Biography

Eyvindur „austmaður“ Bjarnarson

He had Helgi 'Magri' Eyvindsson with Rafertach (Rafarta) Maccearbhall in Ireland.

He was also the father of at least four more children, but it's not known if Rafarta was their mother as well.

• Snaebjorn Eyvindsson (~840 - )
• Thurid Eyvindsdatter (~850 - )
• Bjorg Eyvindsdatter (~ 850 - )
• Thorhild Eyvindsdatter

Relationships between historical figures could have been simplified or even fabricated in the text to give the impression that succession remained within the same family….Precise chronology is also difficult to assess from the Sagas….The conclusion must be that the tight family network described in the Sagas is unlikely to be correct and that the relationships shown below should be treated with considerable caution. http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/NORWEGIAN%20NOBILITY.htm

Research Notes

Birthyear is an estimated date from Íslendingabók. (Thorisdottir-4 20:45, 7 May 2021 (UTC))

Sources

• The database Íslendingabók contains genealogical information about the inhabitants of Iceland, dating more than 1,200 years back. Íslendingabók is a collaboration project between deCODE genetics, a research company in the field of medical genetics, and Friðrik Skúlason, an anti-virus software entrepreneur. The project's goal is to trace all known family connections between Icelanders from the time of the settlement of Iceland to present times and register the genealogical information in a database.

In the creation of the Íslendingabók database we have used various sources and both unpublished and published documents. Most of the genealogical information comes from sources such as church records, national censuses, inhabitants registers and other public documents, but in addition to these sources there are chronicles, books of convictions, various publications on genealogy, books about individuals within specific occupations, lists of descendants and ancestral records as well as memorial articles to name but a few.

Íslendingasagnaútgáfan, Reykjavík 1946-1949- 66. kafli - Björn hét maður ágætur á Gautlandi; hann var son Hrólfs frá Ám; hann átti Hlíf, dóttur Hrólfs Ingjaldssonar, Fróðasonar konungs. Eyvindur hét son þeirra. - Björn varð ósáttur um jörð við Sigfast, mág Sölvars Gautakonungs, og brenndi Björn hann inni með þremur tigum manna. Síðan fór [[Hrolfsson-5|Björn til Noregs með tólfta mann, og tók við honum Grímur hersir son Kolbjarnar sneypis, og var (hann) með honum einn vetur. Þá vildi Grímur drepa Björn til fjár; því fór Björn til Öndótts kráku, er bjó í Hvinisfirði á Ögðum, og tók hann við honum. Björn var á sumrum í vesturvíking, en á vetrum með Öndótti, þar til er Hlíf kona hans andaðist á Gautlandi. - Þá kom Eyvindur son hans austan og tók við herskipum föður síns, en Björn fékk Helgu, systur Öndótts kráku, og var þeirra son Þrándur. Eyvindur fór þá í vesturvíking og hafði útgerðir fyrir Írlandi. Hann fékk Raförtu, dóttur Kjarvals Írakonungs, og staðfestist þar; því var hann kallaður Eyvindur austmaður. - Þau Raförta áttu son þann, er Helgi hét; hann seldu þau til fósturs í Suðureyjar. En er þau komu þar út tveim vetrum síðar, þá var hann sveltur, svo að þau kenndu hann eigi; þau höfðu hann bruttu með sér og kölluðu hann Helga hinn magra; hann var fæddur á Írlandi.
