Reginmar

Reginmar is a historical figure from Jutland, Denmark, who lived in the 9th or 10th century. He is mentioned in the works of the Anglo-Saxon chronicler Simeon of Durham and the Jutland historian Saxo Grammaticus. Reginmar is described as a Danish nobleman who held a high position in the kingdom of Jutland.

According to Simeon, Reginmar was involved in a conflict with the Danish king Gorm the Old, who had seized his lands. Reginmar is said to have been a Christian, which was unusual for a Danish nobleman at that time. Saxo provides a detailed account of Reginmar's dealings with King Gorm, highlighting their complex and often antagonistic relationship.

Historians have interpreted Reginmar's story as a reflection of the complex relationships between the Danish kingdoms of the late Viking Age. Reginmar's position as a Christian nobleman and his conflicts with the pagan King Gorm have been seen as evidence of the growing influence of Christianity in Denmark during this period.

The historical record of Reginmar is partially situational, as some of the accounts of his life are likely based on oral traditions passed down through the generations. While the specifics of his story may be subject to debate, Reginmar's existence remains a significant event in the history of Jutland and Denmark during the Viking Age.
