  Siegfried 'the Dane' (''Sifridus de Dachia''), a viking, controlled the a r e a a r o und Gu�nes in 928, though he never seemed to have been designate d a s C o u n t. In about 965 he fell in love with Elftrude (''Elstrude'') the beautiful d a u g h t er of Arnulf (Arnoul) I, Count of Flanders, and she fell pregnant. S i e g f r ied died in 965 and she had a posthumous son, baptised as Ardolf ( A r d o l ph), who became the first Count of Gu�nes
