*27. EYSTEIN
GLUMRA of Vors, who married Jocunda,
daughter of Hunthaefer, King of North and South
Mura, two provinces of Norway. They were parents of:
1. Rognvald,
Earl of Mura.
2. Sigurd, Earl
of Orkneys.
3. Malahuc, who
accompanied his nephew Rollo to Normandy
in France.
Eystein Glumra
married second, Ascrida daughter of Ragenwald, or Reynold, son
of Olaus, King of Norway, who kept his court at
Gernstad. Eystein Glumra fled into the kingdom of Norway
about 870 to escape Danish tyranny.
Here it may be
advisable to call special attention to two persons of the same name, one
of them, erroneously, is said to be the maternal grandfather of the
other, namely: Eystein Glumra,
King of Trondhein in 840. He was of the same
generation as Ivar Jarl the father of Eystein Glumra of Vors. The latter was a man full grown in 870, consequently it would not be possible to have these
two Eysteins stand towards each other in the
relationship indicated. There can be no question as to these dates as Eystein was King of Trondheim in 780, Halfdan, his son was King in 810, and Eystein Glumra his son was
King in 840. While taking Rollo as flourishing in 912, then his three
preceding generations would bring Ivar Jarl to
837. [The Book of Bruce, by Lyman Horace Weeks, page 32.] It harmonizes
all the authorities relating to this maternal line of ancestry when we
say that Ivar the Earl married the sister of Eystein Glumra, and that
their son was Eystein Glumra
of Vors who was succeeded by his son,
*26. ROGNVALD,
who became attached to Harold Fairhair and
assisted him in conquering Norway and in welding it into
one kingdom.
