| 152 | About Sigurd Gunnarsson Hvit Kane Som Kane-ættas stamfar regnes Gunnar Toraldeson, visstnok den samme som var fehirde i Bergen ca. 1340. Det var ellers i Vestfold ætta hadde sine store jordegods og synes å ha hørt hjemme. Han hadde to sønner, Sigurd og Toralde. Sigurd hadde igjen en sønn, Toralde Sigurdson som var gift med Adalis Erlingsdtr. fra Tolstad i Vågå. Med disses sønn Trond Toraldeson kom ætta til Aspa på Nordmøre, da han ble gift med datter til den rike jordeieren Aslak Jonsson i Aspa, og fra disse utgår den såkalte Kane-Aspe-ætt, også kalt Trygge-ætt. Deres sønner var erkebiskop Olav (1405-1474) og den noe yngre Ivar Trondsson i Aspa. Det har vært hevdet at erkebiskop Gaute Ivarson skulle være sønn av Ivar Trondsson i Aspa, men for noen år siden ble det i Det Kgl. Bibliotek i København funnet en ættebok fra ca. 1540 der etterkommerne etter Aslak Jonson i Aspa er oppskrevet i 5-6 generasjoner, og Gaute Ivarson er ikke nevnt der.( Norsk Slektshistorisk tidsskrift XIII - 1952) -------------------------- Kane. Utdødd norsk adelsslekt. Dens eldste kjente medlem er væpneren og riksråden Gunnar Toraldsson Kane rundt 1400. Av Gunnars tre sønner Erik, Torald og Nikulas, var sistnevnte ridder og riksråd 1444. Gunnars datter Sigrid var gift med væpneren og riksråden Svale Jonsson. Gunnars sønnesønner, Gaute (Toraldsson) Kane og Gaute (Nikulasson) Kane var begge riddere og riksråder. Førstnevnte medbeseglet 1450 unionsavtalen mellom Norge og Danmark, sistnevnte kong Hans' håndfestning, Halmstadrecessen, 1483. Slektens mannslinje døde sannsynligvis ut med Toralds sønnesønn, væpneren, riksråden og lensherren Arild (Ottesson) Kane, som ble drept av bøndene på Sunnmøre 1496. http://www.snl.no/Kane -------------------- Ridder og riksråd i Vestfold | Gunnarson Hvit Kane, Sigurd (I2174)

I 1066 var han lendermann og omtales etter Olav Kyrres død i 1093 som en eldre mann. Hans sønner var da voksne og han hadde i lengre tid bodd på familiesetet Giske. Han deltok i kong Magnus Barfots store ferd til Orknøyene i 1098. I 1101-1102 hadde han en alvorlig tvist med sin frende Magnus Barfot om noe dannefæ som begge tilegnet seg. Retten synes å ha vært på Skoftes side, men Magnus ville ikke gi seg. Skofte seilte derfor fra landet i 1102 med 5 velutrustede skip sammen med sine 3 sønner, Finn, Agmunn og Tord. De dro til Flandern, våren 1103 til Frankrike og om sommeren til Gibraltar og Roma hvor han døde. ------------------------------------- NORSK BIOGRAFISK LEKSIKON Skofte Ogmundsson, født 1040, død 1103, dødssted Roma, nøyaktig fødselsår og fødested er ikke kjent. Lendmann. Foreldre: Ogmund Torbergsson; morens navn er ikke kjent. Gift med Gudrun Tordsdatter, datter av Olav den helliges merkesmann Tord Folesson. Sønnesønn av Torberg Arnesson (død ca. 1050); muligens dattersønns sønn av Erling Skjalgsson (død 1027); grandnevø (brorsønns sønn) av Kalv Arnesson (død ca. 1051) og Finn Arnesson (død ca. 1065); fetter av kong Olav 3 Haraldsson Kyrre (ca. 1050–1093); far til Ragnhild Skoftesdatter; morfar til Gregorius Dagsson (død 1161); farfars morfar til Skule Bårdsson (død 1240). Skofte hørte til en av de aller fremste ættene i landet, Arnmødlingene eller Arnungene, som hadde storgården Giske på Sunnmøre som sitt hovedsete. Farfaren var Torberg Arneson, som var gift med Erling Skjalgssons datter Ragnhild (det er likevel usikkert om hun var Skoftes farmor). Skoftes faster Tora var Harald Hardrådes frille i et fast forhold og mor til kongens barn. Gjennom dette var Skofte søskenbarn til kong Olav Kyrre. Den nære forbindelsen til