Burke calls him Great Duke of Russia. Snorri Sturlasson call him Prince of Holmgarth and shows his children as Holti-Nimble, Vissivald, Ellisif.

Donald Lines Jacobus (1883-1970), the "Founder of Scientific Genealogy in America" wrote an article in The American Genealogist (TAG) 9:13-15 entitled "The House of Rurik." I quote: "To correct the many errors that have appeared in print, and to aid those who follow the pastime
of tracing "royal ancestry," the following condensed account of the early Rurikides is here printed. It is based in large part on "Genealogies et Mariages Occidentaux des Rurikides Russes du Xe au XIIIe Siecle," published
at Rome in 1927 as Vol. IX, No. 1, of *Orientalia Christiana.* The author, N. de Baumgarten, is probably the best living authority on early Russian history, and every statement made on the fourteen genealogical tables of his monograph is fully supported by the citation of contemporary documents and chronicles."

I am not attacking Jacobus, who is a giant among genealogists and certainly needs no defenders. Neither am I disagreeing with Alexander Agamov, in Moscow, who has pointed out that there is no credible evidence that Rurik was ever "Prince of Kiev" and progenitor of the line beginning
with Igor, Grand Prince of Kiev, who married Olga. I hope Alexander Agamov is reading this. Some historians and genealogists, Russians in particular, have taken sharp issue with the theory that the Kievan Rus was founded by a "Dane" rather than a "Slav"----and the evidence for "The Varangian Theory" seems fragmentary and inconclusive, at best.

G. Andrews Moriarty and Walter L. Sheppard in TAG 28:91-95 also quote the N. de Baumgarten material as authoritative [specifically "Orientalia Christiana, No. 119, N. de Baumgarten, "Aux Origines de la Russie," p. 79. Both Jacobus and Moriarty/Sheppard headline their charts
with "Rurik (d. 879) Grand Prince of Kiev." Jacobus probably did not read 10th to 13th century Russian. But--- some of us may.

For anyone who might conceivably have access to the original, 1927, N. de Baumgarten source---is it provable that, "every statement made on the fourteen genealogical tables of his monograph is fully supported by the citation of contemporary documents and chronicles?"

Or, is it possible that Jacobus and the other experts simply
trusted in N. de Baumgarten's scholarship and professionalism---and did not really check out the facts themselves. The Editor of a journal, such as TAG, certainly cannot check out every fact and document himself. But, in
this particular case, Jacobus gives the N. de Baumgarten material his personal imprimatur, as cited above [TAG 9:13, Paragraph 2]

So----has N. de Baumgarten in his "Orientalia Christiana"---dealing with "The House of Rurik"---been totally discredited by subsequent rigorous scholarship---or does his judgment still seem credible to some serious scholars----or are there alternate explanations?

This is an intriguing question of interest to many folks who are descended from Anne of Kiev (c. 1024-c.1066) [Anna Yaroslavna] who married Henry I, King of France.

1001 - 1049 Ingigerd Olafsdottir 48 48 0960 - 1015 Vladimir Rurik of Kiev 55 55 Vladimir, Saint (circa 956-1015), grand prince of Kyiv, whose baptism made Orthodox Christianity the official religion of Russia. Born in Kyiv, Vladimir was a pagan at the beginning of his reign, which was at first devoted to consolidating his territories into a unified Russian state. In exchange for helping the Byzantine emperor Basil II suppress a rebellion, Vladimir was allowed to marry the emperor's sister, Anne, at which time (988) he accepted Christianity. Allied to Byzantium by religious and family ties, Vladimir introduced Byzantine civilization into Russia by building churches, suppressing paganism, and making social reforms. Nonetheless, he remained open to Western influences, which are reflected in his legislation.

Vladimir (in Ukrainian, Volodymyr) I, Prince of Kiev, in German Valdimar, in Russian known as Saint Vladimir or as Vladimis the Great, (c.958-1015), was the illegitimate son of Sviatoslav I and the grandson of Olga of Kiev. Varangian ruler of Kiev from 980, he converted to Christianity in 988, reversing Sviatoslav's adherence to the pagan tradition (which was probably a mix of Norse and Slavic elements).

