Persona
Rúnfríðr's ancestors lived in Birka before it was abandoned, and they migrated to Sigtuna, the new seat of King Eric the Victorious. Rúnfríðr or "Runa" was born in the year 1019, and spent nearly all her life in Sigtuna and the surrounding Uppsala region. The town sat on Lake Maleren, in modern day Sweden, and was home to around a thousand residents. Many foreigners lived there, sharing their goods, knowledge, and skills.

Three kings ruled from Sigtuna during Runa's life (Olaf, Anund, and Emund) and they mainly minted coins and dealt with foreign affairs.
Runa’s husband farmed and she took care of household. They had just enough money to build a larger home with more than one room. Their entire extended family shared this house, and the goats came in too when it was cold. A fire for heat and cooking was in the middle of the biggest room and there were benches along the walls. Their house had dirt floors, no windows, and was often filled with smoke from the fire. Runa often made scouse, a stew made from beans, grains, and tree bark. Her family also ate a lot of meat and fish. Runa liked when there were fresh apples and cabbage. She or one of the other women would bake bread to go with the scouse, though sometimes the bread upset their stomachs. Runa bathed on Saturdays in the nearby bathhouse, visiting with her friends from town. The bathhouse was a luxury because the townsfolk all helped cart hot water in and it steamed up like a sauna.
