The result was speedy redirect. Just realised I could redirect to the videogame. (non-admin closure) SITH (talk) 19:24, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Hoax. The book which he apparently is mentioned in contains no mention of a "Jon Jarl". [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2gIK29dXvMAC&lpg=PA260&ots=QoGwJ98DQY&dq=Kristina+Tyrgilsdotter&pg=PA102&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=jon&f=false Link to English translation.] Four other people by the name "Jon" and permutations thereof are mentioned but they are all historically distinct figures. Furthermore, a character by this name exists in a videogame ([http://de.jorvikpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jon_Jarl 1], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqAvp6PvuUE 2]) and there are no mentions of such a historical figure existing in WorldCat, JSTOR, Wiley or Dawesonera. Furthermore, the article claims Jon Jarl was buried in Linkoping Cathedral but the only recorded burial of a "Jon", "John", "Johnathan", "Jonathan" or "Johannes" at that cathedral is John, Duke of Östergötland. It is for these reasons I think this is a hoax. SITH (talk) 19:22, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
