Research Notes
Alternative spellings of merged profiles has been added to the Other Last Name Field in order to find duplicates. Please do not remove these.
Not sure what the Vendal domain refers to? Vendel is by some said to be the same as Vendsyssel Denmark? See Wikipedia Some say it refers to locations in Norway, either Vennesla or Vetland/Vetteland which in old Norse was named Vendilslá.
Relationships between historical figures could have been simplified or even fabricated in the text to give the impression that succession remained within the same family….Precise chronology is also difficult to assess from the Sagas….The conclusion must be that the tight family network described in the Sagas is unlikely to be correct and that the relationships shown below should be treated with considerable caution.
