Notes about Thorgil Styrbjornsson

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorgil_Sprakling

In the 18th century, Danish historian Jakob Langebek suggested this bear story was allegorical, and that the brutish 'Wild' Björn, father of Thorgil, was a reference to Jomsviking brigand leader Styrbjörn the Strong (Styrbjörn Starke),[5][6] depicted by sagas as the son of Olaf Björnsson, king of Sweden.[5][6][7] Styrbjörn's wife in the sagas is stated to have been Tyra of Denmark, the daughter of Harold Bluetooth, king of Denmark and Norway.[5][6][8] No primary source supports this royal ancestry for Thorgil, a connection almost impossible to maintain because of the chronological inconsistencies.[citation needed] Thorgil is believed to have died circa 1009.[citation needed]
