Story
http://www.kongernesjelling.dk/sw233.asp
Svend 1. Tveskæ g lever op til de bedste tegneserieforestillinger om en rigtig vikingekonge. Han kom til magten ved et kup, som tog livet af hans far, og i sin regeringstid var han konstant på farten og i krig.
Fø rst og fremmest var det England, der havde hans interesse. Efter en ræ kke å r med vikingetogter og plyndringer kunne han i 1013 erobre hele landet. Inden da havde han desuden genvundet kontrollen over Norge efter sø slaget mod Olav Tryggvarson ved ø en Svold.
Det er da også primæ rt som krigerkonge, at Sven huskes, men vi kender ham også som den fø rste danske konge, der slog mø nt med eget navn på . Mø nterne var dog uden portræ t, så de kan ikke fortæ lle os om Svens udseende og det skæ g, der tilsyneladende har givet ham tilnavnet.
Sven nå ede ikke at få megen glæ de af erobringen af England. Han dø de nemlig å ret efter og blev i fø rste omgang begravet i domkirken i York i England, men blev senere fø rt til Roskilde.
