Notes for this person
Tora Torbergsdatter (born 1025 - year of Death unknown: fl. 1066) was a Norwegian royal consort. She was the mother of two kings of Norway. It is possible, but unconfirmed, that she was also queen of Denmark and Sweden.
Tora Torbergsdatter was born on Giske in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. Tora Torbergsdatter belonged to the powerful Norwegian Giske family. She was the daughter of Torberg Arnesson (ca. 1000–1050) and Ragnhild Erlingsdatter, maternal grandchild of Erling Skjalgsson and niece of Finn Arnesson and Kalv Arnesson.
She was the second spouse of King Harald Hardrada. She was married to King Harald in 1048, while he was already married to Elisaveta Yaroslavna. The marriage between Tora and King Harald can largely be explained by politics and alliance building. The chiefs of the Giske family played a key role in power politics. The relationship between Tora and Harald Hardrada created strong ties with the royal family.
Tora became the mother of Both King Olav Haraldsson and King Magnus Haraldsson. After the death of King Harald in 1066, she is claimed to have married either King Sweyn II of Denmark or King Haakon of Sweden, but neither marriage is confirmed.
