Biografi

Håkon Eiriksson Ladejarl, född omkring 998, son till jarl Eirik Håkonsson Ladejarl och Gyda Sveinsdatter (som var dotter till den danske kungen Svein Tjugeskjegg/Sven Tveskägg).

Han var en norsk jarl och regent under danskt styre 1012-1015 samt 1028-1029.

Från 1019 blir Håkon omtalt i engelske kilder som jarl i Mercia (Worcestershire) i England

Håkon var tilbake i England i 1029, sannsynligvis for å gifte seg med Knut den mektiges søsterdatter Gunnhild. Han druknet på vei tilbake til Norge og etterlot seg datteren Bodil Håkonsdatter. Med Håkons død i 1029 døde mannslinjen i ladejarlætta og håløygætta ut. Dermed ble hårfagreætten (ynglingeætten) enerådende som norsk fyrsteslekt.

Biography

Research Note

Highly unlikely that Hakon was married to Gunhilda (Knudsdottir) Salian who would have been only about ten years old when he died in about 1030 ^[1] Her parents only married in 1017 ^[2]Gunhilda (Knudsdottir) Salian has been removed as wife Wife was possibly Gunnhild of Wendland, daughter of Burislav. ^[3]

Håkons wife is referred to as Gunhild, "systerdotter" to Knut, meaning the daughter of Knuts sister.Andersson-4409 15:54, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Relationships between historical figures could have been simplified or even fabricated in the text to give the impression that succession remained within the same family….Precise chronology is also difficult to 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
