::::::::::I'm not sure where you get 17th century and 500 years after the fact - the Icelanders were undoubtedly in part motivated by the desire to make clear how Icelandic families of the settlement era were related to the kings, and in part by the desire to get regnal dates established as reference points for those family histories, and these needs were 11th and 12th century ones. But I am not saying carefully crafted as an attested historical reconstruction. There's a wide gulf between that and "fairytales" - as expressed by your "politically/socially accurate." I think you are making too much of a dichotomy. In any event, the Heimskringla version is part of our mission, even if we have to say, as the section and the header to the family tree currently do, that these are "Heimskringla's version" and explain that many scholars doubt them. Hence I've put back the portions of the genealogy that you left out - I appreciate the compromise of leaving the diagram but excising them, but they're part of the picture, and we are making clear that many scholars doubt its veracity. I've also restored my wording in the paragraph that discusses the topic because "invention" seems way too strong and other than that, the formulation I had seems more emphatic, with "especially in regard to Harald's descent" at the end of the sentence.
