Biography

Från Sagan om Ragnar Lodbrok och hans Söner;

Herrud (Herröd) hette en mägtig och berömd Jarl i Gautland, som var gift och hade en dotter Thora, den skönaste bland kvinnor, och väl öfvad i alla slags nyttiga handarbeten. Man hade gifvit henne tillnamnet Borgarhjort, eller Hinden i borgen.

Biography

Research Note

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.
