  === Life Sketch ===
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_and_Erlend_Thorfinnsson:
  Paul Thorfinnsson (died 1098) and Erlend Thorfinnsson (died 1098) were brothers who ruled together as Earls of Orkney.[1][2] Paul and Erlend were the sons of Thorfinn Sigurdsson and Ingibiorg Finnsdottir.
  Through Ingibiorg's father Finn Arnesson and his wife, the family was related to the Norwegian Kings Olav II and Harald II.[3]
  They are both described as "tall, handsome men, shrewd and gentle, taking rather more after their mother's side of the family.[4] Their lives and times are recounted in the Orkneyinga Saga, which was first written down in the early 13th century by an unknown Icelandic author.[5]
