Who was the founder of Iceland?

Ingolf Arnarson, or Ingólfur Arnarson in modern Icelandic, was the first confirmed Norseman to permanently settle Iceland in 874 AD.By 930 AD most arable land was considered claimed, and Iceland was first founded as a state then, with the founding of the national parliament. But the parliament was founded by a number of people, so I don't think you can claim there is a single founder of Iceland..

Who was the king of Iceland when Leif Erikson went on his journey?

There was no king of Iceland at the time Leif went on his journey. Iceland was at the time, what can only be described as a federation, which was formally founded when the parliament, the assembly that ruled Iceland at the time, the Alþingi (Althing) was founded in the year 930. The head of the parliament, the lawspeaker had no formal power, and therefore wasn't really the head of state. Iceland had no king and no ruler; Iceland was a commonwealth ruled by no one; ruled by everyone.See the related link below to the Wikipedia article on the Icelandic Commonwealth, Leif was said to have gone on his journey in the year 1002 or 1003, there is a list of lawspeakers on the article.Iceland's first king was Haakon IV of Norway, whom ruled Iceland from 1262-1263, when Iceland entered a union with the Kingdom of Norway.The only king to be, officially, king of Iceland, and not just king of Norway or some other country, was Christian X of Denmark; king of Denmark and Iceland.But, the king of Norway, however, when Leif set sail west to the end of the world in the years 1002 or 1003, was Eric of Hlathir, but he had no power over Iceland.