Transferring his capital to Pereyaslavets in 969, Sviatoslav designated Vladimir ruler of Novgorod but gave Kiev to his legitimate son Yaropolk. After Sviatoslav's death (972), civil war erupted (976) between Yaropolk and his younger brother Oleg, ruler of Dereva. As he belonged to the Norse elite, Vladimir fled (977) to Scandinavia, and Novgorod fell to Yaropolk.

Returning in 978 with a large force of Varangian (Viking) warriors, Vladimir recaptured Novgorod the following year. He slew prince Ragnvald of Polotsk and married his daughter Ragnilda, who was engaged to Yaropolk. Yaropolk fled as Vladimir besieged Kiev, but was killed (980) after surrendering to Vladimir, who now ruled all his father's domains.

Though Christianity had won many converts since Olga's rule, Vladimir had remained pagan, taking several wives and erecting pagan statues and shrines to gods, such as Thor and Odin. He continued his efforts to extend his territories, fighting in Galicia in 981, against the Yatvingians on the Baltic coast in 983, against the Bulgars in 985 and against the Byzantine Empire successfully in the Crimea in 987.

In 988 he negotiated for the hand of the Byzantine emperor Basil II's sister, Anna. At Basil's insistence, Vladimir was baptized at Kherson, married Anna and gave up his other wives. Handing over Kherson to the Greeks, he destroyed pagan monuments and established many churches.

Yaroslav, Vladimir's son by an earlier marriage, rebelled against him and refused to render him service or tribute for Novgorod. Vladimir prepared to take Novgorod by force, but died before the attack could begin.

Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the feast day of the canonised Vladimir on 15 July.

0962 - 1002 Rogneda Of Polotsk 40 40 1050 - 1106 Henry Staufen of Germany 55 55 Henry IV, (November 11, 1050 - 1106) was German king from 1056, and Emperor from 1084, both until his deposition in 1105. He was the third emperor of the Salian dynasty.

Henry was the eldest son of the Emperor Henry III, by his second wife Agnes de Poitou, and was probably born at the royal palace at Goslar. His christening was delayed until the following Easter so that Abbot Hugh of Cluny could be one of his godparents. But even before that, at his Christmas court Henry III induced the attending nobles to promise to be faithful to his son. Three years later, still anxious to insure the succession, Henry III had a larger assembly of nobles elect the young Henry as his successor, and then, on July 17, 1054, had him crowned as king by Archbishop Herman of Cologne. Thus when Henry III unexpectedly died in 1056, the accession of the 6-year-old Henry IV was not opposed. The dowager Empress Agnes acted as regent. Henry's reign was marked by efforts to consolidate Imperial power. In reality, however, it was a careful balancing act between maintaining the loyalty of the nobility and the support of the pope. Henry jeopardized both when, in 1075, his insistence on the right of a secular ruler to invest, i.e., to place in office, members of the clergy, especially bishops, began the conflict known as the Investiture Controversy. Pope Gregory VII excommunicated Henry on February 22, 1076. Gregory, on his way to a diet at Augsburg, and hearing that Henry was approaching, took refuge in the castle of Canossa (near Parma) belonging to Matilda, Countess of Tuscany. Henry's intent, however, was to perform the penance required to lift his excommunication, and ensure his continued rule. He stood for three days, 25 January - 27 January 1077, outside the gate at Canossa, begging the pope to rescind the sentence (though not, as is often stated, in bare shirt with no food or shelter). The Pope lifted the excommunication, imposing a vow to comply with certain conditions, which Henry soon violated.

Henry's first marriage, to Bertha, countess of Maurine, produced two sons, of whom Conrad died after claiming the imperial crown, and Henry forced his father's abdication in 1105, replacing him as Henry V. A daughter, Agnes of Franconia, married the later Hohenstaufen emperor Frederick I Barbarossa. Henry's second marriage (1089-93) was to Eupraxia of Kiev, the daughter of Vsevolod I, Prince of Kiev.

