Refused, he with his followers, fought against and killed Harald Redbeard and carried away Ase. They had a son, Halfdan the Black. When Halfdan was a year old, Ase conspired to kill Gudrod. A servant of hers ran a spear through him. When Ase died, she was buried with many possessions in a beautifully carved Viking ship. Ship and possessions are displayed at Bygdoy (the Oseberg ship).
