Olaf the Mighty, Helgi Halfdansson

Records show Helgi as the father (Helgi Halfdansson) and Olaf as the mother and vice versa. Helgi is most times shown to be a male name, and honestly, the vision of a short and stout, heavily muscled woman wearing a Viking hat and a terribly fierce expression is too much to resist, so I left it as is.

Became king in Jómsborg after the death of his father, his doing.

Proclaimed king of Norway after the battle of Svolder (Svöld) in 1000

First king to mint coins

Duke of Upper Lorraine. Captured at war with Emperor Otto the Great and died in exile

On 15 Jul 1658 Mary (Faunce) married Sergeant William Harlow, in Plymouth, MA. Born ca 1624 in prob. England. William died on 25 Aug 1691 in Plymouth, MA. Occupation: cooper. Sources: 5 23

HARLOW, WILLIAM - Savage and Pope were wrong in their treatment of William Harlow and were corrected by George Ernest Bowman, "Sergeant William Harlow of Plymouth and William Harlow of Sandwich Were Not the Same Person," MD 12:193. The William Harlow of Plymouth town died 25 August 1691 in his sixty-seventh year (Ply. Town Recs, 1:202; Ply, Ch. Recs. 1:271), and thus was bom ca. 1624. He was on the 1643 ATBA for Plymouth; he was a grandjuror on 7 June 1653 (PCR 3:32); and he became a freeman on 6 June 1654 (PCR 3:48). In 1656 he was a highway surveyor for Plymouth, and in 1661 he was a constable for Plymouth (PCR 3:100, 215).

He was among those granted land on 3 June 1662 at Taunton (PCR 4:20). By the late 1660s he was known as Sergeant Harlow. On 1 June 1669 Sgt. William Harlow was a selectman for Plymouth (PCR 5:19), and on 15 September 1673 he became a deputy (PCR 5:135).

He married (1) on 20 December 1649 Rebecca Bartlett, daughter Of Robert Bartlett and his wife Mary Warren (daughter of Richard Warren); (2) 15 July 1658 Mary Faunce, daughter of John Faunce; and (3) 25 January 1665/66 Mary Shelley (PCR 8:8, 21, 26). In the settlement of his estate, dated 9 September 1691, his widow is Mary Harlow, and his surviving children are sons Samuel, William, Nathaniel, and Benjamin, and seven unnamed daughters (MD 12:195). On 12 April 1667 Sgt. William Harlow made an agreement with Secretary Nathaniel Morton and his wife Lydia to put out his son Nathaniel Harlow, near two and one-half years old, with the Mortons until he was twenty-one (PCR 5:10). The agreement between Harlow and Morton showed that the Mortons "desired" the child, and it provided that in case Nathaniel Morton died before the child was seven years old, William Harlow would pay 10 pounds to Lydia Morton to help in the maintenance of the child. Nathaniel Morton in his 1685 will gave a young cow and calf to his kinsman Nathaniel Harlow, son of William, and requested his loving kinsman Sgt. William Harlow to be a supervisor of his will (Ply. Colony LR 5:350). The kinship between Harlow and Morton would have been through Harlow's second wife, Mary Faunce, whose mother, Patience Morton, was a sister of Nathaniel Morton, and thus Nathaniel Harlow would have been Nathaniel Morton's nephew. William Harlow's children by his first wife were William, Samuel, Rebecca, and William; by his second wife, Mary, Repentance, John, and Nathaniel; and by his third wife Hannah, Bathsheba, Joanna, Mehitabel, Judith, and Benjamin (MD 12:195). An early article, Theodore P. Adams, "The Harlow Family," NEHGR 14:227, is undocumented and has known errors. The house of William Harlow is still standing in Plymouth and may be visited during the summer; it is said to contain original beams from Plymouth's first meetinghouse-fort, and is known as the "Harlow Old Fort House."

A Frankish woman, gifted embroiderer and was interested in religious foundations. Charles gave her the nunnery of Chelles.

(Ermengarda, Ermengarde, or Irmingard) was the only daughter of Louis II, Holy Roman Emperor. In 876, she married Boso V, Count of Vienne, who declared himself King of Provence in 879.

