Emma de Bretagne included here as wife of Rognvald Brusesson and mother of his children, Tora Ragnvaldsdatter, Adelme d@Orcades (Orkney), Robert Brus, Philina Brus, and Hortolina Brus. However the sources for Rognvald suggest that he confined his activities to Orkney, Norway and Kiev. The sources (Ynglingasaga and Orkneyingasaga) that tell his story do not name a wife, and only one child, Eiliv who is not included here among the children of Emma. It is highly unlikely that Rognvald had any relationship with Emma. However one of her children, Amicia, has a father, Robert de Brus. As a temporary measure, in collaboration with the PM, Emma is being disconnected from Ragnvald and married to Amicia's father, Robert de Brus, taking her Bruce children with her. C 1 September 2018

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
