Knut den harde - Whose son was he?

https://www.geni.com/discussions/135147?by_or_about=600000000427155...

Has already been discussed in this.

The debate at http://www.geni.com/discussions/135147?by_or_about=6000000004271557... resulted in a fairly wide set of sources. We should review that..

This is why I've said "take another look". The profiles seem to be as correctly connected as we can make them, but the note about Sveyn as a son of Sigurd is non-sensical. A message to all managers this morning shows it is leading to confusion.

Let me re-phrase the question.

The curator note implies there is some sort of unexplained background here. For example, I would expect the profile to say something like "Saga X says the father of Knut den harde was King Sveyn, who was the son of Sigurd somebody, but the chronology doesn't work."

That is, there would be some source and point of reference for the curator note.

My question is this -- what source says that? In other words, what problem is the curator note trying to explain?

Since you have trouble understand what I write in english I'll just make my curator notes from now on in danish. I am sure you can get something out of Google translate!

Anette, there's no reason to be snarky about it. It's not the English I don't understand, it's the statement. There should be a simple answer to this. It will be in the form "The information comes from Saga X", whatever Saga X might be.

Well you can talk to Harald about that he has the sources as well. And since we are talking sources you should take a look at the sources of your Ragnar project. You have left quit a few out.
Apparently to you its pic and choose

I'll get there, Anette. I've just begun on that project. Sources still to come.

Maybe it's not as obvious as I thought it was, but my question here has a lot to do Ragnar Lodbrok. There's an issue of echoing or reciprocating problems.

One of the reasons for thinking Ragnar is just a myth is that the chronology doesn't work. And one reason the chronology doesn't work is the problem of dating Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye. And one of the problems of dating Sigurd is the question of his children.

So ... if there is a source that says this Sveyn was son of Sigurd then that would be very interesting.

Did the same to you.

OK. Then, back to my question. What is the source for the idea that this Sveyn was the son of Sigurd (Snake in the Eye)?

Justin, you've already cited the two sources that, if one tries to believe them both and assumes that "son of Sigurd" was really "descendant of Sigurd" in Ragnarssona þattr, Sigurd was an ancestor of Sveyn (not necessarily his father).

I think I've seen the illogical jump to "Sigurd is Sveyn's father" represented in references to English "genealogies of the kings", but I'm not able to lay my hands on an example at the moment - sorry about that!

Thanks, Harald. I'm not sure I see the point of saying that Sveyn could not have been a son of Sigurd if no one is saying he was.

I think what you're saying is that if Ragnarssona þattr says Harthicnut was a son of Sigurd then it might mean that he was a descendant, and if it means he was a descendant then when Adam of Bremen says Harthicnut's father was really Sveyn, then maybe Ragnarssona þattr is implying that this unknown Sveyn was a son (or descendant) of Sigurd.

Quite a stretch I think, but probably best to just ignore the curator note and move on.
