Raforta Cearbhallsdatter was the daughter of King Cearbhall of Leinster in Ireland. She was married to Eyvind Austmann Bjørnsson. Their son, Helgi, was born in the Hebride Islands and was also fostered there. (In those days, kings sons were often raised by some other ruler with whom they were in league.) When his parents came back to the islands to see how their son was getting along they found a boy with nice eyes but without meat on bones. This became the cause of his nickname Helgi the Skinny (or the Lean). Because of this Raforta and Eyvind took him from the Hebrides and had him fostered in Ireland.
Raforta Cearbhallsdtr. var datter av kong Cearbhall av Leinster i Irland. Hun ble gift med Eyvind Austmann Bjørnsson. Sønnen Helgi ble født på Hebridene og ble også oppfostret der. Da foreldrene hans et par år senere vendte tilbake til øyene for å se hvordan det gikk med sønnen deres, fant de en gutt med pene øyne men uten kjøtt på bena. Dette kom av at han hadde blitt sulteforet. Han fikk derfor tilnavnet Helgi den magre. Raforta og Eyvind tok ham derfor med seg og sørget for at han ble oppfostret i Irland.
