Ruler of Novgorod - COMYNI.GED (Compuserve); of Frisia & Jutland - "expelled
from Frisia after 855 (probably identical with Rurik of Novgorod [d. 879]; was
in Jutland; Norse ruler of Novgorod; Perhaps identical with Rorik of Frisia;
prince of the trading town of Novgorod - RURIK2.TXT (Compuserve)
RURIK, son of HALFDAN DE FRISIA and ?:  "THE ORIGIN OF THE GRAND PRINCES OF KIEV.  In a recent work, ROME ET LA RUSSIE AVANT L'INVASION DES TARTARS (IX-XIII SIECLES) (Paris, 1947), Michel de Taube presents reasons for doubting the account of Rorik in the Nestor Chronicle and shows that it was the Swedish chief, Ashold, who in the time of King Olaf de Birka occupied Kiev, becoming Grand Prince 855/6, and was probably slain in 882. His race was later displaced by the Swedish rulers of Novgorod c941.
He does not deduce them from Rurik, who was Prince of Novgorod and was slain about 879, and his son Igor, but from another Igor of the Swedish Royal house of the Ynglings, a kinsman of King Olaf of Sweden.  He gives this descent:" - RURIK2.TXT (Compuserve)
"Rurik was probably son of a Swedish chief at Novgorod by a Slav woman. He was leader of Varangians under King Eric of Upsala in 802 against Ladoga Novgorod, Prince of Novgorod.  Slain 879?  He married possibly Ejander, sister of an Olef of Helgi I, a norwegian jarl, Prince of Novgorod 879 (?), as tutor of Igor, son of Rurik (?), and died at Ladoga.  Igor I, son of Rurik (born 875-877), _was_ perhaps a Prince of Novgorod [Taube, pp.141-43]." - RURIK2.TXT (Compuserve)
Rurick (Hrorekr), Norse ruler of Novgorod. He relapsed to paganism and was expelled from Frisia after 855. Note: ES, II:128;
Turton, 26 starts this genealogy with Rurick; Moriarty, 51, starts with Ivar Vidfadmi; Moncreiffe, table 33, p. 103, starts with Rurick [not this one] by virtue of the statment that Rurick is "great-grandson of Rurick" - Royalty for Commoners, Roderick W. Stuart, p. 104
Royalty for Commoners, p. 104 says he was born c845 - NLP
