With Bjorn, she had one daughter named Siggy.
Bjorn and Pórunn became acquainted in season two of Vikings and by the end of the season, the pair had confessed their love to each other.
When Pórunn began training to become a shieldmaiden like Bjorn’s mother Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) released her from her servitude.
In season three, Pórunn travelled to Wessex to be with Bjorn, against his wishes.
However, Bjorn was right to be worried about Pórunn’s safety, as she was brutally beaten by a Mercian warrior while pregnant.
Thankfully, Pórunn gave birth to a healthy daughter named Siggy but as a result of her injuries, Pórunn had fallen into a deep depression.
Pórunn alienated Bjorn from her, despite his insistence that he loved her and was happy.
Her current whereabouts are unknown and she was last seen leaving Kattegat while the warrior, including Bjorn, were away invading Paris.
Whether Pórunn will return in season six remains unclear but there is nothing to suggest she will or will not return.

Fans on Reddit have spoken of their confusion over Pórunn’s sudden absence from the show.
One fan wrote: “This was such a weird storyline…. I keep expecting her to show up again.
“The real answer is probably along the lines of having to write her out of the show bc she either got another part or something…. That was odd.”
A second fan added: “She pretty much exiled herself because she thought she wasn’t beautiful anymore, and then the kid they had together died I believe.”
A third fan suggested: “Porunn showed signs of Post Partum Depression. I think she just wanted to get away with everything.”
