Thorstein the Red or Thorstein Olafsson was a viking chieftain who flourished in late ninth-century Scotland. BiographyHe was born around 850 AD and was the son of Olaf the White, King of Dublin, and Aud the Deep-minded, who was the daughter of Ketil Flatnose.[1] After the death of Olaf, Aud and Thorstein went to live in the Hebrides, then under Ketil's rule.[2] Thorstein eventually became a warlord and allied with the Jarl of Orkney, Sigurd Eysteinsson.[3] Together Thorstein and Sigurd waged a series of campaigns in Caithness, Sutherland, Ross, Moray, and a number of other regions, eventually receiving tribute from half of Scotland.[4] However, the Scottish chieftains plotted against Thorstein, and he was killed; the exact nature of his death is unknown but it probably took place around 880 or 890. After Thorstein's death Aud left Caithness, sojourning for a while in Orkney before settling with other members of her clan in Iceland.[5] Thorstein married Thurid, the daughter of Eyvind the Easterner. Thorstein and Thurid had a son, Olaf Feilan, and a number of daughters, including Groa, Thorgerd, Olof, Osk, Thorhild, and Vigdis.[6] A woman named Unn, wife of Thorolf Mostur-beard, claimed to be the daughter of Thorstein, but this claim was viewed by other Icelanders with scepticism.[7] Ancestry{{ahnentafel|collapsed=yes |align=center |boxstyle_1=background-color: #fcc; |boxstyle_2=background-color: #fb9; |boxstyle_3=background-color: #ffc; |boxstyle_4=background-color: #bfc; |boxstyle_5=background-color: #9fe; |1= Thorstein "the Red" Olafsson |2= Olaf "Hviti" Ingjaldsson |3= Auðr "djúpúðga" Ketilsdóttir |4= Ingjald "Hviti" Helgasson |5= |6= Ketil/Ketill "Flatnefr" Bjǫrnsson |7= Ingveld/Yngvid Ketilsdóttir |8= Helgi Olafsson of Dublin |9= Thora/Tora Sigurdsdotter |10= |11= |12= Bjorn "Buna" Grimmsson/Grimsson |13= Velaug Vikingsdatter |14= Ketil/Ketill "Wether" |15= |16= Olaf Guðrǫðrsson "Geirstad-Alf" |17= |18= Sigurðr "ormr í auga" Ragnarsson |19= Heluna "Blaeja" |20= |21= |22= |23= |24= Grimm/Grim Hjallrsson/Hjallsson/Hjaldursson |25= Hervor Helgasdatter |26= Viking "Skaanoyskjelmer" |27= |28= |29= |30= |31= }} See also
