Once there lived a woman at Hofdabrekka by the name of Jorunn. According to most of her contemporary neighbours she was widowed at the time, but many claim that her husband, Vigfus, still lived at her time of departure and that she sought access to his bed after her death. She was arrogant and very harsh tempered, but otherwise there are no negative tales of her. She had a grown up daughter, a very promising young woman. During the latter part of her lifetime, a young man, called Thorsteinn, stayed with her. He was said to be her foster son and was a kind and a very promising young man. He loved Jorunn’s daughter.
