to Norway, where his family was living at the time.

So as he was sailing to Greenland, his ship got blown off course and ended up in North America. He was the first European to set foot on this ground but he wasn't the first to see it. An Icelandic sailor named Bjarni Herjulfsson had seen it first but didn't explore the land.
