Havardr is the second son of a branch family of the Svartrsung, two years junior to Stigandr. Whereas the elder son showed a talent for song, Havardr took to words and the oral tradition. When Stigandr left with Bjorne to apprentice in the skaldic arts, their father took the opportunity to keep Havardr close to home and learn the ways of the law. Their father was quite conscious regarding the minor place of the family in an obscure clan that was once heralded across the land, and he meant to change that. If one son was to become a skald, a noble thing among the people of the land, then the other would become a law speaker, and become counsel to jarls or even kings. Thus, under his father's watchful eye and strict tutelage, Havard learned the histories that informed their people and their law. Rather than tales of glory and riches, Havardr learned accounts of petty murder that ended at execution blocks and of how slights to honor could be repaired by gold.<br/> | Havardr is the second son of a branch family of the Svartrsung, two years junior to Stigandr.
