Biography

His history is intertwined with that of Sleitu-Björn Hróarsson and the Skagafjörður region. He established his estate in Viðvíkursveit, which previously belonged to Sleitu-Björn. His grandson, Thorvardur Sage-Böðvarsson, built the first church in Hjaltadalur in 984. The Ásbirningar family clan claimed to be Öndóttur's descendants.
His son Böðvar Öndottsson appears in the Gull-Þóris saga.
