Officials want to twin the town with Sweyn's birthplace of Roskilde, Denmark and stage a festival.

They also hope to mark his death with a re-enactment of a Viking burial.

Seems rather inappropriate since Sweyn himself did not have a Viking burial.

After his death, Sweyn Forkbeard was taken to York, before being taken back to his Danish birthplace for burial. He is said to have been laid to rest in a wooden church on the site of Roskilde Cathedral
