Gunhilde
Gunhilde (or Gunnhild) (died 13 November 1002) is said to have been the sister of Sweyn Forkbeard, King of Denmark, and the daughter of Harald Bluetooth. She was married to Pallig, a Dane who served the King of England, Æthelred the Unready, as ealdorman of Devonshire.〔
She is supposed to have been a hostage in England when she was killed in the St. Brice's Day massacre, ordered by Æthelred. Pallig is reported alternatively to have been killed in the massacre or to have provoked the massacre by deserting Æthelred's service.〔Ryan Lavelle, ''Aethelred II: King of the English'', The History Press, 2008, pp. 104-105〕
Historians are divided about the strength of the evidence that she was Sweyn Forkbeard's sister. She is not mentioned in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entries for Sweyn〔(Sweyn, Oxford Online DNB )〕 and Æthelred,〔(Æthelred, Oxford Online BNB )〕 and Ryan Lavelle is sceptical of the reliability of the later medieval sources, such as the Chronicle of John of Wallingford, which mention her.〔〔The describes her as Sweyn's sister, but states that the primary source for the statement has not been identified.〕 However, Frank Stenton described the claim as a "well recorded tradition", and considered that a desire to avenge her death was probably a principal motive for Sweyn's invasion of England in 1003,〔Frank Stenton, ''Anglo-Saxon England'', Third Edition, Oxford University Press, 1971, p. 380〕 leading to the eventual conquest of England by his son Cnut.
