She appears prominently in sagas such as Fagrskinna, Egils saga, Njáls saga, and Heimskringla. The sagas relate that Gunnhild lived during a time of great change and upheaval in Norway. Her father-in-law Harald Fairhair had recently united much of Norway under his rule. Shortly after his death, Gunnhild and her husband were overthrown and exiled. She spent much of the rest of her life in exile in Orkney, Jorvik and Denmark. A number of her many children with Erik became co-rulers of Norway in the late tenth century. see more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnhild,_Mother_of_Kings [S25] Geni World Family Tree, (MyHeritage), https://www.myheritage.dk/research/collection-40000/geni-world-family-tree?itemId=4325069&action=showRecord (Reliability: 4).
