- Abstract
In the article, based on the source base, an attempt is made to reconstruct the genealogy of the Danish Scyldihg dynasty. The Scylding first ruled in the kingdom of Lehr from the sixth century, and later extended their power to the entire territory of Denmark. It seems that Skjold Skewing was the first real king to start his own dynasty, which later received his name. As a result of the dynastic marriage of Ivar Widfamme's daughter Aud to Rerik the Slyngebond they managed to become related to the Swedish Inglings. With the help of established dynastic ties, Ivar Widfamme ruled Denmark and Sweden at the same time for some time, which gave rise to a popular myth about his origin from the Scylding dynasty. The descendants of Ivar Vidfamme are Harald Gildetan and Sigurd Ring, who converged on the Scylding and Inglingian lines, and which briefly formed a kind of Confederation of two independent kings. The article considers the formation and Reign of Harald Gildetan's descendants in Jutland, until the second half of the IX century. Internecine struggle did not stop with the death of Harald Gildetan, because his sons, and later grandchildren, believed that they had every right to the Danish throne. The struggle between the descendants of Gottfried and Halvdan continued with varying success almost until the end of the IX century, when Denmark was conquered by the Swedes, as a result of which the Direct Line of Scyldings ceased to exist.
