Some people are missing here. What are the sources leading us to this point and then jumping back?

Like it says in the overview: "Legendary Scandinavian king, known from a recital of ancestors in "Hversum Noregr Byggdist"." Anyone who hadn't earned a name in the saga would simply not exist in it. Dates don't get rational until the children of Eystein the noisy, or thereabouts. @Heytir Gorsson

I see it is 5 years ago since anyone commented on this, but is there any point in having a tree which records the son of Gor Thorrasson (365-418) as having a son born in 585?

Since this relationship is clearly not true, regardless of the "Legendary Scandinavian King" moniker, should it not just be removed?

Especially so since there are 3 "brothers" of Heytir which seem to be recorded in a much more correct time frame to be sons of Gor and clearly not actually brothers of Heytir?
