Eystein Glumra (the Clatterer), also
called Eystein Ivarsson (born ca. 805 in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway) was
Jarl (Earl) of Oppland and Hedmark in Norway.[1][2]
The Heimskringla Saga states that
Eystein Glumra was the father of Rognvald Eysteinsson and Sigurd
Eysteinsson. And, that he was grandfather of Guthorm Sigurdsson and
Torf-Einarr. Although the Saga does mention a few Ivars, none are
said to be Eystein's father.[3]
The first earl in the Orkney Islands
was called Sigurd, who was a son of Eystein Glumra, and brother of
Ragnvald earl of More. After Sigurd, his son Guthorm was earl for one
year. After him Torf-Einar, a son of Ragnvald, took the earldom, and
was long earl, and was a man of great power.
According to the Orkneyinga Saga,
Eystein the noisy was the son of Ivar the Uplanders’ earl, and
grandson of Halfdan the Old. He was also father of Rognvald The
Wise.[4]
Heiti, Gorr’s son, was father of
Sveiði the sea-king, the father of Halfdan the old, the father of
Ivar the Uplanders’ earl, the father of Eystein the noisy, the
father of earl Rognvald the mighty and the wise in council.
Orkneyinga Saga makes his grandson
Hrolf identical to Rollo, conqueror of Normandy, and hence ancestor
of William the Conqueror and the resulting Royal Families of England,
although the connection is viewed skeptically by scholars.

“Gorr had the isles, and for that he
was called a sea-king; his sons were they Heiti and Beiti, they were
sea-kings and mighty overbearing men. They had made many inroads on
the realm of Norr's sons, and they had many battles and now one, now
the other won the day. Beiti ran into Drontheim and warred there; he
lay where it is now called Beitsea and Beitstede; thence he made them
drag his ship from the innermost bight of Beitstede, and so north
over Elduneck, that is where the Naumdales come down from the north.
He sat himself on the poop and held the tiller in his hand, and
claimed for his own all that land that then lay on the larboard, and
that is many tilths and much land. Heiti, Gorr's son, was father of
Sveidi, the sea-king, the father of Halfdan the old, the father of
Ivar the Uplander's earl, the father of Eystein the noisy, the father
of earl Rognvald the mighty and the wise in council.
Earl Rognvald joined Harold fair-hair
when he seized the land, but he (Harold) gave him lordship over both
the Maeren and Romsdale; he had to wife Ragnhilda the daughter of
Hrolf nosy; their son was Hrolf who won Normandy, he was so tall that
horses could not carry him; for that he was called Ganging-Hrolf;
from him are come the Rouen Jarls and the English Kings; their son
was also Ivar, and Thorir the silent. Rognvald had also base-born
sons, their names were Hallad and Hrollaug and Einar, he was the
youngest. Harold fair-hair fared the summer west across the sea to
chastise the Vikings, when he was weary at the peacelessness of those
who harried in Norway in summer, but were in the winter in Shetland
or the Orkneys. He laid under him Shetland and the Orkneys and the
Southern Isles; he fared west too as far as Man, and laid waste the
tilths of Man. He had there many battles, and took as his own lands
so far west that no king of Norway has ever owned land further west
since. And in one battle, Ivar, son of earl Rognvald, fell. But when
king Harold sailed from the west, then he gave to earl Rognvald, as
an atonement for his son, Shetland and the Orkneys; but earl Rognvald
gave both lands to Sigurd and his brother: he was one of king
Harold's forecastle men. The king gave Sigurd the title of earl when
he went from the west, and Sigurd stayed behing there in the west.”
