Who is Halldórr skvaldri?

Halldórr skvaldri was an Icelandic skald who lived in the first half of the 12th century.

He sang the Útfarardrápa about the feats of Sigurd I of Norway during his voyage to the Holy Land. After Sigurd's death, he probably served Magnus Barefoot.

He made poems for nine powerful men, including the Swedish jarls Sone Ivarsson, Karl Sönason and for the Swedish kings Sverker I of Sweden and Jon Jarl.
