Karl
Pantheon: Norse Mythology

On his second journey, the god Rig came upon a well-maintained house, owned by an artisan and farmer. The man and woman who lived there were Afi ("Grandfather") and Amma ("Grandmother). They offered him a decent meal and let him sleep between them in their bed. Nine months later, Amma gave birth to a son, whom they named Karl ("churl").

Karl married Snör, and they had twelve sons and ten daughters. Their descendants formed the race of peasants.
