Research Notes:
either husband or son of Thyra, daughter of Harold Bluetooth, King of Denmark [Ref: Weir RoyalFam p34]

Isenburg (1987) II Table 70 shows (without citing his authority) Jarl Thorkill (or Thurkill) Sprakaleg as son of Styr-Bjorn (son of Olaf Bjorson 984, King of Sweden) by Thyra, d. 18 Sep 1000, dau of Harold VII "Bluetooth", King of Denmark. This line is followed by Moriarty. (Harold was son of Gorm the Old, King of Denmark, d.936, and Thyra "Danebod".) However, Brenner, in his Nachkomen Gorms des Alten (1978), does not include Thorkill as a child of Thyra, and only gives a daughter Gunhild, and a son (by Thyra's 3rd husband) Harold Olavsson, who d. aged 1 yr.
