Erik Whaleborn

Erik Whaleborn was a Viking and the first son of Solveig and Rig Reidarasson.

When his parents escaped for England, they hid inside a beached whale carcass with several loyal warriors and remained there for ten nights. Legend has it that Rig and Solveig made love in front of their fellow warriors from the first until the ninth day, when Erik was born. On the tenth day, the threat of the bounty-hunters was gone, so the family left, with Rig temporarily adopting his son's name until they could commandeer a ship to head for the coast of England in search of a new life.[1]
