 Because of the account of Gunnhild's murder contained in the "Jomsviking Saga" and other sources, the body was mistakenly identified as that of Gunnhild.Based upon the belief of her royal personage, King Frederick VI commanded an elaborate sarcophagus be carved to hold her body.This royal treatment of Haraldskær Woman’s remains explains the excellent state of conservation of the corpse; conversely, Tollund Man, a later discovery, was not properly conserved and most of the body has been lost, leaving only the head as original material in his display.
