Vestfold is a Norwegian district attested in the Hervarar Saga as a kingdom. Harold of the Red Moustache was King of Agthir, and "a daughter of his, also called Asa, was married to Guthröth, King of Vestfold" (Hervarar Saga ok Heidreks, Book V). This marriage connection places Vestfold within the network of Norwegian petty kingdoms linked through dynastic alliances.
Vestfold is connected to numerous figures in the Norse political landscape, including Halfdan the Black, Eystein, and Gudrod Bjornson, reflecting its centrality among Norwegian kingdoms.
