Alberich was a dwarf living in the Orkney Islands who worked as a weaver. He was a cousin of the famous goldsmith. In 910, both dwarves took a second job as a hired hand on the salt mill of the giantess Menia, whose daughter Fenia was leaving home to travel the world.[1] When Fenia returned the next year, Alberich thought they would have to give up this job, but Menia suggested that the dwarves could assist in baby-sitting the children Fenia planned to have with her husband-to-be, Cubbie Roo.
