The Vikings had an old tradition of homicide jurisdiction, someone who had killed had to leave the country. The father of Erik the Red was sentenced to leave Norway because he had slain someone, he sailed to Iceland where he spent the rest of his life. Erik the Red himself left the Norwegian colony in Iceland in 981/82 because of the same reason and sailed to and settled down in a land he discovered and named Greenland. In 1000 Erik's son Leif Eriksson set sail, discovered North America in1001 and built a first camp called L' Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland which was excavated and restored in 1960.
So we know of one son Erik the Red did have: Leif Eriksson.
