Personal History

"I was born a good day’s walk from Hafrsfjord, four summers after King Harald laid waste to Eirik of Hordaland, Sulke of Rogaland, and the rest of the petty men who called themselves “king”.
I was the fifth child to be born to my parents. Soon after, my mother divorced my father, Pall Donaldson. He stayed at the family’s farm and my mother remarried and moved west. To where – I do not know, I was but a boy. My father remarried as well, to Sandey Riksdottir, a Swede. I stayed on the farm until I was of age, then I went a viking to find my fortune, as I was not going to inherit my father’s farm.
