Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudr%C3%B8d_Bj%C3%B8rnsson
Gudrød Bjørnsson was the son of Bjørn Farmann, the king of Vestfold, and a grandson 
of Harald Fairhair. Gudrød was the father of Harald Grenske, and the paternal 
grandfather of Saint Olaf.

After Gudrød's father had been killed by Eric Bloodaxe, he lived with his uncle Olaf 
Haraldsson Geirstadalf, the king of Vingulmark. Olaf rebelled against Bloodaxe, but 
was killed in battle, and so Gudrød had to escape to Oppland.

When Haakon the Good had become king, Gudrød was given Vestfold, his father's 
kingdom, as a fief.

Gudrød was slain in the vicinity of Tønsberg, by Harald Greyhide, who feared a 
rebellion from his subordinate kings.
