The archbishop of Bremen-Hamburg Unni came to the danish royal town Jelling to receive permission to christian mission in Denmark.
The Danish king Gorm the old rejected him with a tough attitude, but his son Harald Bluetooth treated Unni friendly and allowed him to preach on the Danish islands.
Gorm the old was probably born between 908 and 918 and probably a son of the founder of the Jelling dynasty Knud 1. Hardeknud Svendsen, which after 900 took control over West Denmark.
The son of Hardeknud, Gorm the old killed Gnupa and the queen Tyre with the nickname reinforced Dannevirke. The son of Gnupa,Sigtryg was driven out of Denmark.
