Nonneseter Abbey, Oslo, a Benedictine nunnery, which proves to be a turning point in her life. \nDespite being betrothed since childhood to a neighboring landowner\'s son, Simon Darre, Kristin falls in love with Erlend Nikulaussøn, from the estate of Husaby in Trøndelag. \nErlend has been excommunicated by the Catholic Church for openly cohabitating with Eline, the wife of a prominent judge; she left her elderly husband to live with him, flouting both religious and social law. \nThey have had two children together, Orm and Margret, who have no legal rights since they were born of an adulterous relationship. \nErlend and Kristin begin a passionate romance which is sealed with Erlend\'s seduction of Kristin and their eventual complicity in Eline\'s death, both grievous sins in the eyes of Church and State. \nLavrans forbids their relationship, but after three years of Kristin\'s defiance and the death of Ulvhild, he no longer has the strength to oppose Kristin. \nHe consents to her marriage to Erlend. \nErlend and Kristin are formally betrothed, but she becomes pregnant before the wedding. \nOut of shame, she keeps this a secret from everyone, including Erlend, and is wed with her hair loose and wearing the family bridal crown —- privileges reserved for virgin brides. \nThis section of the trilogy is named for the golden wreath Kristin wears as a young girl, which is reserved for virgins of noble family. \nIt symbolizes her innocent life before she meets Erlend; after he seduces her, she is no longer entitled to wear it, but does so out of fear of her sin coming to light. \nThe second book opens with Kristin\'s arrival at Husaby. \nShe is suffering from remorse for her sins and fears for her unborn child. \nHer relationship with Erlend is no longer the careless one of days past, as she can see that he is impetuous and wasteful of his possessions although his passion for her is unchanged. \nShe gives birth to a son, Nikulaus (Naakkve for short), who to her surprise is healthy and whole in spite of the circumstances of his conception. \nAfter confessing to her parish priest, Kristin undertakes a pilgrimage to st Olav\'s shrine in Trondheim to do penance and give thanks for her son\'s birth. \nShe donates her golden wreath, which she wore undeservedly after her seduction by Erlend, to the shrine. \nOver the following years, Kristin and Erlend have six more sons together and Kristin becomes the head of the household. \nShe must deal with her husband\'s weaknesses while running the estate, raising her children as well as those of Erlend\'s former mistress, and trying to remain faithful to her religion. \nDuring these years, her parents die and her remaining sister Ramborg is married to Simon Darre, although he secretly still loves Kristin. \nRamborg is only fourteen when she is married, but has pushed for this wedding as she has loved Simon since her childhood. \nShe understands little about what marriage means, particularly to a man who has been in love with someone else for many years. \nErlend, impulsive to the point of recklessness, runs foul of the political powers of his time and is imprisoned. \nThrough the efforts of Kristin\'s former fiancé, Simon, his life is spared but his property must be forfeited to the crown. \nHusaby is lost to them. \nThe only property left to the family is Kristin\'s childhood farm, Jørundgård. \nKristin, Erlend, and their children return to Jørundgård but fail to gain the acceptance of the community. \nHardship forges strong family bonds and highlights Kristin\'s sense of obligations to her family and her faith. \nHowever, she and Erlend become estranged from Simon and Ramborg after Erlend and Ramborg become aware that Simon has never ceased to love Kristin. \nKristin becomes increasingly concerned about the future of her sons now that Erlend has lost their inheritance. \nAfter a fierce argument on this subject in which she compares him unfavorably with her father, who had preserved his estate and inheritance even as more and more farmers around him were taking on debts and losing their land to the crown, Erlend leaves the manor and settles at Haugen, the former home of his aunt Aashild and the place where she was murdered by her husband. \nHe and Kristin reunite there briefly during his absence after the dying Simon extracts a promise from Kristin to ask Erlend\'s forgiveness for her harsh words. \nThey conceive an eighth son together, but Erlend refuses to return to the manor, instead insisting Kristin must move to Haugen to be with him. \nKristin is very angry and hurt, and when she gives birth, she names her son Erlend. \nThis is a terrible breach of custom, as local superstition maintains that children must not be named after living relatives or one of the two will die. \nIn this way, she demonstrates that she considers her husband dead to her. \nThe superstition is borne out, as the child weakens from the time he is given his father\'s name and soon dies. \nDue to the jealousy of her foreman\'s estranged wife, Kristin is publicly accused of adultery and complicity in the death of her child. \nHer sons rally around her, and Lavrans rides to inform Erlend. \nErlend immediately sets out for Jorundgård, but upon his return to the farm he is accidentally slain in a confrontation with the locals and dies, without a confession to the priest, in Kristin\'s arms after asserting her innocence. \nAfter handing the farm over to her third son and his wife, Kristin returns to Trondheim, where she is accepted as a lay member of Rein Abbey. \nWhen the Black Death arrives in Norway in 1349, Kristin dedicates herself to nursing the ill after she learns that her two eldest sons have succumbed to the plague. \nShortly afterwards she herself succumbs to the plague, but not before performing a final good deed which allows her to die in peace. \nUndset wrote a tetralogy, "The Master of Hestviken", which takes place around the same time as Kristin Lavransdatter. \nKristin\'s parents make a brief appearance in this book, near the end of the part called "The Snake Pit". \nThey are depicted as young married people, playing with their baby son. \nThey are a happy and prosperous couple at their first home in Skog, before Kristin\'s birth. \nThe unfortunate life of Olav, the main character of "The Master of Hestviken", stands in stark contrast to the happiness and good fortune of the young couple, though Kristin\'s parents eventually lose all their sons in infancy, and suffer many other misfortunes and sorrows.
