Ragnhild "the Mighty" EIRÍKSDÓTTIR
- Born: Abt 870
- Married: Abt 894
- Died: Abt 898
Research Notes:
Snorre names "Ragnhild the Mighty", a daughter of King Eirik from Jutland" as one of the wives of King Harald, commenting that "it is said that he put away nine wives" when he married her. No indication has been found in the primary sources so far consulted about which King Rörik may have been Ragnhild's father. However, from a chronological point of view it is more likely that he was the most junior of the kings of this name. According to Snorre, "Queen Ragnhild the Mighty" lived three years after she came to Norway.
