Narrative

>> Ulf Thorgilsson = Ulf Jarl = Ulf the Earl <<

"Ulf Jarl (Ulf Thorgilsson) was a Danish earl ('Jarl') and regent of Denmark."

"Ulf Jarl was the son of Danish chieftain Thorgils Sprakalägg."

"In 1015-16, he married Cnut's sister, Estrid Svendsdatter of Denmark, by whom he had sons, SVEND, who later became the king of Denmark, and BJØRN, who would become an Earl in England. Chronicler Adam of Bremen also gives Ulf a son, Åsbjørn, but DOES NOT explicitly name him as son of Estrith, as he does with Svein and Beorn. There MAY have also been a daughter - Harald Hardrådes saga, part of Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson gives an account of Åsmund, son of Svein's sister, yet he is likely the same Åsmund named as son of Beorn in Morkinskinna."

"At a banquet in Roskilde, the two brothers-in-law were playing chess and started arguing with each other. The next day, the Christmas of 1026, Cnut had one of his housecarls kill Earl Ulf in Trinity Church, the predecessor of Roskilde Cathedral."
