The couple had a son called Sveinn, but the marriage did not last long; the church considered the marriage illegal because they were too closely related – either because they were cousins, or because Sveinn had been married to her daughter – and they were threatened with excommunication if they did not separate.
Pernikahan itu tidak berlangsung lama; gereja menganggap pernikahan itu ilegal karena terlalu terkait erat – entah karena mereka sepupu, atau karena Svend sudah menikahi putrinya – dan mereka diancam dengan ekskomunikasi jika mereka tidak berpisah.
