sentences:  One of Egill's "lausavísur" speaks of an encounter in England with a man of "Harald's line" ("Haralds áttar"), while the "Arinbjarnarkviða" envisages a ruler at York (Jórvik) who is a descendant of Halfdán ("Halfdanar") and of the Yngling dynasty ("ynglings burar").If genuine, the latter identification would form the only direct clue in the contemporary record which might link Eric with the Norwegian dynasty.Another Harald known from this period is Aralt mac Sitric (d. 940), king of Limerick, the probable father of Maccus and Gofraid.
