Halldóra Eyjólfsdóttir


Halldóra Eyjólfsdóttir became the first abbess of Kirkjubæjar Abbey in 1189, three years after its foundation by Bishop Þorlákur Þórhallsson, and thereby the first abbess in Iceland.
Her family and origin is unknown, except for a brother, who died in 1211. After her death in 1210, no other abbess is known of the convent until Agatha Helgadóttir in 1293.
