• Notes

  Ref: HISTORY OF THE NONTGOMERYS by B. G. Montgomery pub 1970. NORGES RIIGES HISTORIE by G. Schonning, Soroe, 1773, pp61, 445. According to Adam of Bremen, discord arose between the brothers Harold Klak and Ragnar. Ragnar was compelled to leave Denmark. From his father Halfdan, he inherited Ragnarike(Viken), and parts of Norway. About 860, Ragnar conquered the Orkney Islands, from where he and his sons organized Viking raids on a large scale. During an expedition to England, Ragnar was captured by Ella, King of Northumberland and put to a cruel death in a snake pit. Icelandic chronicles differ on the dates. Hamsforth says 854. Saxon chronicles, probably more reliable, give 865.
