Controvertial among other things for modern scholars who don't know what to do with him.
In his own day, he wanted to control his see (Kolbeinn, mentioned in the article, had other ideas,
considering G a puppet who would be in charge of the liturgy but nothing else.) Like so many bishops
around this time, he spent a large part of his episcopate exiled from his see.

Okay, I'll bite. What makes him controversial? (apart from being named Guğmundr ... I mean, could you imagine what a pain that had to be when he had to fill in the bubbles on standardized tests?)

Just realized I missed the chance to note the anniversary of the controvertial Icelandic holy man, Guğmundr Arason, Bishop of Hólar, d. 1237.
