Regarding the parentage of Halfdan the Black (243A-16), Moriarty quotes Howarth, who took the sagas to be generally accurate. However, these sagas date from the 12th (Ari the Historian) and 13th (Snorri Sturleson) centuries. Since Howarth's work, many internal inconsistencies have been pointed out, and the degree to which the accounts can be believed has been called into question. The surviving near-contemporary works mentioning Gudrod the Magnificent only name one son, Olaf Gersted-Alf, while those mentioning Halfdan fail to name his father. Finally, these sources appear to place the two rulers in different kingdoms of what was later to become a united Norway under Harald Fairhair (243A-17). Thus it has been suggested (Steffensen, A Fragment of Viking History, Saga Book 18:59-78; Turville-Petre, The Genealogist and History: Ari to Snorri, Saga Book 20:7-23) that the sagas written three hundred years later invented the clumsy second marriage of Gudrod (with its long chronology) in order to unite a new dynasty with the previous one.
