  === Life Sketch ===
  HAAKON Grjotgardson, son of --- (-killed in battle Fialar, Stavanger fjord 869). Jarl of Haalogaland [north Norway]. King Harald "Fairhair" conquered his lands around Trondheim. Jarl Haakon accepted King Harald's overlordship. He took up residence in the area of Lade in Trondheim. Snorre records the death in battle of "Earl Hakon Grjotgardson" in 869 at Fialar in Stavanger fjord, after a dispute with "Earl Atle Mjove" over the control of Firdafylke, which King Harald had granted to Haakon. It is unlikely that this date is correct, assuming that the dates of death of Haakon´s death are correctly recorded as shown below.
  m ---. The name of Haakon´s wife is not known.
  Haakon & his wife had four children:
  1. ASA Haakonsdatter. Snorre records the marriage of King Harald and "Asa, a daughter of Earl Hakon Grjotgardson".
  m as his first wife, HARALD I "Hårfagre/Harfagri/Fairhair" King of Norway, son of HALFDAN "Swarti/the Black" King of Vestfold & his 2nd wife Ragnhild Sigurdsdatter ([853/54] or 860-Hogaland 933, 934 or 940, bur "under a mound at Haugar in Karmtsund, near the church in Haugesund").
  
  2. SIGURD Jarl ( - murdered Oglo 962). Snorre names Sigurd as son of "Earl Hakon Grjotgardson" when recording that he succeeded as ruler of Trondheim after his father died, with his mansion at Hlader. He was a supporter of Haakon I King of Norway, he was confirmed as Jarl in Tröndheim. He was betrayed to King Harald by his brother Grjotgard and burned in his house with all his men.
  m BERGLJOT Thoresdotter, daughter of THORE Ragnvaldsson "Tause/the Silent" Jarl of Möre & his wife Alof Haraldsdatter "Aarbod/Season-bettering" of Norway. The Historia Norwegie names "Bergliota filia Thoris Tacentis", from "nobilissima Morensium ac Halogensium comitum prosapia", as the wife of "Siwardo". Snorre names "Bergljot, a daughter of Earl Thorer the Silent" & his wife as the wife of Sigurd. Sigurd & his wife had one child:
  a) HAAKON Sigurdsson "the Mighty" (Tröndheim mid-winter 955-murdered Trondheim 995). The Historia Norwegie names "Hacon" as son of "patre Siwardo, matre…Bergliota", recording that he appropriated the crown of Norway by his authority as jarl but did not take the title king.
  
  3. GRJOTGARD ( - killed in battle More 968). Snorre names "Grjotgard and Herlaug, the sons of Earl Hakon of Lade" as brothers-in-law of King Harald when recording their death in battle. According to Snorre, he was "much younger and much less respected than his brother", whom he betrayed to King Harald. Appointed to defend More by King Harald, he was killed fighting his nephew Haakon.
  4. HERLAUG ( - killed in battle More 968). Snorre names "Grjotgard and Herlaug, the sons of Earl Hakon of Lade" as brothers-in-law of King Harald when recording their death in battle.
