Notes about Harald I Bluetooth King Of Denmark

Acceded: 940.
Compelled His People To Become Christian Against Their Will.

Harald Bluetooth, likewise, was married to a Slavic princess - Tove Mistivojsdotter. Since he was married to Gunnhild at the time of his conversion [to Christianity], Tove was no doubt his second wife, and heprobably married her after accepting Christianity. . .

A rune stone, which can still be found in eastern Jutland, bears this inscription: "Tove, daughter of Mistivoj, wife of Harald the Good Gormsson, had this memorial made for her mother."

We hear of at least three children of Harald who survived him. One - adaughter of Queen Tove - was named Tyra. She married Styrbjorn Starke,the exiled nephew of Sweden's king Erik Segersall (Erik the Victorious).Styrbjorn had found refuge at Harald's court and perhaps had entered intoa marriage alliance with Harald at that time. Harald Bluetooth is saidto have supported Styrbjorn in his efforts to wrest Sweden away from Erikthe Victorious, but the expedition failed.

Tyra and Styrbjorn became parents of Thorgils Sparkalagger ("KickingLegs") who in turn is said to have been grandfather of the famous SvenEstridsson and thus ancestor of a great many Danish monarchs, down to thepresent time. [Royal Families of Medieval Scandinavia, Flanders, & Kiev]