kongehuset gjorde det naturlig for forfatterne av kongesagaene i det minste å nevne Skofte, selv om de ellers ikke hadde mye å fortelle om ham. Han hadde tittel av lendmann, en stilling som både innebar en nær tilknytning til kongen og posisjon som lokal stormann på Nordvestlandet. Skofte var antakelig noen år eldre enn Olav Kyrre, men er ikke omtalt i forbindelse med Olavs langvarige regjering. Det skyldes nok først og fremst at kongesagaene har svært lite å fortelle om Olav, siden kongedømmet hans var så fredelig og udramatisk. Sønnen og etterfølgeren Magnus Berrføtt drog derimot på flere krigstog de ti årene han var konge, så vel til Skottland og Irland som inn på svensk område. I slike forbindelser var lendmennene viktige, og Skofte og sønnene hans er i de fleste sagaene tatt med i oppregningen av hvilke stormenn som var med kongen. Men noe ut over det at navnene er nevnt, står ikke. Bare Snorre forteller om en bitter konflikt som utviklet seg 1101 mellom kong Magnus på den ene siden og Skofte og sønnene hans på den andre. Uenigheten dreide seg om en arv Skofte hadde mottatt, og som kongen gjorde krav på. Magnus viste seg helt ubøyelig i denne konflikten – også etter at Finn, Skoftes sønn, hadde bedt kongen om å gi etter. Det skinner igjennom hos Snorre at dette var så mye mer kritikkverdig som Finn året før hadde reddet kongens liv under et tilbaketog i Sverige, med stor fare for sitt eget liv. Som følge av konflikten erklærte Skofte seg løst fra kongens tjeneste. Sammen med sønnene Finn, Ogmund og Tord forlot han landet høsten 1102, for i Det hellige land å slutte seg til korstoget der. Dette er de første norske korsfarerne vi vet om. De overvintret i Flandern og seilte sommeren 1103 inn i Middelhavet. Skofte ble imidlertid syk og døde i Roma. Snorre sier at også sønnene hans døde på denne ferden, og at de andre som var med, så kom tilbake til Norge senhøstes 1103 – “noen fra Jerusalem, andre fra Miklagard” (Konstantinopel). Snorre hadde som sagt ingen skriftlige forelegg for denne beretningen, og hele konflikten er sett i et sterkt kongekritisk perspektiv. Det er grunn til å tro at Snorre bygde på muntlig tradisjon, som han ble kjent med under besøk i Norge. En rimelig gjetning er at hjemmelsmannen var Snorres venn, hertug Skule; Skules farfar var dattersønn av Skofte. Dette betyr i så fall at Snorre gjenforteller det som ble fortalt i Giskeætten. Skoftes yngste sønn Pål overtok Giske etter faren. Kilder og litteratur * HKr. * NFH, bd. 2, 1855 * H. Koht: biografi i NBL1, bd. 13, 1958 ------------------------------------- Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Magnus Berrføtts saga: «11. ... Skofte, sønn til Ogmund Torbergsson, var en gjev lendmann. Han bodde på Giske på Sunnmøre; han var gift med Gudrun, datter til Tord Folesson. Deres barn var Ogmund, Finn, Tord og Tora, som var gift med Åsolv Skulesson. Sønnene til Skofte lovte godt i ungdommen.» «17. Skofte Ogmundsson ble uforlikt med kong Magnus; de trettet om arven etter en mann som var død. Skofte hadde den, og kongen krevde den så hardt og trått at det så stygt ut. Det ble holdt mange møter om denne saken, og Skofte avgjorde at han og sønnene aldri på én gang skulle være i kongens vold; han sa at da var de tryggest. Da Skofte var hos kongen, minte han om det nære frendskap som var mellom ham og kongen, og det med at Skofte støtt hadde vært god venn til kongen, og at det aldri hadde vært noe skifte i deres vennskap. Han sa det at det var klart han var såpass klok, at, sier han, «jeg ikke vil trette med deg om den saken, konge, dersom jeg har