    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.
