The Saga of Hervör and Heithrek describes two Hervoers. Hervör was a commander killed in battle with her brother; her grandmother, the viking Hervör, challenged her father Angantýr's ghost in his gravemound for his cursed sword Tyrfing, and bore Heithrek (also of the saga's title), father of the other Hervör. The two are thought by some be the same character, duplicated[1].
