Gunnhild combines the Old Norse gunnr (battle) and hildr (battle) — "battle-battle." **Gunnhild Konungamóðir ("Mother of Kings," c. 910-c. 980)** was the **wife of Eric Bloodaxe** and mother of several Norwegian kings — one of the most powerful and controversial women of the Norse sagas, often portrayed as a sorceress.
Featured in Heimskringla and Egil's Saga.
Gunnhild reduces to seven — the number of Norse Mother of Kings.
