Bjaðok
Bjaðok, also known as Bjaðök and Biadoc, was a twelfth-century woman who was the mother of Eysteinn Haraldsson, King of Norway. In the first half of the twelfth century, Eysteinn was brought to Norway and claimed to be the son of the previous king, Haraldr gilli. The latter was himself the son of a Gaelic mother and claimed to be a son of an earlier king. The claims of Bjaðok and Eysteinn were accepted and the latter went on to rule as king for fifteen years. Bjaðok's name appears to be an Old Norse form of a Gaelic name, and she may well have been a member of a prominent family. According to modern tradition, Haraldr gilli's wife was an aunt of Somairle mac Gilla Brigte, King of the Isles.
==Bjaðok, Eysteinn's mother==
Eysteinn Haraldsson (died 1157) was a son of Bjaðok and Haraldr gilli, King of Norway (died 1136).〔Waßenhoven (2006) p. 240.〕 Following Haraldr gilli's death, two of his sons, Sigurdr munnr (died 1155) and Ingi (died 1161), jointly ruled the Norwegian realm as kings.〔Taylor (1965) p. 121.〕 According to ''Haraldssona saga'', within the saga-compilation ''Heimskringla'', in 1142, the sixth year of the reigns of Haraldr gilli's co-ruling sons, Sigurdr munnr (died 1155) and Ingi (died 1161), as an adult, Eysteinn was brought to Norway from west over sea by Árni sturla, Þorleifr Brynjólfsson, and Kolbeinn hrúga. Bjaðok accompanied the men to Norway, and Eysteinn was put forward as a son of Haraldr gilli who deserved a share of the kingdom. Once his claim was accepted, Eysteinn was recognised as king.〔Hollander (2009a) ch. 13; Salvucci (2005) p. 162; Sellar (1966) pp. 129–130; Anderson (1922) pp. 204–205; Storm (1899) pp. 599–600 ch. 13; Unger (1868) pp. 737–738 ch. 13.〕 ''Fagrskinna'' and ''Morkinskinna'' give similar accounts although these sources do not identify Bjaðok by name.〔Salvucci (2005) p. 162; Finlay (2004) p. 262; Andersson; Gade (2000) p. 389 § 95; Jónsson (1932) p. 441; Jónsson (1903) p. 351.〕 Bjaðok's Old Norse name appears to correspond to either the Gaelic ''Blathach'',〔Power (2005) p. 21 n. 20; Craigie (1897) p. 444.〕 ''Bláthóc''〔Sellar (1966) p. 130 n. 1; Anderson (1922) p. 205 n. 1.〕 or ''Bethóc''.〔Power (2005) p. 21; Sellar (1966) p. 130.〕 It is conceivable that Eysteinn and Bjaðok had powerful relatives who backed their claims. Despite his Gaelic background, there is no hint of Eysteinn's interest in his homeland upon his arrival in Scandinavia.〔Power (2005) pp. 21–22.〕