urett. Men i det slekter jeg på foreldrene mine at jeg holder på min rett mot hver mann, og i det gjør jeg ingen forskjell på folk.» Kongen holdt på sitt, og han ble ikke mjukere i sinn ved slike taler. Skofte reiste hjem.» «18. Siden kom Finn til kongen og talte med ham og ba ham om at han skulle la ham og hans far få rett i denne saken. Kongen svarte bare sint og stutt. Da sa Finn: «Annet ventet jeg av Dem, konge, enn at De ville nekte meg lov og rett den gang jeg ble sittende på Kvaldensøy, og få av de andre vennene Deres ville, men sa som sant var, at de som satt der, var solgt og dødsdømt, om ikke kong Inge skulle ha vist større høvdingskap mot oss en du hadde vist omtanke for oss. Likevel vil mange synes at vi bar skam derifra, om det var noe å bry seg om.» Kongen ble ikke mer medgjørlig ved slike taler, og Finn reiste hjem.» «19. Da kom Ogmund Skoftesson til kongen. Da han kom inn til kongen, sa han ærendet sitt og ba kongen gjøre rett og skjel mot dem og deres far. Kongen svarte at det var rett som han sa, og at de var urimelig djerve. Da sa Ogmund: «Du kan få det til, konge, å gjøre oss urett, for du har makten; her vil det sanne seg det som blir sagt, at de fleste som får sitt liv i gave, lønner enten ille eller slett ikke. Det vil jeg også ha sagt deg at aldri skal jeg komme i din tjeneste mer, og heller ikke far min eller noen av brødrende mine, dersom jeg får rå.» Så tok Ogmund hjem, og de så hverandre aldri mer, han og kong Magnus.» «20. Våren etter gjorde Skofte Ogmundsson seg ferdig til å fare bort fra landet. Han hadde fem langskip, som alle var vel utrustet. Sønnene hans, Ogmund, Find og Tord, ble med på ferden. De ble temmelig sent ferdige; om høsten seilte de til Flæmingeland (Flandern) og var der om vinteren. Tidlig om våren seilte de vest til Valland (Frankrike), og om sommeren seilte de ut gjennom Norvasund (Gibraltar-stredet) og om høsten til Romaborg. Der døde Skofte; alle sønnene døde også på denne ferden. Tord levde lengst av dem; han døde på Sikiløy (Sicilia). Det sier folk at Skofte har seilt gjennom Norvasund først av alle nordmenn; denne ferd ble kjent vidt og bredt.» 1 1. Snorre Sturlasson: Magnus Berrføtts saga, avsnitt 11-20.

Bent og Vidar Billing Hansen: Rosensverdslektens forfedre, side 17. -------------------- Skofte Ogmundsson ble neste eier av Giske (etter Eystein Orre), brorsønn av Eystein Orre. Han var også fetter av kong Olav Kyrre, sønn av Harald Hardråde. Dette nære slektskapet bidrog nok at den allerede mektige ætten ble enda mektigere. Men selv om det var nært slektskap mellom ætten på Giske og kongeætten var kong Magnus Barfot, sønn av Olav Kyrre, uvennlig mot sine slektninger. Og det selv om sønnene til Skofte, Ogmund og Finn, hadde gjort store offer for sin konge. Vennskapet ble ikke noe bedre da Magnus tok til seg en arv som rettmessig skulle ha tilfalt Skofte. Kongen var hissig, og det ble nesten åpen kamp. Etter det ble Skofte og sønnene enige om ikke å møte kongen samlet, de frykt da for at han kunne gjøre ende på alle samtidig. En etter en reiste de så til Magnus, minnet han på det nære slektskapet og med hvilken oppofrelse de hadde tjent ham. Ingen ting hjalp, og det eneste de kunne gjøre for å berge liv og eiendom på var å rømme fra landet. For å skjule flukten og berge æren la Skofte og sønnene Finn, Ogmund og Tord ut på korstog. Det sies at Skofte, sønnene og de mennene som fulgte dem var de første nordmenn som dro ut på korstog. Underveis døde både Skofte og sønnene, men mennene som fulgte med på ferden gjennomførte korstoget. -------------------- Lendermann.

