Princess of Nólsoy

They settled on Nólsoy, in Corn Valley or Korndalur, at a time when the island had been left uninhabited after the Black Death, and they had a son.

The princess's father discovered where his daughter and her husband were living and came intending to kill them, but the first person he saw on the shore was his grandson, whom he recognised, and his heart was softened.

[1] In an alternative version of the story, the princess saw the king's fleet arriving, told her husband to hide away, and took the child down to the shore to meet her father.

He pardoned his daughter and her husband and invited them to return to Scotland: they refused the offer and lived the rest of their life on Nólsoy, where some inhabitants claim to be their descendants.

[1][3] The princess was celebrated in a 2017 issue of postage stamps: the theme for the annual Europa competition was "Castles and palaces", and the Faroe Islands have never had any other resident royalty.
