Eystein HALFDANSSON

(Abt 736 - )

Erik had no son, so Eystein obtained Vestfold as his wife's inheritance. Eystein died while pillaging in Varna. King Skjöld of Varna, a great warlock, arrived at the beach and saw the sails of Eystein's ships. He waved his cloak and blew into it which caused a boom of one ship to swing and hit Eystein so that he fell overboard and drowned. His body was salvaged and buried in a mound.
