The legendary kings of Denmark are the predecessors of Gorm the Old , half history and half legend.

Gormflaith ingen Murchada was born in Naas , County Kildare , Ireland , around 960. She was the daughter of Murchad mac Finn, King of Leinster , sister of his successor, Mael M rdha mac Murchada , and widow of Olaf Cuaran , the Viking king of Dublin and York . The main source of her life history is the Cogadh Gaedhil re Gallaibh . She was also the mother of King Sigtrygg Silkbeard of Dublin. Gormflaith married M el Sechnaill mac Domnaill after Olaf s death, but she is best known for being the third wife of Brian Boru Brian Bor , the High King of Ireland . She was the mother of Donnchad, who succeeded Brian as King of Munster. In 999, Brian defeated Mael Mordha and Sigtrygg Silkbeard at the Battle of Glen Mama . To negotiate peace, Brian married one of his daughters to Sigtrygg and took Gormflaith as wife. According to Nj l s saga , which refers to her as Kormlo she was endowed with great beauty... but was utterly wicked. She was later divorced by Brian, and she began engineering opposition to the High King. She prompted Sigtrygg into gathering support from Vikings outside Ireland, most notably Sigurd the Stout Earl Sigurd of Orkney and Brodir and Ospak of Man Brodir of the Isle of Man . The conflict she caused came to its climax at the Battle of Clontarf , at which Brian was killed. Brian s forces were victorious, however, and neither Gormflaith nor Sigtrygg were killed, as they were safe behind the walls of Dublin. She died in 1030.

Refimprove date November 2009 Dag Ringsson ? ? was a Norwegian chieftain from Oppland . According to Snorri Sturluson , Dag Ringsson was a descendant of Harald Fairhair . His family had settled in Sweden , where Dag was a nobleman at the service of the Swedish king. In 1026, King Olaf II of Norway had lost the Battle of the Helge , and in 1029 the Norwegian nobles, seething with discontent, rallied round the invading Cnut the Great of Denmark, forcing Olaf to flee. During his exile, King Olaf stayed some time in Sweden in the province of N rke with Sigtrygg of Nerike . While in Sweden, King Olaf was able to recruit Dag and his manpower to his project of recapturing Norway. Dag Ringsson was a member of King Olaf s army at the Battle of Stiklestad in 1030. After King Olaf had fallen at Stiklestad, Dag led his forces for the remainder of the battle. However, the peasant army soon overwhelmed the remnants of the king s men.

Gyda Eiriksdottir of Hordaland , floruit 872 was a legendary Norwegian Viking age queen consort, according to the sagas the first queen of united Norway . The legend of Gyda describes the unification of Norway as somewhat of a love story. Gyda was the daughter of one of the petty kings of pre united Norway, Eirik King of Hordaland Eirik, king of Hordaland . Princess Gyda was proposed to by Harold Fairhair , king of the petty kingdom Vestfold . She answered that she refused to marry Harald before he was king over all of Norway . Harald was therefore induced to take a vow not to cut nor comb his hair until he was sole king of Norway, and that ten years later, in 872, he was justified in trimming it whereupon he exchanged the epithet Shockhead or Tanglehair for the one by which he is usually known. He was now king of united Norway he sent for Gyda and reminded her of the promise she made, and they were married. Most scholars today regard this story as a literary tale inspired by the Romance genre romance stories that were popular at the courts by the time Heimskringla was written.
