Gorm the Old - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | His ancestry may lie with the Danish rulers in East Anglia, one of which was named Guthrum, a form of the name Gorm. |
 | | His father came to Denmark around 916 or 917 and deposed the young king Sigtrygg Gnupasson, and when Harthaknut died, Gorm ascended to the throne. |
 | | Claims that he took it by force, or that he only ruled part of the peninsula of Jutland are almost certainly erroneous… |
