According to the sagas, they had inadvertedly killed a native from the tribe they were trading with. The guard of the armory was told not to let any of the natives approach the weapons, and guard killed one outright when one of them did.

Why didn't the Vikings stay in North America?
The Vikings did not stay in North America because they faced challenges such as hostile encounters with indigenous peoples, harsh weather conditions, and limited resources for sustaining their settlements. These factors made it difficult for them to establish a permanent presence in the region.
Which of the cities is the farthest from the vikings homeland?

Why they decided not to stay in North America is unknown, and only speculations can be made. Seeing as they managed to travel as far as this, it would be no surprise if they have travelled even further to other areas of the world, but as of yet, no evidence or proof has been found.
