The Roskilde Cathedral has more royal burials than any other cathedral in Europe.  Much of the information on my family lineage comes from records that were made by an unnamed monk who recorded their names here.  King of Denmark, Harold "Bluetooth" Gormsson, the son of Old Gorm, both are my relatives.  Harold buried his father and mother in Jelling but he moved to Roskilde where he held court.   One of sons, Sweyn Forkbeard, wanted to take control of the kingdom and declared war on his father. Harold was killed in the battle and was buried here in the cathedral under one of the pillars on the left, as the story goes.  The church site was used for several rebuildings including after one fire that burned down most of the town, and consequently bones were lost or not identified in the process.
