King Harald Graenske, who, with another from Russia accidentally lodging beside him, got burned to death in Sweden, courting that unspeakable Sigrid the Proud, was third cousin or so to Tryggve, father of our heroic Olaf. Accurately counted, he is great-grandson of Bjorn the Chapman, first of Haarfagr's sons whom Eric Bloodaxe made away with.
Thomas Carlyle - Early Kings of Norway

In her high widowhood she had naturally many wooers; but treated them in a manner unexampled. By ill-luck for them they came once, from the far West, Graenske; from the far East, the Russian; and arrived both together at Sigrid's court, to prosecute their importunate, and to her odious and tiresome suit; much, how very much, to her impatience and disdain.
