These formulas are highly relevant to such a phenomenon as the woman\u2019s reign in the 10th c., which is also called the Saga Age. Although usually the king description formulas are formed around the patronym, there are several known cases when the patronym is replaced by the matronym. The analysis of matronyms allows us to claim the existence of the co-reign of Gunnhildr konungam\u00f3\u00f0ir and her sons. Based on <em>Heimskringla, J\u00f3msv\u00edkinga<\/em> <em>saga<\/em> and skaldic poetry, the following research shows that the matronymic construction <em>Gunnhildar synir<\/em> is regularly used in sagas towards Gunnhild\u2019s children as a frequent substitute for the patronym <em>Eir\u00edks synir<\/em>. The paper considers a specific model of coregency \u201cmother + son\/sons\u201d and analyses functional distribution of patronyms and matronyms in the corresponding saga narratives. Moreover, the article examines a similar example of the co-reign found in the Old Russian <em>Primary Chronicle<\/em>, namely the case of Olga of Kiev and her son Svyatoslav I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-2c110706-b6d7-403e-b408-a477afcfafb4\"><em><em>Keywords: <\/em><\/em>Icelandic Sagas; Medieval Russia; Old Norse Literature; Onomastics; Patronyms.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-c646d808-948b-434d-b538-2b1811ddb4ba\">FOR CITATION<br><em><em>\u041e\u0440\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0441\u043a\u0430\u044f \u041c. \u041c. <\/em><\/em>\u041c\u0430\u0442\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438\u043c \u043a\u0430\u043a \u043c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0435\u0440 \u0432\u043b\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438 \u0436\u0435\u043d\u0449\u0438\u043d\u044b-\u0441\u043e\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0446\u044b \u0432 \u0434\u0440\u0435\u0432\u043d\u0435\u0441\u0435\u0432\u0435\u0440\u043d\u043e\u043c \u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c \u043d\u0430\u0440\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0432\u0435 [Digital Resource] [<em>Orlovskaia M. <\/em>Matronym as a Marker of Woman\u2019s Reign in Old Norse Historical Narrative] \/\/ Vox medii aevi. 2020.
