| 释义 |
FamilyKveldulf was the son of Bjalfi and Hallbera Ulfsdóttir, daughter of Ulf the Brave and sister of Hallbjorn Halftroll. He was thus first cousin to Ketil Trout of Halogaland and a kinsman of the latter's descendant, Ketil Trout of Namdalen.[2] Kveldulf married Salbjorg Karadottir, the daughter of the Viking chieftain Berle-Kari; he was thus the brother-in-law of the Viking Eyvind Lambi and the skald Olvir Hnufa. Kveldulf and Salbjorg had two sons, Thorolf and Grim (who was better known as Skalla-Grímr or "Bald Grim").[1] Opposition to King HaraldKveldulf opposed the rising power of Harald Fairhair, king of Vestfold, but refused to join the coalition against Harald led by King Kjotve the Rich of Agder, and would not fight in the army of the kings of Sogn. He permitted his son Thorolf to join Harald's retinue and was permitted to live in peace despite failing to swear allegiance to the king. DeathWhen Thorolf was killed by King Harald's men, Kveldulf was overcome with grief and "took to his bed."[3] After having a request for compensation refused by the king, Kveldulf and his son Skalla-Grímr took revenge by killing Thorolf's killers before fleeing Norway for Iceland. On the way, exhausted by his "berserker fit", the elderly Kveldulf died. Skallagrim built his farm at Borg, near where Kveldulf's coffin washed ashore.[4] Notes1. ^1 Egils saga, ch. 1. 2. ^Landnamabok 5:3. 3. ^Egils saga ch. 26. 4. ^Egils saga ch. 27. References
