General Notes:
De sikre informasjoner vi har om Gunhild er ytterst få, hennes slaviske navn er ikke kjent. Adam av Bremen setter hennes ekteskap med Erik Segersäll i forbindelse med et forenet svensk-slavisk angrep på Danmark, men den historiske bakgrunn for dette kan ikke kontrolleres. Ifølge Adam fødte hun Erik sønnen Olof Skötkonung. Etter Eriks død giftet hun seg med Svend Tjugeskjegg, muligens da denne ca. år 1000 inngikk forbund med kong Olav. Hun ble senere bortvist av Svend, og levde i mange år i Vendland, inntil hennes sønner etter Svends død hentet henne hjem til Danmark. De islandske sagaforfatterne har knyttet forskjellige ikke historiskt korrekte trekk til hennes navn, og dette har senere i tradisjonen blitt fortrengt av den svenske dronning Sigrid Storråde. Gunhild was the sister of Boleslav I of Poland (992 - 1025) and not his daughter as Snorre Sturlasson related. From Snorre Sturlasson: King Olaf Trygvason's Saga: "22. OLAF TRYGVASON'S MARRIAGE. While Olaf lay at Borgundarholm there came on bad weather, storm, and a heavy sea, so that his ships could not lie there; and he sailed southwards under Vindland, where they found a good harbour. They conducted themselves very peacefully, and remained some time. In Vindland there was then a king called Burizleif, who had three daughters, -- Geira, Gunhild, and Astrid. ..."
Noted events in her life were:
• She was a Queen.
Gunhild married Eric VI the Victorious Bjornsson, son of Bjorn the Old of Sweden Ericsson and Unknown, circa 980-985. (Eric VI the Victorious Bjornsson died in 995.)
