When Trygve was killed, she was pregnant and fled with her foster father, Thorolf 
Lusarskeg, to an island on a lake and gave birth to Olaf. She remained all summer but 
went to Ofrustad (Oberstad), her father's home in the late fall. In the spring she had to 
flee as Queen Gunhild wanted to get Olaf and raise him. She then decided to go to 
Gardarike (Russia) where brother Sigurd Erikson held a high position. They were 
captured on the Baltic Sea by Vikings. Thorulf was killed, an Esthonian took Olaf and 
he remained there from 967-972.

In 996? a high born man named Lothin from Vik was in Esthonia and saw a woman to 
be sold as a slave that he recognized as Asthid, who was now pale and peaked. She 
begged him to buy her and take her home to her kinsfolk, but he said he'd do so only 
if she would marry him. She was desperate and agreed. They had a son Throkel Nose 
and daughters Ingirith and Ingigerth.
