  1. 1.  Harald Grenske was born about 952; died about 995.

    Notes:

    Called "the Greenlander" but not from Greenland; he appears to have been from Grenland in Norway. Supposedly murdered by foster sister Sigrid Storrada. "Recent scholarship has questioned the historicity of Harald." [Wikipedia]

    Todd A. Farmerie, 26 Apr 2016, post to soc.genealogy.medieval:

    In Norway, probably no earlier than the father of St. Olaf (these genealogies appear to have been reworked to make the warlords who succeeded to Norway be descendants of Harald Fairhair).

    Family/Spouse: Asta Gudbrandsdottir. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Children:
