Adam of Bremen
Adam of Bremen mentions several kings from the 10th century preceding Gorm the Old. He claims Svend Estridson as his source. Many of these are also confirmed by other sources.
- Helgi
- Olof the Brash (Olav/Ole den Frøkne): mention o. 925
- Gyrd and Gnupa: mention 934
- Sigtrygg Gnupasson (Sigerich): c. 935, but conflicts with Harthacnut's deposition of him about 917
- Harthacnut Very likely preceded Gorm the Old
