Thorolf is well known for his travels with Bjorn and giving his own ship to Eric Bloodaxe to help lessen the grudge held against him by Eric’s father Harald Fairhair. The feud between Skallagrim and Harald, however, continued with the present of a poorly crafted axe that Skallagrim tried to return to Harald but Thorolf instead intercepted the return and in turn gave Harald thanks instead.
