Veleif is the eldest son of Koll Alriksson and Svanhild Arnthordottir. Veleif grew up close to the sisters Halldora and Thorballa, daughters of Cnut and after saving Cnut’s life in battle, earned the right to wed one of them, but both wanted his hand in marriage, so they both agreed to marry him.
Velief went on to have one daughter named Aldis, the eldest child, and a son named Hunbogi with Thorballa and had three other daughters, Estrid, Asvor, and Bolla with Halldora. The three were happy with the life they had forged. Thorballa would serve on Koll’s ship, helping Ingithora in her task of navigating the sea while Halldora stayed home with the children. They lived in Koll’s great hall along with Velief’s other siblings.
