Notizen zu dieser Person
he saga accounts are the best known, and the latest, of the threesurviving traditions concerning Rognvald and the foundation of theEarldom of Orkney. Recorded in the 13th century, their views areinformed by Norwegian politics of the day. Once, historians couldwrite that no-one denied the reality of Harald Fairhair's expeditionsto the west recounted in Heimskringla, but this is no longer the case.The Norwegian contest with the the Kings of Scots over the Hebridesand the Isle of Man in the middle 13th century underlies the sagas. In the Heimskringla, Rognvald is Earl of Møre. He accompanies HaraldFairhair on his great expeditions to the west, to Ireland and toScotland. Here, Rognvald's son Ivarr is killed. In compensation KingHarald grants Rognvald the Orkneys and Shetlands. Rognvald himselfreturns to Norway, giving the northern isles to his brother SigurdEysteinsson. The Heimskringla recounts other tales of Rognvald. It tells how hecauses Harald Finehair to be given his byname Fairhair by cutting anddressing his hair, which had been uncut for ten years on account ofHarald's vow never to cut it until he was ruler of all Norway, and itmakes him the father of Ganger-Hrólf, identified by saga writers withthe Rollo (Hrólfr), ancestor of the Dukes of Normandy, who wasestablished as Count of Rouen by King Charles the Simple in 931. Earl Rognvald is killed by Harald's son Halfdan Hålegg. Rognvald'sdeath is avenged by his son, Earl Turf-Einar, from whom later Orkneyearls claimed descent, who kills Halfdan on North Ronaldsay.
