Who is Jórunn skáldmær?

Jórunn skáldmær was a Norwegian skald active in the first half of the 10th century. Only two stanzas and three half-stanzas of her Sendibítr were preserved, mostly in Snorri Sturluson's works. The Sendibítr, which deals with a conflict between Harald Fairhair and his son Halfdan the Black, is the longest recorded skaldic poem composed by a woman.