0920 - 0969 Olga of Kiev 49 49 0815 - 0879 Rurik of Novgorod 64 64 [Pullen010502.FTW]

Really nowadays there are two important questions needed to be solved: the first is about identification of Rurik, the second is whether he was true founder of the Rurikovichi House. For a long time the problem of Ruruk's origin was rather political than simply historical one. Have You heard anything about "Norman theory"? It's discussion that has lasted for almost 250 years in Russia. The heart of the problem is if Rurik was the founder of state organization in ancient Russia (Kiev Russia) or aborigines had built it before. I am not going to dwell on this question; I mentioned it only to say that an ideological aspect put off the decision of Rurik problem for many years. First of all about Rurik origin. Histotians base on the text of the most early chronicle reached us: "The Nestor's Letopis". It was created in the middle of XII c. by monk of Kievo-Pechorski abbey. According to this document inhabitans of Novgorod, a city of Northen Russia, invited Rurik to rule in this city to defend against other Norman sea-robbers. It was happened in 862. The chronicle informs that Rurik took Ladoga, a very small town near Novgorod. After death of his two brothers, Sineus and Thruvor in 864, he got their possessions, Beloozero ("White lake") and Izborsk. Novgorod became Rurik's capital. There he died in 862. The chronicle says he gave the government to his relative Oleg as his son Igor was child. Sach way, in
accordance with Nestor chronical the beginning of Rurikovichi shows as:





1 Ruri=EA I Pr.of Novgorod (not Kiev !!!) d. 879
Pr. of Belozerskiy and of Izborsk (864)

2 Igor I Rurikivich Pr. of Kiev d. 945
3 Svjatoslav I Igorevich Pr. of Kiev b. Jul 942 d. 972 m. Predslav=
a
of Ungarn(?)
4 Jaropolk I Svjatoslavich Pr. of Kiev b. 961 d. 980 m. ?
4 Oleg Svjatoslavich Pr.of Drevljanskiy b. 962 d. 977
4 Wladimir I Svjatoslavich Gr.Pr.of Kiev d. 15 Jul 1015

In XVIII century Russian historian Tatishev in his "History of Russian State" named Rurik's wife, Efanda (sometimes Ingrid) of Urman. He informed also some interesting details about first Russian princes but unfortunately the documents which he used didn't reached us: they were lost while Napoleon's invasion in 1812. The chronicle says that Rurik came with their brothers, Sineus and Thruvor. Now it's proves that their names are wrong-translated into Russian (by Nestor or any of his predecessors) Scandinavian words "sine hus' (with his hause) and "tru voring"(with loyal guard) [sorry for my possible mistakes in spelling]. So Rurik was alone, without any brothers.

In 1920s it was expressed an opinion that Rurik of Kiev is the same Rorik of Denmark (or of Friesland). That person was one of the three sons of Halvdan, koning of Jutland. Halvdan had to leave his country ab. 782 and then he received Frisie enfeoff from Charlemagne. Rorik had part in christining of his brother Harald in Ingelheim upon Rhein, near Mainz (826). Harald came with his family and maybe his family, and Rorik too, were baptized. Halvdan had three sons: Harald, Rorik and Hemming and this fact conforms to story about two brothers of Rurik of Kiev. The time of action coincides (first half-middle of IX c.). There are also other coincidences. At that time, in accordance with Snorry Sturluson "Royal sagas" (begin.of XIII c.), we have in Norway konung Halvdan and his wife Ragnhilde, who had son Harald Finehairs. Snorry says that before Harald was born his mother had a dream: she saw luxuriant tree (speaking about future strong dynasty). The same legend said us Tatishev based on the losed documents. Tatishev tells about a certain Russian Prince Gostomysl, whose daughter Urmila was mother of Rurik of Kiev. She also had the such dream. Probably the Russian chronicle based on any Scandinavian one, more earlier. Russian phililogist Sreznevskiy, an outstanding expert of Slav languages in XIX c., considered that "Gostomysl" is neither Russian nor Eastslav name, it was widespread where WestBaltic Slavs lived. We even know a certain Gostomysl who was mentioned in "Fuld annales" in 844. The same time again! Last time Rorik of Jutland was mentioned in 882 as dead and Russian chronicle says that he died in 879. Quite really ! The difference is that Western annales inform he died in Frisie, his fief received from Charles the Bald, and Russian one in Novgorod. But we have real reasons to think that Rurik of Kiev and Rorik of Jutland are the same. But answering another question, if Rurik was the founder of the first Russian dynasty, we have to say no. The story about Rurik gave his power to Oleg is fantasy. Oleg and Igor (that time a child) didn't even try to stay in Novgorod, their native city, and at once moved to Kiev through Smolensk. It was unlogical step, because Kiev and Novgorod were bitterest enemis. The most documents of XII-XV c. didn't know Rurik, they originate Rurikovichi from Igor of Kiev. Name Rurik wasn't widespread in princely house, only at the close of XI c. we can see the first prince Rurik by name. Thank You for attention,

