She was married first to Eric the Victorious of Sweden and then Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark, according to German chroniclers, and gave them the sons Olof, and Canute and Harald, respectively.

Gunhild might be identical to the historical wife of Sweyn. Further, the dual marriage reported by Adam of Bremen matches the Heimskringla account of Sigrid the Haughty.

This would mean that the woman called Gunhild in the sagas was Eric's widow, as several historians have concluded. >> Finally, it is possible that Gunhild is simply a legendary invention <<, not directly based on Sweyn's known Polish wife."
