Eystein Glumra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eystein Glumra ("Eystein the Noisy" or "Eystein the Clatterer"; Modern Norwegian Øystein Glumra) also known as Eystein Ivarsson, was reputedly a petty king on the west coast of Norway, during the 9th century.
The Heimskringla saga states that Eystein Glumra was the father of Rognvald Eysteinsson and Sigurd Eysteinsson: "The first earl of the Orkney Islands was ... Sigurd ... a son of Eystein Glumra, and brother of Ragnvald Earl of More. After Sigurd, his son Guthorm was earl for one year. After him Torf-Einar, a son of Ragnvald ... was long earl, and was a man of great power".
According to the Orkneyinga Saga, Eystein Glumra was the son of Ivar Halfdansson and grandson of Halfdan the Old. The Orkneyinga Saga also named Eystein Glumra as the father of Rognvald Eysteinsson:[6] "Heiti, Gorr’s son, was father of Sveiði the sea-king, [who was] the father of Halfdan the old, [who was] the father of Ivar the Uplanders’ earl, [who was] the father of Eystein the noisy, [who was] the father of earl Rognvald the mighty and wise in council".
Two novels by Linnea Hartsuyker, The Half-Drowned King (2017) and The Sea Queen (2018), cover the lives of Eystein's children.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bjørn Farmann was a son of Harald Fairhair, first king of Norway. As Harald died, his kingdom was divided again between his sons, and Bjørn resided mostly at Tønsberg in the county of Vestfold. Today, he is considered the founder of that city,
and the central downtown street is named after him. Bjørn lost his life in a feud with his brother Eirik, and is buried in a mound outside Tønsberg, in Sem, close to the manor of the Jarlsberg family. Thrpugh his son Gudrød, he is the
great-grandfather of Olaf II of Norway. Snorri Sturluson tells this of Bjørn, in an exstract from Heimskringla, Harald Harfager's Saga: King Harald's son, Bjorn, who went by the name Bjorn Farmann ruled over Vestfold at that time, and generally
lived at Tunsberg, and went but little on war expeditions. Tunsberg at that time was much frequented by merchant vessels, both from Viken and the north country, and also from the south, from Denmark, and Saxland. King Bjorn had also merchant
ships on voyages to other lands, by which he procured for himself costly articles, and such things as he thought needful; and therefore his brothers called him Farman (the Seaman), and Kaupman (the Chapman). Bjorn was a man of sense and
understanding, and promised to become a good ruler. He made a good and suitable marriage, and had a son by his wife, who was named Gudrod. Eirik Blood-axe came from his Baltic cruise with ships of war, and a great force, and required his
brother Bjorn to deliver to him King Harald's share of the scat and incomes of Vestfold. But it had always been the custom before, that Bjorn himself either delivered the money into the king's hands, or sent men of his own with it; and
therefore he would continue with the old custom, and would not deliver the money. Eirik again wanted provisions, tents, and liquor. The brothers quarrelled about this; but Eirik got nothing and left the town. Bjorn went also out of the town
towards evening up to Saeheim. In the night Eirik came back after Bjorn, and came to Saeheim just as Bjorn and his men were seated at table drinking. Eirik surrounded the house in which they were; but Bjorn with his men went out and fought.
Bjorn, and many men with him, fell. Eirik, on the other hand, got a great booty, and proceeded northwards. But this work was taken very ill by the people of Viken, and Eirik was much disliked for it; and the report went that King Olaf would
avenge his brother Bjorn, whenever opportunity offered. King Bjorn lies in the mound of Farmanshaug at Saeheim.

Under-king in Vesfold, owned merchant ships. [Anceatral Roots]
DEATH: Murdered by his brother Eric "Bloodaxe"
MISC: He ruled over Westfold, and usually resided in Tnsberg where many merchant ships came and went. He had merchantmen who sailed to other lands and brought things back for him. The medieval historian, Snorri Sturluson describes him as a
shrewd man with a calm disposition who engaged in little warfare. He is said to have had a good marriage.
Bjrn's half-brother, Eric ("Bloodaxe"), while on the road and in need of provisions, came to Bjrn, demanding to be given the taxes due their father, saying he would deliver the taxes to their father for Bjrn who usually took care of that
himself. Bjrn refused to give him the revenue. The two fought, and Bjrn was killed. The name of his wife is unknown.

Wiki: Eystein Glumra (the Clatterer), also called Eystein Ivarsson (born ca. 830 in NordTrøndelag, Norway) was Jarl (Earl) of Oppland and Hedmark in Norway.
The Heimskringla Saga states that Eystein Glumra was the father of Rognvald Eysteinsson and Sigurd Eysteinsson. And, that he was grandfather of Guthorm Sigurdsson and Torf-Einarr. Although the Saga does mention a few Ivars, none are said to be Eystein's father. The first earl in the Orkney Islands was called Sigurd, who was a son of Eystein Glumra, and brother of Ragnvald earl of More. After Sigurd, his son Guthorm was earl for one year. After him TorfEinar, a son of Ragnvald, took the earldom, and was long earl, and was a man of great power. According to the Orkneyinga Saga, Eystein the noisy was the son of Ivar the Uplanders’ earl, and grandson of Halfdan the Old. He was also father of Rognvald The Wise. Heiti, Gorr’s son, was father of Sveiði the sea-king, the father of Halfdan the old, the father of Ivar the Uplanders’ earl, the father of Eystein the noisy, the father of earl Rognvald the mighty and the wise in council. Orkneyinga Saga makes his grandson Hrolf identical to Rollo, conqueror of Normandy, and hence ancestor of William the Conqueror and the resulting Royal Families of England, although the connection is viewed skeptically by scholars
