Wittekind (?) Duke of Saxony was buried after 7 January 810 at Stiftskirche, Enger, Kreis Herford, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany (now); From Find A Grave:
     BIRTH     735, Landkreis Wittenberg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany
     DEATH     7 Jan 807 (aged 71–72), Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
     11th and last King of Saxony
     Conquered by, Charlemagne, 785
     Baptised with Charlemagne as Godfather
     Became Duke of the Saxons
     Wittekind de Grote von Sachsen (von Wettin)I
     King of Saxons, Hertog van Engern, Koning van Westfalen, Roi des Saxons. A Saxon leader and the chief opponent of Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars.
     Widukind, also known as Widuking or Wittekind, was a Germanic leader of the Saxons and the chief opponent of the Frankish king Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars from 777 to 785. Charlemagne ultimately prevailed, organized Saxony as a Frankish province and ordered conversions of the pagan Saxons to Roman Catholicism. In later times, Widukind became a symbol of Saxon independence and a figure of legend.
     Very little is known about Widukind's life. His name literally translates as "Child of the wood" (i.e. a wolf), more probably a kenning than a proper name. All sources about him stem from his enemies, the Franks, who painted a negative picture, representing him as an "insurgent" and a "traitor". While Widukind was considered the leader of the Saxon resistance by the Franks, his exact role in the military campaigns is unknown.
     There are no contemporary sources about Widukind's life or death after his baptism. It is assumed that he was imprisoned at a monastery — a fate that happened to other rulers deposed by Charlemagne. Reichenau Abbey has been identified as a likely location where Widukind may have spent the rest of his life. Alternatively, he may have received a position in the administration of occupied Saxony. The Vita Liudgeri biography of Saint Ludger mentions him accompanying Charlemagne on his campaign against the Veleti leader Dragovit. According to the 12th century Kaiserchronik he was slain by Charlemagne's brother-in-law Gerold of Baar.
     Enger, The town, first mentioned in 948, calls itself "Widukind's town." The Saxon leader Widukind died about 808. However, there is no evidence that Enger existed in his lifetime.
     A legend tells that Widukind founded a church in Enger mafter his baptism, and that he lived at the place until his death. He was buried in the church of Enger, and his monumental tomb is still there. Despite this, it remains doubtful that the remains of Widukind are actually in the tomb. Analysis shows that the memorial slab dates to the time around the year 1100. The main current attractions of Enger are Widukind's tomb, the Widukind museum, the Widukind festival ("Timpkenfest"), held annually on January 6 and the "Kirschblütenfest".

The Annales Laurissenses state that "Widochindis rebellis" was the only Saxon who did not submit to the Franks in 777[16]. Widukind incited another revolt in 778 while King Charles was campaigning in Spain, but was defeated near Leisa on the river Eder[17]. The Annales Laurissenses record that Charles I King of the Franks sent his missus "Amelwinum" to besiege "Widochindum et Abbionem" in 785, that they surrendered and were baptised at "Attiniacum villa"[18]. Adam of Bremen records that "Widichind" surrendered and accepted baptism in 785[19].

     "[HLODVIR Torfinnsson ([945/50]-[988], bur Hofn, Caithness). Orkneyinga Saga names (in order) “Arnfinn…Havard the Fecund…Hlodvir…Ljot…Skuli” as the five sons of Thorfinn[872]. Snorre names "the Earls Hlodver, Arnfid, Ljot and Skule, the sons of Thorfin Hausakljufer" as rulers in Orkney when Queen Gunhild and her sons returned to Orkney[873]. In a later saga, Snorre names (in order) "Arnfin, Havard, Hlodver, Liot and Skule" as sons of Thorfin "Hausakljufer"[874]. Orkneyinga Saga records that “after Ljot’s death, Hlodvir took charge of the earldom”, presumably indicating Ljot’s brother but this is not explicitly stated in the text, recording that “he died in his bed” and was buried “in a burial mound at Ham in Caithness”[875]..
     "m EITHNE, daughter of KIARVAL King of Ireland & his wife ---. Orkneyinga Saga records that “Hlodvir” married “Eithne, the daughter of King Kjarval of Ireland”, adding in a later passage that “Sigurd’s mother was a sorceress”[876]. Hlodve’s supposed father-in-law has not been identified among known Irish kings."

He was Earl of Orkney: [Ashley, p. 445] HLODVIR earl of Orkney, ?984-?7. Hlodvir was the last surviving son of THORFINN SKULL-SPLITTER. He may have been born about 946 and although we do not know the date of his accession it cannot have been much earlier than 983 or 984 to have allowed for the internecine struggles between his brothers. Hlodvir managed to keep out of the way of his scheming sister-in-law Ragnhild, probably because he was already married (to Ethne, the daughter of an Irish king, in about 966). We know nothing more about Hlodvir's reign, and he died, probably of an illness, in 986 or 987. He was buried at Hofn in Caithness. He had two daughters and one son, SIGURD, who succeeded him. One daughter married Gilli, the earl of the Hebrides, whilst the other married Havard, the steward of Caithness. between 984 and 987.2

