The Historia Norwegie names "Gudrodus" as son of "Berno…filius Harald Comati". Snorre names Gudröd as the son of Björn & his wife, recording in a later passage that he was brought up by his paternal uncle Olav after his father was killed. Along with his cousin Tryggve, he supported his uncle Haakon after the latter's return to Norway and was installed as King in Vestfold 935, ruling through an appointee as he was "in the years of childhood".
He was murdered by King Harald II.
Married Cecilia, daughter of ---. Snorre records that Gudröd made "a good and suitable marriage" but does not name his wife. 1
