- Flóamanna saga
According to Flóamanna saga, Ragnhild was the daughter of king Sigurd Hjort, whose mother was Áslaug, daughter of Sigurd orm-i-auge, son of Ragnar lodbrok and Áslaug, daughter of Sigurd Fáfnisbane and Brynhild Budlasdatter.
She married Halfdan Svarte, king of Sogn and Opplandene, after the deaths of his first wife, Thora Haraldsdatter, and of their son Harald the Young.
The son of Halfdan and Ragnhild was Harald, who was first named Dovrefostre, then Harald Luva, then Harald Hårfagre.
Research Notes
The saga genealogies that link Harald Hårfagre to kings in Eastern Norway are generally considered to be constructed in order to provide more royal provenance for later kings. The actual Harald Hårfagre was more likely a petty king from Rogaland/Hordaland and not actually connected to the Oppland kings. Østenstad-1 14:14, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
