Solveig Guðmundsdóttir

Solveig Guðmundsdóttir (c. 1430 – 1501), was an Icelandic heiress and landlord.

This is an Icelandic name. The last name is patronymic, not a family name; this person is referred to by the given name Solveig.

She was the daughter and heir of judge Guðmundur Arason ríki and landlord Vatnsfjarðar-Kristín Björnsdóttir, the richest couple on Iceland. She is remembered in Icelandic history for her long feud with her uncle over her rich inheritance, which lasted during most of her life.
