	Ragnvald Eysteinsson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ragnvald "the Wise" Eysteinsson (830–890) (Old Norse: Rögnvaldr Mœrajarl Norwegian: Ragnvald Mørejarl), was jarl (earl) in the northwest coast of Norway, called More, approximately of the Norwegian county today known as Møre og Romsdal.
		Ragnvald was the father of Hrolf Ganger, who according to Norse-Icelandic tradition was the founder of Normandy, (from his marriage), and Turf-Einar, ancestor of the jarls of Orkney (from a concubine).
		Earl Ragnvald would thus be a direct ancestor of Thorfinn II, Earl of Orkney, William I of England, Edward III of England, James I of England, and Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

	Orkneyinga saga (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Orkneyinga saga (also called the History of the Earls of Orkney) is a unique historical narrative of the history of the Orkney Islands, Scotland, from their capture by the Norwegian king in the 9th century onwards until about 1200.
		The saga was written around 1200 (three centuries after the events they record) by an unknown Icelandic author and, as was generally the case with Icelandic language writing of this period, the saga is as much a fictional story as an historic document.
		Throughout the story, a number of characters who are both historical and legendary are introduced: Sigurd the Powerful, Hakon Paulsson, Sigurd the Stout, Ragnvald, Earl of Moer and St Earl Magnus the Martyr.