Rurik, Riurik or Rörek was a Varangian (Viking) who gained control of Novgorod in 862. Nationality of Rurik is disputed: he is often considered Swede, but there are many good reasons to suppose the Rurik and Danish Rörek of Jutland is the same person; due to close ties between Varangians and Slavs, there are also theories that he was ethnically Slav and Scandinavian. There is debate over how Rurik came to control Novgorod. The later chronicles state that he was invited in by the local tribes who wanted order, but many scholars consider this unlikely. He probably invited himself. Rurik remained in power until his death in 879. His successors (the Rurik Dynasty), however, moved the capital to Kiev and founded the state of Kievan Rus, which persisted until 1240. The ruling dynasty of this state is named Riurikovich, after Rurik.

1068 Anna Yanka Vsevolodovna 0980 - 1055 Constantine of Constantinople 75 75 From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Constantine IX Monomachus:"

"Byzantine emperor from 1042 to 1055. Constantine owed his elevation to Zoe, the empress of the Macedonian dynasty, who took him as her third husband. Constantine belonged to the civil party, the opponents of the military magnates, and he neglected the defenses of the empire and reduced the army. He spent extravagant sums on luxuries and magnificent buildings and seriously debased the coinage. Rebellions broke out at home and abroad; the Normans were overrunning the Byzantine possessions in south Italy; the Pechenegs (Patzinaks) crossed the Danube River and attacked Thrace and Macedonia; and the Seljuq Turks made their appearance on the Armenian frontier, which was directly exposed to attack, as the Armenian kingdom of Ani lapsed to Constantinople during this reign.

"Constantine attempted to ally with the papacy against the Normans, but relations between the churches of Rome and Constantinople deteriorated. In 1054 the visit of the papal legates resulted in schism. Though he was not outstanding for his statesmanship, it was under his auspices that the University of Constantinople was reorganized, with an efflorescence of learning and letters. "

Constantine IX Monomachos (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Θ΄ Μονομάχος, Kōnstantinos IX Monomakhos), c. 1000–January 11, 1055, reigned as Byzantine emperor from June 11, 1042 to January 11, 1055. He had been chosen by Zoe as a husband and co-emperor in 1042, although he had been exiled for conspiring against her previous husband, Emperor Michael IV the Paphlagonian. They ruled together until Zoe died in 1050.

Constantine Monomachos was the son of Theodosios Monomachos, an important bureaucrat under Basil II  and Constantine VIII. At some point Theodosios had been suspected of conspiracy and his son's career suffered accordingly. Constantine's position improved after he married, as his second wife, a niece of Emperor Romanos III Argyros. Catching the eye of the Empress Zoe, Constantine was exiled to the island of Lesbos by her second husband, Michael IV. He was retrieved from exile in 1042, when he was appointed judge in Greece, but before he undertook his appointment, Constantine was summoned to Constantinople as Zoe's choice for husband. The pair were married on June 11, 1042, without the participation of Patriarch  Alexius I of Constantinople, who refused to officiate over a third marriage (for both spouses). On the following day Constantine was formally proclaimed emperor together with Zoe and her sister Theodora.

Constantine purged the relatives of Michael IV from the court. The new emperor was pleasure-loving and prone to violent outbursts on suspicion of conspiracy. He was heavily influenced by his mistress, Maria Skleraina, a niece of his second wife, and Maria's relatives. In August 1042, under the influence of the Skleroi, the emperor relieved General George Maniakes from his command in Italy, and Maniakes rebelled, declaring himself emperor in September. He transferred his troops into the Balkans and was about to defeat Constantine's army in battle, when he was wounded and died on the field, ending the crisis in 1043.

Immediately after the victory, Constantine was attacked by a fleet from Kievan Rus'; it is "incontrovertible that a Rus' detachment took part in the Maniakes rebellion".[1] They too were defeated, with the help of Greek fire. Constantine married his daughter Anna (see below) to the future Prince Vsevolod I of Kiev, the favorite son of his dangerous opponent Yaroslav I the Wise by Ingegerd Olofsdotter.

