Vemund Kamban
Vemund Kamban was a 9th-century King of the Kingdom of Firda (in modern-day Vestland, Norway). He briefly assumed control over the region following the death of his brother, King Audbjørn of Firda, during the unification of Norway by Harald Fairhair. Vemund is most prominently recorded in Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla (specifically Harald Fairhair's saga), which details his resistance against King Harald and his subsequent death in a traditional hall-burning (hús-brenna) at Naustdal.
