Person:Kristina Alvsdatter Spendelsko (1)

Etter Ranes død slo Kristina seg ned ved Tønsberg. Hun hadde firesønner som en vet om, men etter folkevisen var det 12 barn, det siste født etter at faren var henrettet. Tre av dem slo seg ned i Norge.

English translation (with help from Google translate): After Rane died, Kristina lived at Tønsberg. She had four sons that we know of, but by folk song there were 12 children [undoubtedly an exaggeration, given that she was likely married less than 10 years], the last born after his father was executed. Three of them settled in Norway.
