Research suggests that this person may never have existed. See the text for details.

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

Biography

Tore Jarl the Silent, son of Ragnvald Jarl, was placed in charge of Møre by king Harald Fairhair. Harald's daughter Ålov was wedded to him.[1]

Tore Jarl is not mentioned during the reign of Håkon Adelstensfostre, and probably died before Håkon became king in 935.

He gained the title of Jarl of More.1 Child of Thori 'the Silent' Ragnvaldsson, Jarl of More and Alof Aarbod (?)

Rognvaldsson-78 and Rognvaldsson-61 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicates. Death date on Torir's profile is incorrect. Maer is a birth location that is extremely frequently found on online profiles for early medieval/Viking era people.
