  • In 1026, and Icelander named Stein came to Thorberg's house and sought sanctuary. Stein had killed one of King Olaf II's men and fled from Olaf's court, where he was a hostage. Ragnhild received Stein as a guest because he had once helped persuade a priest to come and baptize Thora, when she was born. (Thora was born in poor condition and not expected to live.) When Olaf heard of this he demanded that Thorberg come to him. Thorberg went to Olaf with a ship and men. He was accompanied by his brothers and their ships and by his brothers-in-law, Sigurd and Thord and their ships. With this force, Thorberg's brothers were able to secure Thorberg's safety and get the king to let Thorberg keep his lands. Olaf also agreed not to kill Stein, so long as he never came to his house again. Thorberg remained loyal to Olaf. He and his brothers, Fin, and Arne were among the people who accompanied Olaf when he fled Norway, after Canute had taken the country. Thorberg and Fin fought for Olaf at the Battle of Stiklestad. However, both of them survived the battle.
