Biografi

Gyrid Olavsdotter (Gyritha/Gunhild) sägs ha varit dotter till Olof Björnsson (som var bror till Erik Segersäll). Hon var då också syster till Styrbjörn Starke. En version av de olika historier som finns är att de båda skall ha flytt "Sverige" då Styrbjörn med ovän med Erik Segersäll. De ingick förbund med Harald Blåtand genom att Styrbjörn gifte sig med hans dotter Thyra och Gyrid gifte sig med självaste Harald Blåtand.

Biography

In the sagas Gyrid was the daughter of King Olof Björnsson of Sweden and Queen Ingeborg Thrandsdotter.

Gunhild is mentioned as a wife of Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson by Adam of Bremen as a wife of Harald.

Gyrid/Gyritha/Gunhild

"of Sweden", sister of Styrbjörn "den Starke/the Strong", a king in Sweden and was married to Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson. This marriage seems only be referred to by Saxo Grammaticus], who says that Styrbjörn had sought help from King Harald after being deposed as king in Sweden by his cousin and granted Harald his sister in marriage.^[1]

It is not known whether she was the mother to any of the children of Harald Blåtand. Some legends/stories/sagas mention they married within a couple of years before Harald's death.
