Little is recorded of Hlodver, but that he was a great Earl and married Audna, daughter of Kiarval O'Ivar, King of Dublin. Their son was Sigurd the Stout, and their daughter was Hvarflod (also named Nereide and Gormlath and Svanlauga), whom Sigurd gave in marriage to Earl Gilli of the Suderies when that warrior accompanied the sons of Njal to Orkney to meet the valiant Sigurd. After the marriage Gilli returned to the Suderies. [from Saga of Sons of Njal]. Hlodver, we are informed, died a natural death soon after his accession, and was buried at Hofn in Caithness.