Thorfinn I Hausakliffer "Skull-Splitter" (?) Jarl of Orkney died in 977.2
     GAV-35 EDV-31. He was Earl of Orkney: [Ashley, p. 444] THORFINN (I) HAUSAKLIFFER (SKULL-SPLITTER) earl of Orkney c947-77. He was the youngest son of EINAR (I) and was probably born about the year 910 or slightly earlier. The sagas recall that he ruled jointly with his brothers ARNKEL and ERLEND, though he is unlikely to have done so from the start, and may only have done so once all three had become vassals to ERIK BLOODAXE, who imposed his authority on the earldom in 937. Thorfinn's nickname suggests he was strong and powerful in battle, and he almost certainly joined his brothers with their new leader in their raids about the coast. Thorfinn's brothers do not seem to have married, but Thorfinn married Grelod, the daughter of the mórmaer of Caithness and granddaughter of THORSTEIN THE RED. He had five sons and two daughters. Whereas Thorfinn's elder brothers were closer companions of Erik's, and were with him during his final rule of York, Thorfinn remained behind in Orkney, and thus may have been the sole authority on the island for much of the time from 947 on. Even though he inherited the earldom after his brothers were killed alongside Erik in 954, he remained subservient to Erik's widow GUNNHILDR and her sons when they returned to Orkney that same year. It was at this time that Thorfinn's son ARNFINN married Gunnhildr's daughter Ragnhild. However, once they left in 955, Thorfinn finally became sole earl, though he had to relinquish that briefly to Gunnhildr and her sons when they returned in 976. Thorfinn lived to an old age, probably about sixty-seven, and was accorded a proud Viking burial in the Sound of Hoxa off South Ronaldsay. between 947 and 977.2

     Thorstein 'the Red' Olafsson (?) married Thurid Eyvindsdatter (?)3
Thorstein 'the Red' Olafsson (?) was born circa 858 at Dublin, co. Cork, Ireland.
Thorstein 'the Red' Olafsson (?) died in 900.4
     He was Prince of Dublin at Dublin, Ireland.5 GAV-37. He was Ruler of Caithness and Sutherland, [Ashley, p. 441] THORSTEIN RAUDR (THE RED) ruled Caithness and Sutherland, c875- c900. Thorstein was the son of OLAF THE WHITE and grandson of KETIL FLATNOSE. He stood to inherit a substantial kingdom, since Olaf was the king of Dublin, and Ketil was ruler of the Hebrides. However, Ketil displeased Olaf, and though he continued to rule, it does not seem that his heirs inherited his lands. Quite whether Olaf intended Thorstein to be his heir is not known, but by 872 Olaf had either been killed in battle or had returned to Norway. Ketil was now dead, and Thorstein decided to carve out his own kingdom. He joined forces with SIGURD THE MIGHTY of the Orkneys and together made themselves masters of much of northern Britain, certainly Caithness and Sutherland, and probably parts of Moray and Ross. Thorstein had married Thorida, the granddaughter of Cerball, king of Ossory in Ireland, and former ally of his father. He recognized the importance of political marriages as alliances following conquest. His daughter Groa married Dungad (or Duncan), the mórmaer of Caithness, who presumably recognized Thorstein as his overlord rather than the king of the Scots. Thorstein sought to extend his sovereignty further south into Scotland but he was lured into a trap and killed in the ensuing battle, probably around the year 900. After this his mother, Aud, decided she had no future in Britain. She gathered about her her family and friends and set sail for Iceland. Thorstein's son, Olaf, became the progenitor of a great dynasty in Iceland which was long remembered in the sagas. between 875 and 900.2

Olaf 'The White' Ingjaldsson (?) King of Ireland died in 871 at Dublin, co. Cork, Ireland.
     GAV-38 EDV-34. He was Overlord of the Picts and Scots, [Ashley, p. 385] OLAF or ANLAF GOTHFRITHSON, THE WHITE Dublin, 853-71; overlord of Picts and Scots, 866-71. Olaf established himself as king of the Norse Vikings in Dublin in 853. Within four years he was in league with the leader of the Danish Vikings, IVARR THE BONELESS, and the two used Dublin as the base for raids not only along the Irish coast but throughout the western isles and sea lochs of Scotland. In 866 he embarked on a major campaign across Scotland, seeking to establish a right of access from the Clyde to the Forth which would allow the Viking longships to be transported across land rather than to risk the vulnerable trip around the north Scottish coast. Olaf not only defeated the king of the Picts and Scots, CONSTANTINE (I), but he demanded tribute from him. Olaf may thus be regarded as the overlord of the Picts and Scots from 866 to 871. His authority over Constantine allowed the free passage of Vikings across Pictland and this facilitated the Danish conquest of York and East Anglia. Olaf's impact upon Britain was therefore significant. Olaf married at least three times. His first wife was Aud the Deep-Minded, the daughter of KETIL FLATNOSE, by whom he was the father of THORSTEIN THE RED. He also married the daughter of KENNETH MACALPIN and finally a daughter of CONSTANTINE (I). The historical record is vague about Olaf's fate. One record suggests that he became involved with RAGNALD in the battle to clear the Orkneys of Norse pirates and was killed at the battle of Hafrsfiord in 872. Another suggestion is that Olaf returned to Norway to assist his father and brother in the civil war that eventually resulted in establishing a united kingdom of Norway. If so, then he is almost certainly the same Olaf who was buried in the ship at Gotstad, one of the rich archeological finds in Scandinavia. He was hailed as the greatest ruler of the western seas. between 853 and 871.2
