Kings of Norway family tree

The following is a traditional and historically incorrect and/or inaccurate family tree of all the Kings of Norway, from Harald Fairhair down to the present day.

Among several problems, the house of King Harald I became patrilineally extinct already when Harald's grandson Harald II died in 970.^[1] Another example is that King Sverre's claim of being the son of King Sigurd II is disputed by modern scholars.^[2]

A normal line indicates a descent that is reasonably certain, whereas a dashed line indicates a claimed descent. In Norway, particularly in the civil war era, such claimed descents were quite common, as many sought the kingship and looked to add legitimacy to their claims.
