Eyvind Lambi

Who is Eyvind Lambi?

Eyvind Lambi or Eyvind Lamb was a Norwegian viking and hersir of the late ninth and early tenth centuries, known from, among other sources, Egil's Saga. Eyvind was the son of the viking Berle-Kari and brother-in-law of Kveldulf Bjalfason, who married Eyvind's sister Salbjorg Karadottir; he was thus uncle to Skallagrim and Thorolf Kveldulfsson and great uncle to the famous poet Egil Skallagrimsson. Eyvind also had a brother named Olvir Hnufa, who became a famous skald at the court of King Harald I of Norway.
