Osterdal is a district described in the Heimskringla as "very thinly inhabited, and full of lakes and forest-clearings, and but in few places was any great neighbourhood together" (Heimskringla, 173. Of Bjorn the Bailiff). The district fell under the management of Bjorn the bailiff (Heimskringla, 173. Of Bjorn the Bailiff), situating Osterdal within the administrative geography of the Norwegian kingdom. It is connected to the nearby district of Hedemark and to figures including Queen Astrid, Sigurd, Dag, and Raud.
