Sweyn II Estridson (Jelling), King of Denmark is my 24th Great Grandfather

Is this correct ??
Death April 28, 1074
Burial 1076

According to the information I have, he is my 25th Great Granfather. But Who knows if is true?Best regards Kirsten Holm

You should be my 16th cousin, It is nice to hear from you. I am surprised to have relatives almost everywhere !

Yes it is correct!

Only one fault, Sweyn II Estridson was known by that name In Sweden and Denmark, but in Norway they called him Sweyn Ulfson.

It's the death / burial discrepancy, that's in the question, methinks. Gap of two years.

Sorry, but he seems to have died the same year he was buried in a pillar tomb inside the Roskilde Cathedral. S. døde paa Kongsgaarden i Søderup i Slesvig 28. April 1076 (de danske Aarbøger have, sikkert urigtig, 1074) og blev begravet i Roskilde Domkirke.
