Child(ren):
Son of Gudrod Bjornsson and great-grandson of Harald Fairhair, who was the first king of Norway. He was born around 947 and died around 995, the actual dates are unknown. His last name "Grenske" is due to his being raised in the district of Grenland, Norway. According to Snorri Sturlasson's "Olav Trygvesson's Saga" he was a minor king in the regions of Vestfold, Vingulmark, and Agder. At the age of 11, his father was murdered by the sons of Gunnhild (i.e., Harald Greyhide and his brothers). He fled to Oppland and eventually to Sweden, residing with the warrior Skagul Toste, and went on Viking expeditions within the Baltic Sea region. He eventually returned to Norway where he was loyal to Haakon Sigurdsson, who ruled Norway as a representative of the Danish king Harald Bluetooth. He married Asta Gudbrandsdatter after he became the ruler at Vestfold and Agder. He abandoned Asta to pursue his romantic interests in Sigrid the Haughty, who was the daughter of Skagul Toste, and wealthy widow of Eric the Victorious. She disapproved of his overtures and had him burned to death inside a great hall following a feast to discourage other potential suitors. Soon after his death, Asta gave birth to his son, Olaf the Stout, who was to become king of Norway as Olaf II, and eventually its patron saint after his death.
