	Sweyn II of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sweyn seems to have been able to read and write, and he is the source of much of our current knowledge about Denmark in the 9th and 10th centuries, having told the story of his ancestry to historian Adam of Bremen around 1070.
		Sweyn's first marriage was to a girl to whom he was distantly related, and it was ordered by the Pope to dissolve the union, which he did, only to take one mistress after another during the rest of his life.
		Sweyn Estridsson fathered at least 19 children, probably more, and while none of them were born in wedlock, and none of their mothers are known, five of his numerous sons became kings after their father, beginning with Harald III Hen in 1076 and ending with King Niels, who was murdered in 1134.

	Sweyn I of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is highly doubtful; Adam's writings regarding Sweyn and his father are compromised by his (Adam's) desire to emphasize Sweyn's father Harold as a candidate for sainthood, and he claims that Sweyn, who was baptized along with his father, was a heathen.
		And furthermore, Sweyn Forkbeard is known with a high degree of certainty to have presided over a meeting between two of his earls on the Danish island of Sejerø near Zealand's northeastern tip in 993, at least a year before the death of king Erik and Sweyn's supposed "return" to Denmark.
		Sweyn Forkbeard's nickname, which was probably used during his lifetime, refers to a long, pitchfork-like moustache, a "tjuge" in Old Norse, not to a full beard.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Edward the Confessor
		Early misfortune thus taught Edward the folly of ambition, and he grew up in innocence, delighting chiefly in assisting at Mass and the church offices, and in association with religious, whilst not disdaining the pleasures of the chase, or recreations suited to his station.
		Upon Canute's death in 1035 his illegitimate son, Harold, seized the throne, Hardicanute being then in Denmark, and Edward and his brother Alfred were persuaded to make an attempt to gain the crown, which resulted in the cruel death of Alfred who had fallen into Harold's hands, whilst Edward was obliged to return to Normandy.
		His reign was one of almost unbroken peace, the threatened invasion of Canute's son, Sweyn of Norway, being averted by the opportune attack on him by Sweyn of Denmark; and the internal difficulties occasioned by the ambition of Earl Godwin and his sons being settled without bloodshed by Edward's own gentleness and prudence.
