Note: Many people have Herfast as son of Gorm, but the dates would indicate younger 
brother. In addition Gorm, according to the Royal Families of Scandinavia, is known to 
have only two sons: Knut, who died abt 936, & Harald Bluetooth, who possibly killed 
his older brother.

The general opinion of professional genealogists is that Herfast's ancestry is 
unknown, but probably the ancestors of Gunnora, wife of Richard I of Normandy were 
minor nobles, of Danish origin. Gorm was a powerful monarch of a united Denmark, 
while his father Harald was a minor king of the island of Sjaelland. Thus a younger son 
of Harald would fit the mold better than a son of Gorm.