In 1045 Constantine annexed the Armenian kingdom of Ani, but this expansion merely exposed the empire to new enemies. In 1046 the Byzantines came into contact for the first time with the Seljuk Turks. They met in battle in Armenia in 1048, and settled a truce the following year. However, Constantine foolishly disbanded the Armenian troops to save money in 1053, leaving the eastern frontier poorly defended at precisely the moment when its defences should have been strengthened. Even if Seljuk rulers were willing to abide by the treaty, their unruly Turcoman allies showed much less restraint. Thus Constantine weakened the Byzantine forces, which in turn led to their cataclysmic defeat at the battle of Manzikert in 1071.

In 1047 Constantine was faced by the rebellion of his nephew Leo Tornikios in Adrianople. Tornikios gained support in most of Thrace and vainly attempted to take Constantinople. Forced to retreat, Tornikios failed in another siege, and was captured during his flight. The revolt had weakened Byzantine defenses in the Balkans and in 1048 the area was raided by the Pechenegs, who continued to plunder it for the next five years. The emperor's efforts to contain the enemy through diplomacy merely exacerbated the situation, as rival Pecheneg leaders clashed on Byzantine ground, and Pecheneg settlers were allowed to live in compact settlement in the Balkans, making it difficult to suppress their rebellion. Faced with such difficulties, Constantine may have sought Hungarian support.

Internally, Constantine sought to secure his position by favoring the nobility (dynatoi) and granted generous tax immunities to major landowners and the church. Similarly, he seems to have taken recourse to the pronoia system, a sort of Byzantine feudal contract in which tracts of land (or the tax revenue from it) were granted to particular individuals in exchange for contributing and maintaining military forces. Both expedients gradually compromised the effectiveness of the state and contributed to the development of the crisis that engulfed Byzantium in the second half of the 11th century.

In 1054 the centuries-old differences between the Greek and Roman churches led to their final separation. Legates from Pope Leo IX excommunicated the Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Keroularios when Keroularios would not agree to adopt western church practises, and in return Keroularios excommunicated the legates. This sabotaged Constantine's attempts to ally with the Pope against the Normans, who had taken advantage of Maniakes' disappearance to take over Southern Italy.

Constantine tried to intervene, but he fell ill and died on January 11 of the following year. Theodora, the elderly daughter of Constantine VIII who had ruled with her sister Zoe since 1042, was recalled from her retirement and named empress.

Overall, his reign was a disaster for the Byzantine empire; in particular, the military weakness for which he was largely responsible greatly contributed to the subsequent loss of Asia Minor to the Turks, and the ultimate fall of Constantinople to the Muslim Ottomans in 1453.

Constantine IX was also a patron of the arts and literature, and during his reign the university in Constantinople expanded its juridical and philosophical programs. The literary circle at court included the philosopher and historian Michael Psellos, whose Chronographia  records the history of Constantine's reign. Psellos left a physical description of Constantine in his Chronographia: he was "ruddy as the sun, but all his breast, and down to his feet... [were] colored the purest white all over, with exquisite accuracy. When he was in his prime, before his limbs lost their virility, anyone who cared to look at him closely would surely have likened his head to the sun in its glory, so radiant was it, and his hair to the rays of the sun, while in the rest of his body he would have seen the purest and most translucent crystal."

Immediately upon ascending to the throne in 1042, Constantine IX set about restoring the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, which had been substantially destroyed in 1009 by Calif al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah. Permitted by a treaty with al-Hakim's son Ali az-Zahir and Byzantine Emperor Romanus III, it was Constantine IX who finally funded the reconstruction of the Church and other Christian establishments in the Holy Land. [2] The reconstruction took place during the reign of the Caliph Ma'ad al-Mustansir Billah.

Constantine Monomachos was married three times:

   1. to a wife of unknown identity.
   2. to Helena Skleraina, daughter of Basil Skleros, great-granddaughter of Bardas Skleros, and niece of Emperor Romanus III.
   3. to the Empress Zoe

After the death of his second wife, Constantine also took her first cousin Maria Skleraina as his mistress.

He had no children with his first wife or with the aging Zoe. With either Helena or Maria Sklerina he had a daughter named Anastasia, who married Vsevolod I of Kiev in 1046. Constantine's family name Monomachos ("one who fights alone") was inherited by his Kievan grandson, Vladimir II Monomakh.

