c) GUTHORM (-killed in battle 854). The Annales Fuldenses record the war in 854 between "Horih regem Danorum et Godurm filium fratris eius" in which both were killed, leaving only "unus puer" as the sole surviving member of the Danish royal family[90]. Adam of Bremen records that "Gudurm principe Nortmannorum" challenged "patruo…rege Danorum Horico", specifying that the only survivor of the conflict was "puerum unum…Horicum"[91].

Ovennævnte Sigfred (Gormsen) har formentlig haft en yngre broder, som dog ikke nåede at blive konge. I slaget ved Brunanburh (i England) 937 falder der mange normanner, og blandt disse omtales specielt Ivar, konge af Danmarks egen søn. Jeg har tidligere troet, at det var en af Dublin-kongernes sønner Ivar, men det passer ikke sammen med nogen der. Det er snarere [Gorm], der havde en søn Ivar som deltager i dette berømte slag. Som død 937 kan han ikke bidrage til at udfylde kongelisten for Østdanmark. (Omtalen af denne Ingvar forekommer i Clonmacnois-annalerne AC 931). Han er i øvrigt den mest oplagte kandidat til at være begravet i Ladby-skibet.
