Notes:
                   Astrid fled after King Trygve was killed.  She was pregnant with King Olaf at the time.  Olaf was born on a small island where she hid. When it got cold, Astrid made her way to her father's house where she spent the winter.

The following spring, Gunnhild sent men to find and take Olaf. However, Eirik heard about it and helped his daughter and grandson escape.    They made their way to the home of Hakon Gamle the Old in Svithjod.  Hakon was a friend of Eirik's.

In 966, Astrid set sail to Gardarike (Russia) to join her brother Sigurd who was a high servant of King Valdemar.  However, vikings attacked their ship.  Olaf and his mother were separated and Olaf was sold into slavery.

Many years later, a nobleman from Viken saw Astrid for sale at a market in Eistland.  Astrid begged him to buy her and take her home. Lodin agreed to do so if she would be his wife.  Astrid agreed and they were married when they returned to Norway.
