 Around 975 , over his wife 's objections , Olaf went on a second expedition to Norway . There he stayed with a Viking named Geirmund the Noisy and visited Haakon Jarl , the latter of whom gave him a cargo of timber to take home as a gift . On his return Olaf reluctantly brought Geirmund with <unk> and Geirmund fell in love with Olaf 's daughter Thurid . Though Olaf was opposed to the match , Geirmund bribed Thorgerd to be his advocate , and Olaf relented . The marriage was an unhappy one , and after three years Geirmund decided to return home without leaving any money for the support of his ex @-@ wife and daughter . Enraged , Thurid boarded his ship before he departed , stole his famous sword " Leg @-@ Biter , " and left their infant daughter <unk> on the ship . Geirmund cursed the sword , and on his return to Norway he and all of his shipmates , including little <unk> , were drowned .
