Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Olav Trygvessons saga:

«19. Håkon jarl giftet seg med en kvinne som het Tora, datter til Skage Skoftesson, en mektig mann. Tora var en usedvanlig vakker kvinne. Sønnene deres het Svein og Heming, datteren het Bergljot, hun ble siden gift med Einar Tambarskjelve. Håkon jarl var svært glad i kvinner, og han hadde mange barn. En datter het Ragnhild, han giftet henne bort til Skofte Skagesson, bror til Tora. Jarlen var så glad i Tora at han holdt mye mer av Toras frender enn av noen andre; mågen Skofte var enda den han satte høyest av alle frendene hennes. Jarlen ha ham store veitsler på Møre. Hver gang de var ute i leidang, måtte Skofte legge sitt skip nærmest jarlens; det gikk ikke for noen annen å prøve å legge skipet sitt mellom deres.»

The Historia Norwegie names "filii comitis Haconis, Sweino et Ericus" when recording that, after their father's murder, they fled to Denmark where they were received by "rege Sweinone"[92]. He fled to Olav King of Sweden after his father was killed. With his half-brother Erik, he defeated Olav I King of Norway in the naval battle at Svolder, to revenge their father. The Historia Norwegie records that Svend King of Denmark appointed "filiis Haconis comitis" to rule Norway after King Olav was killed in battle, and that they ruled the country for 14 years[93]. He was defeated in battle by Olav Haraldson, who succeeded as Olav II King of Norway, escaping to Sweden where he died soon after[94].

The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified. Adam of Bremen refers to the marriage of "rex iuvenis Suein" and "consanguineam a Suedia", the king being threatened with excommunication by the Archbishop of Bremen and papal letters, his wife being named "Gunhild [vel Giuthe] reginam" in a later passage which records that after her separation she devoted herself to charitable activities on her estates[99]. m firstly ANUND JAKOB King of Sweden, son of OLUF "Skotkonung" King of Sweden & his wife Estrith of the Abotrites (-[1052]). m secondly ([1052], divorced 1054) as his first wife, SVEND II King of Denmark, son of ULF Thrugilson & his wife Estrid [Margrete] Svendsdatter of Denmark ([1020]-Søderup [29] Apr 1074, bur Roskilde Cathedral).

Eirik Håkonssons mor

Fagrskinna og Heimskringla skriver om Eiriks ungdomsår og forteller at han var sønn av Håkon Sigurdsson og ei kvinne av lav ætt som Håkon gikk til sengs med under et opphold i Oppland. I henhold til Fagrskinna var Håkon 15 år gammel, og som vanlig var lot jarlen gutten bli fostret hos Torleiv Spake i Meldal. Snorre Sturlasson forteller i Håkon jarls saga (side 113) at Eirik vokste opp og ble tidlig en kjekk kar, vakker å se til, og stor og sterk, men faren brydde seg lite om sønnen.
