Guðný Böðvarsdóttir

Guðný Böðvarsdóttir (c. 1142 – 1221) was an Icelandic farm manager and matriarch in the Sturlungar clan. Her three sons, Þórðr, Sighvatr, and Snorri Sturluson, were important chieftains in the Age of the Sturlungs and its violent feuds. A manager of farms at Hvamm, Staðr, Eyri, and Reykholt, she appears as a character in Sturlunga saga and Eyrbyggja saga.
