| - Tora Mosterstong (nórdico antiguo: Þóra Morstrstǫng Káradóttir — también Thora Mostaff — n. 895) fue una de las concubinas de Harald I de Noruega y madre de Haakon el Bueno, el más joven de los hijos del rey Harald y que fue el tercer rey de una Noruega unificada (c. 935 – 961). También fue madre de Ulfljotr Haraldsson. Según la Saga de Harald de los Cabellos Hermosos, Tora era hija de Horda-Kåre, un importante e influyente caudillo vikingo de Hordaland. Aunque Snorri habla de ella como concubina y sirvienta, algo que comporta interpretaciones erróneas, hay que tener en cuenta que Horda-Kåre era uno de los más viejos aliados del rey Harald y uno de los oficiales de alto rango que le apoyaron en la batalla de Hafrsfjord. El hecho que Tora compartiera espacio con el rey, debió ser parte de la complicidad de los clanes familiares para mantener buenas relaciones según la tradición nórdica. (es)
- Tora Mosterstong (Old Norse: Þóra Morstrstǫng)—also known as Thora Mostaff—was one of Harald Fairhair's concubines and the mother of Håkon the Good; Harald Fairhair's youngest son and the third King of Norway (c. 935–961). According to Snorri Sturluson's Saga of Harald Fairhair (Soga om Harald Hårfagre), Tora was from the island of Moster and was descended from the clan (ætt) of (Hǫrða-Kára) : «When king Harald was nigh on 70 years old, he had a son with a woman named Tora and was called Mosterstang, her clan was from Moster, and she had good friends, she was related to Horda-Kåre. She was a steady woman and very beautiful; she was counted the king's servant. There were many then who served the king, though they were of good lineage, both men and women. As concerns the children of goodfolk, it was custom to mind well who would ladle water over them and give them their name. When the time approached that Tora expected to give birth to the child, she wanted to travel to king Harald, he was north on Seim, and she was on Moster. She sailed north on Sigurd jarl's ship. They put ashore for the night, and there Tora gave birth to her child up on the slate by the gangplank; it was a boy. Sigurd jarl ladled water over the boy and named him for his own father Håkon Ladejarl; the boy soon grew beautiful and large of body and looked much like his father. Harald let the boy follow his mother, and the two were at the king's farms while the boy was small.» Snorri consistently speaks of Tora as concubine and maidservant, which tends to produce the wrong connotations. Horda-Kåre was one of Harald Fairhair's old allies, and held high office at the Battle of Hafrsfjord. When Tora had a place with the king, it must have been part of a conscious policy to keep the two clans close. (en)
