Guðrún Ósvífrsdóttir  Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir was a 9th century Icelandic woman who was famed for her beauty and was married four times. She is the main protagonist of the Medieval Icelandic "Laxdœla saga", which recounts the history of the People of Laxárdalur. It is widely thought that the saga represents some historical fact. Guðrún was the daughter of Ósvífr Helgason and Þórdís Þjóðólfsdóttir. She grew up at Laugar in Sælingsdal. Her future marriages were foretold when she relayed four dreams, each represented one of her marriages to come. There exists a thermal bath called Guðrúnarlaug reportedly at the site where the dreams were interpreted by Gestur Oddleifsson. Her first marriage to Thorvaldr Halldorsson ended in divorce. It was a brief unhappy marriage, however after the divorce she acquired half of his estate. Her second husband Thord Ingunnarsson drowned at sea. She gave birth to his son soon after, naming him Thord. After her second husband's death she was courted by the two foster-brothers Kjartan Óláfsson and Bolli Þorleiksson. Guðrún preferred Kjartan, but she gave herself to Bolli, because of a false rumour that Kjartan was engaged to Ingibjörg, the sister of King Óláfr Tryggvason. The two foster-brothers engaged in hostilities which ended with Bolli killing Kjartan, and Bolli being killed by Kjartan's kinsmen. Her second son, Bolli Bollason, was born the winter after the killing of his father when her son Thord was only four. They grew up at Helgafell, after his mother Guðrún exchanged homes with chieftain Snorre Torgrimsson ("Snorri Goði"). In 1020, Guðrún married for the fourth time, this time to Thorkell Eyjolffsson, who became a great chieftain in his own countryside and took over the running of the household at Helgafell. Thorkell was fond of both his stepsons, but Bolli was regarded as "being the foremost in all things".
