[EYSTEIN “Glumra/Clatterer” .

Orkneyinga Saga names “Earl Ivar of the Uplands, father of Eystein the Clatterer…”[128]. Jarl of the Uplanders in Norway [in Kristian? and Hedemarken, the area around Oslo].

i) [RAGNVALD "the Wise" (-[894]).

Orkneyinga Saga names “Eystein the Clatterer, father of the wise counsellor Earl Rognwald the Powerful…”[129]. Snorre names Ragnvald Earl of More, a son of Eystein "Glumra" when recording that he had become a supporter of King Harald who had invested him with the districts of North More and Raumsdal[130]. Jarl of North and South Möre and of Raumsdal in Norway.]

ii) [SIGURD "Riki/the Mighty" (-[892], bur Sydero, Dornoch Firth).

Orkneyinga Saga records that Ragnvald gave “all the islands” (indicating Shetland and Orkney from the context) to “his brother Sigurd, the forecastleman on King Harald´s ship” and that Harald I "Hårfagre" King of Norway gave “the title of earl” to Sigurd who remained in the islands after the king returned to Norway[131]. Orkneyinga Saga records that Sigurd “joined forces with Thorstein the Red, the son of Olaf the White and Aud the Deep-Minded” and together conquered “the whole of Caithness and a large part of Argyll, Moray and Ross”, Sigurd building “a stronghold…in the south of Moray”[132]. Orkneyinga Saga records that Sigurd defeated and beheaded “Mælbrigte Earl of the Scots” but that he died from an infected wound because a tooth in Mælbrigte´s head, strapped to Sigurd´s saddle, scratched his leg, and was buried “in a mound on the bank of the River Oykel”[133]. The Complete Peerage identifies the place as “Sydero on the Dornoch Firth at the estuary of the Ekkialsbakki[134]. The Complete Peerage dates Sigurd´s appointment as Jarl to [875] and his death to [892][135], but there seems no basis for either date apart from internal consistency with its reconstruction of events in the lives of this family. Both dates should therefore be considered as extremely approximate, and as noted below the earlier date leads to difficult chonological difficulties with the reported career of Sigurd´s nephew Turf-Einar.] [One child:]

(a) [GUTHORM (-[893]).

Orkneyinga Saga records that Sigurd was succeeded by his son “Guthorm who ruled the earldom for a year but died childless”[136]. According to Snorre´s Harald Harfager´s Saga, Sigurd died “without children” but his Saga of Olaf Haraldson names Guthorm as son of Sigurd, recording that he succeeded his father as earl for one year[137].]

iii) [MALAHULC .

Orderic Vitalis (who wrote in [1113]) names Malahulc as an uncle of Rollo and ancestor of the Tosny family[138]. He is not mentioned in the Sagas.] See TOSNY.

I henhold til Orknøyingenes saga går Ragnvalds Mørejarls ætt langt tilbake: . Den samme sagaen strekker hans ætt tilbake til en mytologisk opprinnelse til skikkelse ved navn Fornjot fra Finland eller Kvenland.

Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Olav den helliges saga: <96. Det er fortalt at Orknøyene ble bygd i de dager da Harald Hårfagre var konge i Norge; før hadde det vært vikingbøle der. Den første jarlen på Orknøyene het Sigurd; han var sønn til Øystein Glumra, og bror til Ragnvald Mørejarl. ...> 1)

[Kommentarer: Død 846? "Maer i Nord-Trøndelag" is nonsense - where?]
-------------------------

Note added by Mike King: Eystein's existence is doubtful. Even if he was real, it would be just about chronologically impossible for his wife to be a daughter of the father usually given for her; Ragnvald Olafsson.

Eystein is mentioned in several sources, but the so-called "Ascrida" (no Norwegian/Norse name, would have to be Astridr or Ása) is not mentioned in the sagas.

--------------------

Jarl är i äldre tider troligen benämningen en fri man av god ätt. Olav 'den helige' hade bara en jarl med rang efter kungen, men över lendman. Användes som titel för hövdingar, när Norge bildades. Efter Magnus 'Lagaböte' blev en jarl likställd med hertig, men fick inte sitta i högsätet vid kungen. Jarlnamnet gavs till de, som stod kungahuset nära; äktfödda söner, bror och nära ingifta. Siste jarlen i Norge var ärkebiskop Jörund, död år 1309. Öystein Ivarsson 'Glumra', som sannolikt föddes på Opplande i Norge. Då var vikingatiden ett faktum och de nordiska piraterna redan omtalade i den närmaste omgivningen. Ragnvald, Öysteins son, blev jarl på Möre i mellersta Norge. Om dessa nordmän vet vi föga annat än att de har levat. Källa: Alf Henriksson

Eystein Glumra, b. ca. 830, was Earl of the Upplands.

According to both the Heimskringla Saga and the Orkneyinga Saga, Eystein Glumra was the father of Rognvald. The Orkneyinga Saga says Eystein Glumra's earliest forebear was Fornjot, King of Finland and Kvenland. Fornjot's great-great-grandson was Thorri, or Fhorri, who had two sons, Norr and Gorr, who emigrated westward. Norr took the mainland called Norway and Gorr took the islands. Gorr's son Heiti was the father of Sveithi (Sveide), the Sea King, who died about 760. Sveithi's son, Halfdan the Old, who died in 800, was the father of Ivar, Earl of the Uplands. And Ivar, in turn, was the father of Eystein Glumra. RC 44 calls this man Eistein Ivarsson, son of Ivar, who was son of Halfdan the Old. So it follows the Sagas for three generations. There was no written language during this period, and the Norse sagas provided oral histories, much like those Alex Haley, author of "Roots," found in Africa.

Orkneyinga Saga names “Eystein the Clatterer, father of the wise counsellor Earl Rognwald the Powerful…”, adding that “Earl Rognwald campaigned with King Harald Fine-Hair who gave him charge of North More, South More and Romsdale”[784]. Snorre names "Ragnvald Earl of More, a son of Eystein "Glumra" when recording that he had become a supporter of King Harald who had invested him with the districts of North More and Raumsdal[785]. Snorre records that he was created Jarl of North and South Möre and of Raumsdal in Norway by Harald I "Hårfagre" King of Norway after his victory at Solskiel [869] against Hunthiof King of Möre and Nokve King of Raumsdal[786]. Orkneyinga Saga and Snorre both record that King Harald granted Shetland and Orkney to Ragnvald in compensation for the death of his son Ivar[787]. The Historia Norwegie records that "principi Rogwaldi" crossed the Solund Sea, destroyed the peoples of the Orkney islands, in the days of "Haraldi Comati regis…Norwegie"[788]. Snorre records that Ragnvald was ambushed in his hall and burned alive by Halfdan Haaleg and Gudred Liomi, two of King Harald's sons[789]. (Cawley's Medlands)
