GUNNHILDR.
Variant spelling of Old Norse Gunhildr
(q.v.), meaning "war battle-maid," from gunnr "war," and hildr
"battle" (poetically "maiden").
... And when Thórðr grew up,
he was mighty and strong, promising, hard and furious against all whom he
thought little of, but friendly towards the people; he was munificent with
his money, gentle of conversation, and a streadfast friend; he was a great
jovial man, the most nimble at sports, could swim better than any one, and
was a good poet. At the time when this happened, the sons of
Gunnhildr reigned over Norway; and when Thórðr
grew up, he wished to become one of the men of King Gamli, the son of
Gunnhildr, who of all men was the most beloved King of Norway, with the
exception of Hákon Aðalsteinsfóstri. (Summer Traveling in
Iceland, Coles, 1882).
