Individual Note

----
{Template:Questionable }
Relationships between historical figures could have been si
mplified or even fabricated in the text to give the impression that succession remained within the same family….Precise chronology is also difficultto assess from the Sagas….The conclusion must be that the tight family network described in the Sagas is unlikely to be correct and that the relationships shown below should be treated with considerable caution.[http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/NORWEGIAN%20NOBILITY.htm fmg.ac]
