Notes on the family tree

  • Skulda is called Rolf Krage's sister, and on that basis the family tree presents her as the child of both Helghe and Yrse, although this isn't explicitly stated. A similar assumption has been made for the sister of Rorik Slengeborre.
  • The chronicle says that "Some say" Ake killed Hartwar and became king, but the primary version of the story is that Hartwar was killed by Wigge, so Aki is not included on this family tree.
  • The King of Britain, whose daughter marries Amblothe, appears in the chronicle but not on this family tree.