In May 878, she and her husband sheltered Pope John VIII, who was taking refuge from the Saracens, in Arles. After her husband's coup d'état in October 879, she helped defend his cities from her Carolingian relatives. In 880, she successfully defended Vienne itself, the capital, from the combined forces of Charles the Fat and the kings of France, Louis III and Carloman. In August 881, the newly-crowned Emperor Charles the Fat pillaged and burned Vienne, focing Ermengard and her children to take refuge in Autun with her brother-in-law Richard, Duke of Burgundy. Meanwhile, Boso fled into Provence.

On Boso's death in January 887, the Provençal barons elected Ermengard to act as his regent, with the support of Richard. In May, Ermengard travelled with her son Louis to the court of Charles the Fat, and received his recognition of the young Louis as king. Charles adopted Louis as his son and put both mother and son under his protection. In May 889, she travelled to Charles' successor, Arnulf, to make submission anew.

Daughter of Ingerman, Count of Hesbania (Hesbaye, now in Liège, Belgium) and Hedwig of Bavaria.

Her paternal grandfather Gunderland, Count of Hesbania was himself a son of Sigrand, Count of Hesbania and Landrade of Austrasia. Landrade was reportedly daughter of Charles Martel by either Chrotrud or Swanachild.

Ermengarde married in 794/795 Louis the Pious, king of Aquitania, king of Franks, king of Italy, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire.

She had six children :

Lothair I, born 795 in Altdorf, Bavaria

Pepin of Aquitaine, born 797

Adelaide, born. ca. 799. Possible wife of Robert the Strong, possible mother of Odo, Count of Paris and Robert I of France.

Rotrude, born 800.

Hildegard / Matilda, born ca. 802. Wife of Gerard, Count of Auvergne, possible mother of Ranulf I of Poitiers.

Louis the German, born ca. 805.

She died at Angers, France on 3 October 818. Louis was married to Judith a few years later and became father of Charles the Bald.

Margrave Ernest of Austria, the Brave (1027 – June 10, 1075 at Homburg an der Unstrut) was a Babenberg ruler of Austria from 1055 to 1075, following his father Adalbert. He increased the territory by amalgamating the Bohemian March and the Hungarian March into Austria. In his time, the colonization of the Waldviertel began by his ministerials, the Kuenringer knights. In the Investiture Controversy, he sided with Emperor Henry IV and in a battle against the Saxons.

Emund Eriksson (?- ca. 970) was a Swedish king of disputed historicity. According to Adam of Bremen, Emund was allied with Harold Bluetooth. Adam of Bremen only gives Eric the Victorious as successor to Emund, but he does not tell how they were related. He may very well have been the brother of Björn (III) Eriksson, who the Norse sagas name as the father of Eric the Victorious. This would have been in accordance with the Germanic system of co-rulership (Diarchy) in which two brothers were elected kings, and which was evidently used by the Swedes.

Björn (ruled 882-932) was the father of Olof (II) Björnsson and Eric the Victorious, and he was the grand-father of Styrbjörn the Strong, according to the Hervarar saga and Harald Fairhair's saga. The latter saga relates that he ruled for 50 years. According to the two sagas, he was the son of an Erik who fought Harald Fairhair and who succeeded the brothers Björn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale. Eric Anundsson is the only Erik who fits.

In Olaf the Holy's saga, Snorri Sturluson quotes Thorgny Lawspeaker on king Björn: My father, again, was a long time with King Bjorn, and was well acquainted with his ways and manners. In Bjorn's lifetime his kingdom stood in great power, and no kind of want was felt, and he was gay and sociable with his friends.

When Björn died, Olof and Eric were elected to be co-rulers of Sweden. However, Eric would disinherit his nephew Styrbjörn.

Adam of Bremen, however, only gives Emund Eriksson as the predecessor of Eric the Victorious. Since the Swedes seem to have had a system of co-rulership (Diarchy), it is probable that Emund Eriksson was a co-ruler of Björn's.
