Chapter 1. KINGS of the DANES, 9th CENTURY

Europäische Stammtafeln[8] sets out the outline genealogy of a family referred to as "the Kings of Haithabu". The first two generations are reproduced below, unchanged. The primary sources on which these two generations are based have not yet been identified, except as otherwise indicated below. The information in the later generations of the Europäische Stammtafeln chart is not completely supported by the information obtained from the primary sources so far consulted. It has therefore largely been ignored in the reconstruction of the later generations of the family. Considerable doubt persists about the precise relationships between the 9th century Danish rulers.

SIGEFRID [Sigurd] ([750]-798). First "King of Haithabu". The Annales Fuldenses record that "Sigifridi regis Danorum" sent "Halbdani…cum sociis suis" as missi to a council held by Charles I King of the Franks at "Lippia"[9]. One child:

a) ONUND ([790]-).

HARALD ([750]-killed in battle in the Irish Sea 804). Second "King of Haithabu". m IMHILD, daughter of WARNECHIN Graf von Engern & his wife Kunhilde von Rügen. Three children:

a) HALFDAN (-killed in battle Walcheren 810). Third "King of Haithabu".
b) HARALD ([775/80]-murdered Haithabu 804). Fourth "King of Haithabu".
c) HOLGER ([780]-807). Danish.

HALFDAN Mildi ([750]-802, bur Borro). King of Vestfold.
