 | | Herbastus may have also married Sigrid (Cynthia) the Haughty, queen of Sweden, somewhere in between her marriages to King Erik VI and Sweyn I Forkbeard (son of Harald Bluetooth), and she may be the mother of his children. |
 | | Either way, Herbastus eventually went with his children (Herfast, Gunnora, Aveline, Sybille, and Sainfrie) to northern France where other Norsemen had settled, to the place called Normandy, and he became the forester of Arques and lord of Crepon. |
 | | And this Herfast was a mighty noble in Normandy, for his sister was the duke’s wife, and he served at the court of his brother-in-law, Richard I, and perhaps for a short time at the court of his nephew Richard II, before he died. |
