Another name for Torgils was Torgils Sprakling.
General Notes:
Torgils angelsaksiske navn var Sprakling. Harald Blåtann hadde antagelig bestemt at Torgils skulle bli hans ettermann. Han må derfor ha hatt fordring på Danmark foruten på Sveriges krone. Han var altså medbeiler til Olav Sigurdsson. Mogens Bugge fører i "Våre forfedre" Torgils som sønn til Björn "Styrbjörn" Olavsson og sønnesønn til Olav, bror til Erik Segersäll av Sverige. ________________________________ Torkel Styrbjörnsson, Torgils, Sprakalägg or Sprakling was the son of the disinherited Swedish prince Styrbjörn Starke, the son of king Olof (II) Björnsson of Sweden. His mother was Tyra, the daughter of Harold Bluetooth (king of Denmark and Norway). He died at the Battle of Swold. Children: Ulf Sprakaläggsson (988-1027), the Jarl of Canute the Great in Denmark and Danish steward. Gytha Thorkelsdóttir who was to marry Godwin, Earl of Wessex.
Research Notes:
T.Nygaard notes his birthday as cir 980.
