Saadi was married to Norjd the Norse good of the sea. Their marriage was based upon her picking her husband based upon the appearance of their feet, thinking she had chosen Baldar but it was revealed to be Norjd.

Þór has 3 children, fathered with two women.

He has the son Magni with Járnsaxa (jötunn)
He has the daughter Þrúður (Þrúðr) with Sif
He has the son Móði (mother uncertain).

Magni at only 3 days old saves Þór’s life when Þór kills Hrungnir and Hrungnir falls down and his foot sits across Þór’s throat, leading to Magni being the only one able to lift it off and save Þór’s life.

Móði and Magni will inherit Mjöllnir when Þór falls at the death of Jörmungandr.

Sandefjord is a town not so far from Tønsberg where I live (about 100 km south of Oslo). The 3 most famous viking (long-)ships in the world were all found in this area called Vestfold (meaning “west of the fold=fjord”). It is packed with viking history, but not many tourists know this.

If you know what to search for, there is some information to be found in English (or you could always use Google translate). Scroll down this site where Sandejord is mentioned:

I dont know much more. My parents died when i was young. My family name was ericsson-sandifjord it was changed when i was young so i was told to ericsson-sandford. English people could not pronounce it or spell it so my father changed it to help them. I am an englishman and proud to be so but my roots are viking and norsk
