ARNE . m ---. The name of Arne´s wife is not known.

Arne & his wife had four children:

• a) THORBERG Arnesson . Snorre names "Thorberg, Fin and Arne" as the sons of Arne[26].
• b) FIN Arnesson (-1062). Snorre names "Thorberg, Fin and Arne" as the sons of Arne[27]. Of Yriar in Austratt Lendermann Norway. Morkinskinna records that “Finnr Árnason” left Norway for Denmark where “King Sveinn gave him a jarldom and a great fief”, dated to the early 1050s from the context[28]. Jarl of Halland in Denmark [1051]. m THORBERG [Bergliot] Halfdansdatter daughter of HALFDAN Sigurdsson & his wife --- ([1018/20]-). Snorre names "Bergliot, a daughter of Halfdan…son of Sigurd Syr" as the wife of "Fin Arnason"[29]. Her birth date is estimated from the marriage date of her paternal grandparents, but bearing in mind the tight chronology for the birth of her daughter Ingebjörg.
• c) ARNE Arnesson . Snorre names "Thorberg, Fin and Arne" as the sons of Arne[35].
• d) KALF Arnesson (-1050) . Snorre names Kalf as brother of Fin Arnason[36]. Morkinskinna records that “Kálfr Árnason” had been promised “a jarldom by King Knútr if he would topple King Óláfr”, but adding in a later passage that he made peace with Olav´s son Magnus when he returned to Norway[37]. Orkneyinga Saga records that “Kalf Arnason” fled Magnus King of Norway and found refuge with his niece´s husband Thorfinn Jarl of Orkney[38]. Morkinskinna records that “Kálfr Árnason” disputed with King Magnus and fled to Orkney[39]. Snorre records that Kalf was killed in battle in 1050[40].

FIN Arnesson & his wife THORBERG [Bergliot] Halfdansdatterhad two children:

• i) INGIBJÖRG Finnsdatter ([1030/35]-). Orkneyinga Saga names Earl Thorfinn´s wife as “Ingibjorg, the Earls´-Mother, daughter of Earl Finn Arnason” and niece of Kalf Arnason[30]. Snorre names "Ingebjorg, the earl-mother…a daughter of Fin Arnason" as wife of Earl Thorfin[31]. Morkinskinna records that “Thorfinn jarl [of] Orkney” was married to “Kálfr´s sister Ingibjorg Árnasdóttir” at the time Kalf Arnesson fled Norway[32]. The chronology is certainly tight for Ingibjörg to have been Kalf´s niece, if it is correct that she was already married when Kalf fled Norway, which must be dated to [1040/42] from the context in Morkinskinna. Her birth date is estimated on the basis of the estimated birth dates of her mother and her older son, both of which are restricted. Orkneyinga Saga records that “Ingibjorg the Earls´-Mother” (widow of Thorfinn) married “Malcolm King of Scots, known as Long-neck” and that “their son was Duncan, King of Scots, father of William”[33]. There must be considerable doubt about whether this can be correct. Ingibjörg's [first] husband died in [1060/65]. King Malcolm's marriage to Queen Margaret is dated to 1070, three years after her arrival at the Scottish court. Although this provides sufficient time for the king to have married Ingebjörg, and for Ingebjörg to have died, the chronology for the birth of two sons would be tight. In addition, it is unlikely that either of these sons was born after [1065], as explained in the document SCOTLAND. If the king had really married Ingibjörg during this time, and if she had given birth to two sons, the absence of any reference to her in either Scottish or English sources is all the more surprising. It is possible that King Malcolm's marriage to Ingibjörg (if it did take place) was more Danico, implying concubinage rather than regular marriage, but this does not change the chronological difficulties. The one puzzle which remains, if the Saga is not correct, is why the author would have fabricated this detail. m [firstly] ([1045/50]%29 THORFINN "the Black" Jarl of Orkney, son of SIGURD "Digri" Jarl of Orkney and Caithness & his wife --- of Scotland ([1009]-[1060/65]]). [m secondly ([1066]) as his first wife, MALCOLM III "Caennmor/Bighead" King of Scotland, son of DUNCAN I King of Scotland & his wife Sibylla of Northumbria (1031-killed in battle near Alnwick, Northumberland 13 Nov 1093, bur Tynemouth, later transferred to Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, and later still to Escorial, Madrid).]
• ii) SIGRID Finnsdatter Snorre records that "Sigrid, Fin [Arnason]'s daughter" was married to "Earl Orm"[34]. m ORM Eilivsson, son of EILIV & his wife Ragnhild Haakonsdatter (-[1055]).
