Glöð
Glöð ("glowing embers"; sometimes anglicized as Glod) is a legendary queen who figures in the Norse Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar.
She is a daughter of Grímr of Grímsgarðr in Jötunheimr and his wife Alvör, the sister of King Álf the Old of Álfheimr. She is also the wife of Logi, also referred to as Háloge, with whom she had two daughters, Eysa or Eisa ("glowing embers") and Eimyrja ("embers").[1]
Glöð is sometimes wrongly ascribed to Loki rather than Logi.