 D. 1033 Helena Skleraina 0990 - 1053 Godwin of Wessex & Kent 63 63 [Pullen010502.FTW]

An Anglo-Danish noble, he rose to power under Canute, after whose death he supported the accession of Edward the Confessor & became a dominant figure in royal gov't. In 1045 his daughter married Edward. He was overthrown in 1051 but regained his position by force in 1052. He was succeeded by his son Harold, who also succeeded Edward, thus leading to the Norman conquest.

The key article on the proposed descent of Harold II from Aethelred I is David H. Kelley, "The House of Aethelred," in Lindsay S. Brooke, ed., Studies in Genealogy and Family History in Tribute to Charles Evans on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday_ (Association for the Promotion of Scholarship in Genealogy, Ltd., Occasional Publication No. Two, 1989). As I posted earlier, the descent of land provides strong evidence for the descent of Harold II's father, Earl Godwine, from Aethelred I (not II), but it is also possible that the land was expropriated and presented to Godwine and his possession of it does not indicate genealogical descent.



Godwin (sometimes Godwine) (c.1001-April 15, 1053), was one of the most powerful lords in England under the Danish king Canute the Great and his successors. Canute made him the first Earl of Wessex. Godwin was the father of Edith of Wessex, wife of Edward the Confessor and Harold II.

Biography
Godwin was a seventh generation descendant of King Ethelred of Wessex (c. 837 - 871, reigned 865 - 871). Ethelred was succeeded by his younger brother Alfred the Great because his own son Aethelhelm of Wessex (c. 870 - 927) was still a minor at the time of his death.

Aethelhelm was later granted lands by his uncle but was never able to claim the throne. His daughter Elfleda of Wessex (c. 890 - 918) however became Queen consort to King Edward the Elder (c. 871 - 924, reigned 899 - 924).

Her brother Aethelfrith of Wessex (c. 900 - 927) lived the life of a common landlord. His son Eadric of Wessex was granted possession of Washington in the South Downs of West Sussex. His own son Aethelwerd of Wessex (c. 930 - 998) is known as "the Historian". Aethelmar Cild (c. 960 - 1015) , son of the later, was a benefactor of Eynsham Abbey. His son was Wulfnoth Cild (c. 983 - 1015) who was Thegn of Sussex but is otherwise obscure. Godwin was son to Wulfnoth.

Around 1014, Godwin was first married to Thyra Sveinsdottir, daughter of Sweyn I , King of Denmark, Norway and England. Thyra however died in 1018. Her death apparently did not prevent her brother Canute the Great from creating Godwin Earl of Wessex during the same year.

In 1019, Godwin was married again to Gytha Thorkelsd ttir, granddaughter of the legendary Viking Styrbj rn Starke and great-granddaughter to Harold Bluetooth who was King of Denmark and Norway, father to Sweyn I and grandfather to Canute. The marriage resulted in the birth of at least twelve children:
Driella of Wessex (c. 1019)
Edith of Wessex, (c. 1020 - December 19, 1075), Queen consort of Edward the Confessor.
Sweyn Godwinson, Earl of Mercia (c. 1021 - 1052). At some point he declared himself an illegitimate son of Canute the Great but this is considered to be a false claim.
Harold II of England (c. 1022 - October 14, 1066).
Gungilda of Wessex, a nun (c. 1024 - 1080).
Ylgiva of Wessex (c. 1025).
Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumbria (c. 1026 - September 25, 1066).
Ydgiva of Wessex (c. 1028).
Gyrth Godwinson (c. 1032 - October 14, 1066).
Leofwine Godwinson , Earl of Kent (c. 1035 - October 14, 1066).
Wulfnoth Godwinson (c. 1036 - 1087).
Ylfgar of Wessex (c. 1038).

On November 12, 1035, Canute the Great died. His kingdoms were divided among three rival rulers. Harold Harefoot, illegitimate son by Aelgifu of Northampton, usurped the throne of England.Harthacanute, legitimate son by Emma of Normandy, reigned in Denmark. Norway rebelled under Magnus the Noble. On 1037, the throne of England was reportedly claimed by Alfred of Wessex, son of Emma of Normandy and Ethelred the Unready and half-brother of Harthacanute. Godwin is reported to have either captured Alfred himself or to have deceived him by pretending to be his ally and then surrendering him to the forces of Harold Harefoot. Either way Alfred was blinded and soon died.

