User:Undius/Hámundur heljarskinn Hjörsson

Hámundur heljarskinn Hjörsson (c.846) was a ninth-century Viking ruler known as one of the first settlers of Eyjafjörður, Iceland. He was the twin brother of Geirmundur heljarskinn and son to the King of Hordaland, Hjör Hálfarson.

According to the Landnámabók, Hámundur undertook the settlement alongside his father-in-law Helgi Eyvindarson. Hámundur was the first to arrive at Árskógsströnd, Svarfaðardalur established property South of Hörgá, in Hámundarstöðum. Having learned that his cousin Örn had founded a settlement in Arnarfjörður, he decided to move in order to be closer to him, building a new farm at Arnarnes. He was the first goði of Esphælingar clan.

Hámundur first married Helga Ingunn, a relationship from which a son, Þórir Hámundsson, was born. After Ingunn's death, he married his own sister Helga, after she had been widowed by Auðunn rotinn Þórólfsson.
