Biography
Ólafur Björnsson
Birth: about 1380
Death: about 1403
"Died unmarried and without children, probably from the Black-death pandemic, and his sister Sigríður inherited his estate at Stóru-Akrar. Much confusion is in many sources regarding his connection to Vatnsfjarðar-Kristín, who seems to have been his niece (not his wife)" (Íslendingabók).[1] In 'Sýslumannaæfir' wrongly claims that Þorsteinn (Olafsson) Ólafsson (1378-1431) is their son, rather than his brother in-law.[2][3][1]