On March 17, 1040, Harold Harefoot died and Godwin supported the accession of Harthacanute to the throne of England. When Harthacanute himself died on June 8, 1042 , Godwin supported the claim of his half half-brother Edward the Confessor to the throne. Edward was another son of Emma of Normandy and Ethelred the Unready, having spent most of the previous thirty years in Normandy. His reign restored the native royal house of Wessex to the Throne of England. Despite his alleged responsibility for the death of Edward's brother Alfred, Godwin secured the marriage of his daughter Edith (Eadgyth) to Edward in 1045. Godwin soon became the leader of opposition to growing Norman influence as Edward drew advisors, nobles and priests from his former place of refuge.

Exiled from the kingdom in September, 1051 for refusing to punish the people of Dover for a violent clash with the visiting Eustace II, Count of Boulogne, Godwin returned the following year with an armed force, compelling Edward to restore his earldom.

On April 15, 1053, Godwin died. His son Harold succeeded him as Earl of Wessex, an area then covering roughly the southernmost third of England. Harold later succeeded Edward the Confessor and became King of England in his own right.

1024 Gunhilda of Wessex 1027 - 1066 Tostig Godwinsson 39 39 Tostig Godwinson (~1026- September 25, 1066), Earl of Northumbria, was son to Godwin, Earl of Wessex and his second wife Gytha Thorkelsd ttir. He was also one of the brothers of Harold II of England, the last Anglo-Saxon King of England.

Tostig married Judith (Fausta) of Flanders (1030- March 5, 1094), daughter of Count Baldwin IV of Flanders and half-sister of Baldwin V of Flanders. She was thus, the paternal aunt of Matilda of Flanders who was the wife of William the Conqueror.

Tostig had joined forces with Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, and they invaded England. His brother Harold II managed to defeat and kill both Harald III and Tostig at the Battle of Stamford Bridge on September 25, 1066. However their defeat was followed by a second invasion by his nephew William II the Bastard, Duke of Normandy on September 28, 1066. Harold II was himself defeated and killed by William the Bastard at the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066. William the Bastard, thus became King William I the Conqueror of England.

Popular (as opposed to scholarly) non-fiction books that cover Tostig's life and role in history include:
1066 The Year of the Conquest ( 1977) by David Howarth (ISBN 0-88029-014-5)

Aethelflaed of Wessex 1001 Gytha Sprakaleg 0633 Aud Deiphrandza Ivarsdatter Auðr the Deep-Minded (Old Norse: Auðr in djúpúðga) was a Scandinavian princess, the daughter of Ivar Vidfamne, and the mother of Harald Wartooth, who appears in Sögubrot, Hversu Noregr byggdist and in the Lay of Hyndla. She would have lived sometime during the 7th and 8th centuries.

She was given to a Hrœrekr slöngvanbaugi, the king of Zealand, but would rather have his brother Helgi the Sharp. Ivar Vidfamne solved the problem by telling Hrœrekr that Auðr was unfaithful with Helgi. The ruse was successful and Hrærekr slew his brother Helgi, after which it was easy for Ivar to attack Hrœrekr and to kill him as well.

Auðr fled to Garðaríki with her son Harald Wartooth, and married its king Ráðbarðr with whom she later had the son Randver. Her father king Ivar was upset that his daughter had married without his consent. Although, he was old he departed to Garðaríki with a large leidang. One night, as they were harboured in the Gulf of Finland, he had a strange dream, and so he asked his foster-father Hörð. His foster-father was standing on a high cliff during the conversation and told Ivar that the dream foretold the death of Ivar and the end of his evil deeds. Ivar was so angry by these words that he threw himself down into the sea, whereupon also Hörð did the same thing.

As the throne of Sweden and Denmark was vacant, Auðr's son Harald Wartooth departed to Scania to claim his inheritance, with the help of his step-father Ráðbarðr.

"Byzantine emperor from 1028 to 1034. He was an undistinguished Byzantine patrician, who was compelled by the dying emperor, Constantine VIII, to marry his daughter Zoe and to become his successor. Romanus showed great eagerness to make his mark as a ruler but was mostly unfortunate in his enterprises; and in his endeavour to relieve the pressure of taxation he disorganized the finances of the state. In 1030 he resolved to retaliate against the incursions of the Muslims on the eastern frontier by leading a large army against Aleppo, but he was defeated at Azaz. His death was supposed to have been caused by poison administered by his wife. "
