______________________________________

Gunhild's relation to Aslak Erlingsson of Sola is probably a misreading of

Snorri Sturlasson's Heimskringla, The Saga of St. Olav, chapt. 31, saying

that Gunhild was married to Aslak (not his daughter). This seems to be a

mixup with her sister Sigrid. Chapt 131 says Sigrid is the wife of Aslak.

Gunhild was divorced from Svend Estridsen ca 1054.

... from Brynjulf Langballe, Norway

Gunhild married Anund Jacob, son of Olof Skötkonung Eriksson of Sweden and Estrid of the Obotrites. (Anund Jacob was born in 1008 and died circa 1050-1052.)

Gunhild next married Svend II Estridsson of Denmark, son of Ulv jarl Torgilsson and Estrid Svendsdatter. The marriage ended in divorce circa 1054. (Svend II Estridsson of Denmark was born circa 1018-1020 in Denmark and died on 29 Apr 1074 in Doderup, Abenraa, Denmark.)


Gunhilda Sweynsdottir was the daughter of Sweyn, Jarl. She married Svend II Estrithson, King of Denmark, son of Ulf Thorgilson, Earl in England and Astrid Sveynsdottir. She died circa 1060

Note that none of Sven Estridsen´s children are children of the queen(s) nor can they be connected to anybody particular of the concubines. They all have unknown mothers.
