Page "Starkad" Paragraph 7

Álfhildr was the daughter of king Álfr of Álfheim ( modern Bohuslän ) and like the people of Álfheim, she was very beautiful.

One autumn, king Álfr performed the Dísablót, a sacrifice to the goddesses, and Álfhildr took part in it.

As she was reddening the horgr ( altar ) with blood, Starkad kidnapped her.

King Álfr called on the god Thor to help him rescue his daughter.

Thor granted his wish by killing Starkad and rescuing the girl.
