		For example, the story of Gorm "the Old" given in the Icelandic sagas (there being no known early authority for the nickname "the Old") has the story of his death as a prominent feature, in which he is survived by his wife Thyre.
		Since it is known from the contemporary evidence that Thyre died before Gorm, the saga story of Gorm's death is shown to be a fabrication, casting suspicion on the saga material.
		The earliest sources for the history of the kings of Denmark during the tenth century, and the only ones which are strictly contemporary, are several runic inscriptions in Jutland that mention certain Danish kings, including Gorm and his son Harald.

	Gorm Rye Olsen & Jess Pilegaard: "The Cost of Non-Europe? Denmark and the Common Security and Defence Policy" - DIIS
		The article by Gorm Rye Olsen and Jess Pilegaard argues that the Danish opt-out from the cooperation on the EU’s common defence policy has had limited effects for Danish influence possibilities within the European Union.
		On the one hand, the opt-out sends an unclear and inconsistent signal to Denmark’s partners which again hampers the possibilities for using Danish coalition power within the EU.
		On the other hand, contrary to both theoretical expectations and common sense intuition, there is little to suggest that the opt-out has had negative consequences for Denmark’s influence in the EU.

	Northvegr - A History of the Vikings
		The story of Denmark's development into the formidable kingdom ruled by Svein begins in the days of his grandfather Gorm, a monarch whose achievements history has unhappily failed to chronicle although his reputation as a mighty man has survived into saga-tradition.
		Here it was that Gorm was laid to rest beneath a great barrow that can still be seen, and here too stands the gravemound, or cenotaph, (1) of Thyra, his queen, a royal lady who has been honoured in later days as a noble defender of the Danevirke.
		Tradition, from the saga-period onwards, has given Gorm the credit of this achievement, but the inscription on the Jellinge stone proves that Harald deemed himself in some special sense the founder of the Danish kingdom, perhaps by the consolidation of his father's territorial gains and the firm administration of newly acquired lands in Norway.
