Roskva

was a farmer's daughter who became a servant of the god Thor. When Thor stopped at her father's house and asked for food and shelter they were too poor to provide meat, so Thor offered his own goats on the condition that no hones were broken. But Roskva's brother Thialfi broke one of the thigh bones and when Thor came to resurrect the goats one of them had a limp. The enraged god was only pacified by the promised service of Roskva and Thialfi, who travelled with him thereafter.
