====Einar Thorvaldsson====
Jarl Einar Thorvaldsson is the founder of Sigurdshaugr.  He first encountered the area while on a raid downriver from Kebec. He put ashore for the night in a cove in the river, and found that there was a large meadow near, and abundant supplies of timber and game.  On a nearby promontory, his crew found a burial mound, with a stone atop it insrcibed "Sigurd Ulfbani." Two years afterwards both of his sons went on a viking into the interior, and their ship never returned. Einar was devastated by the loss of both his potential heirs at once, and his wife died shortly therefter leaving him alone save for his adolescent daughter. He fell into a deep melancholy for a year and a half, until one day he seemed struck by a feeling of great energy.  He arranged a marriage to the daughter of a fellow viking captain, and began to talk of accomplishing something more with his life. Finding hinself with a great deal of loot from his vikings, and a loyal band of followers who were now passing with him into middle age, he decided that it would be a brave deed to found a settlment where he could live with his new wife and have a legacy to leave a new family.  He took his faithful folowers, and a number of young and landless men and sailed to the Howe of Sigurd, where he constructed a hall and began to clear the forests nearby.  His daughter, Signe, was married to a local Skraeling Cheiftan to cement peace between honorable foes.
