2. | Sigurd BIOMSSON, Danish Earl of Northumbria was born about 990 (son of Beorn Ulfsson OF DANISH MERCIA); died in 1040 in York, Yorkshire, England. Notes:
Siward led Malcolm's army as it advanced on Scotland by land and by sea. Siward was a Northumberland-Danish warlord. The English met little resistance from the Scots in the lowlands and were confronted by Macbeth just outside Scone, the Scottish capital. The "Annals of Ulstar" maintain that 3,000 Scots were killed and 1,500 English and Danes slain. Still, it was far from a vistory and Siward had to withdraw his troops from Scotland, Malcom having to be content with lordship over Cumbria. the next year, Siward died and in 1057 Malcom alone had to lead the battle against Macbeth.
Sigurd married Aefflaed OF BERNICIA. Aefflaed (daughter of Ealdred OF BERNICIA) was born about 997 in Bernicia, Northumbria, England; and died. [Group Sheet]

72. | Gorm 'the Old' of Jutland KING OF DENMARK was born about 840 (son of Horda-Knut Sigurdsson KING OF DENMARK); died in 936; was buried in Jellinge, Denmark. Notes:
Gorm lived at Jelling and was a traditional Viking who had a wooden burial chamber built in a huge mound at Jelling. It was a double grave, doubtless for him and his wife. Connected with this mound, the Danish archaeologist Dyggve has traced a large triangular plot of ground framed by upright stones marking a consecrated place. It can be assumed that Gorm died sometime in the 940's.
Gorm, "the Old", was King of Denmark from 883-941, King of East Anglia in England, 905-918, King of Seeland by conquest and by marriage of Jutland c 880. He was nicknamed "the Old" because of the length of his reign. He was a pirate in his youth and did not share his father-in-law's acceptance of Chrisitianity. He united all provinces of what is now Denmark into one state.