I 1066 var han lendermann og omtales etter Olav Kyrres død i 1093 som en eldre mann. Hans sønner var da voksne og han hadde i lengre tid bodd på familiesetet Giske. Han deltok i kong Magnus Barfots store ferd til Orknøyene i 1098. I 1101-1102 hadde han en alvorlig tvist med sin frende Magnus Barfot om noe dannefæ som begge tilegnet seg. Retten synes å ha vært på Skoftes side, men Magnus ville ikke gi seg. Skofte seilte derfor fra landet i 1102 med 5 velutrustede skip sammen med sine 3 sønner, Finn, Agmunn og Tord. De dro til Flandern, våren 1103 til Frankrike og om sommeren til Gibraltar og Roma hvor han døde. Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Magnus Berrføtts saga: «11. ... Skofte, sønn til Ogmund Torbergsson, var en gjev lendmann. Han bodde på Giske på Sunnmøre; han var gift med Gudrun, datter til Tord Folesson. Deres barn var Ogmund, Finn, Tord og Tora, som var gift med Åsolv Skulesson. Sønnene til Skofte lovte godt i ungdommen.» «17. Skofte Ogmundsson ble uforlikt med kong Magnus; de trettet om arven etter en mann som var død. Skofte hadde den, og kongen krevde den så hardt og trått at det så stygt ut. Det ble holdt mange møter om denne saken, og Skofte avgjorde at han og sønnene aldri på én gang skulle være i kongens vold; han sa at da var de tryggest. Da Skofte var hos kongen, minte han om det nære frendskap som var mellom ham og kongen, og det med at Skofte støtt hadde vært god venn til kongen, og at det aldri hadde vært noe skifte i deres vennskap. Han sa det at det var klart han var såpass klok, at, sier han, «jeg ikke vil trette med deg om den saken, konge, dersom jeg har urett. Men i det slekter jeg på foreldrene mine at jeg holder på min rett mot hver mann, og i det gjør jeg ingen forskjell på folk.» Kongen holdt på sitt, og han ble ikke mjukere i sinn ved slike taler. Skofte reiste hjem.» «18. Siden kom Finn til kongen og talte med ham og ba ham om at han skulle la ham og hans far få rett i denne saken. Kongen svarte bare sint og stutt. Da sa Finn: «Annet ventet jeg av Dem, konge, enn at De ville nekte meg lov og rett den gang jeg ble sittende på Kvaldensøy, og få av de andre vennene Deres ville, men sa som sant var, at de som satt der, var solgt og dødsdømt, om ikke kong Inge skulle ha vist større høvdingskap mot oss en du hadde vist omtanke for oss. Likevel vil mange synes at vi bar skam derifra, om det var noe å bry seg om.» Kongen ble ikke mer medgjørlig ved slike taler, og Finn reiste hjem.» «19. Da kom Ogmund Skoftesson til kongen. Da han kom inn til kongen, sa han ærendet sitt og ba kongen gjøre rett og skjel mot dem og deres far. Kongen svarte at det var rett som han sa, og at de var urimelig djerve. Da sa Ogmund: «Du kan få det til, konge, å gjøre oss urett, for du har makten; her vil det sanne seg det som blir sagt, at de fleste som får sitt liv i gave, lønner enten ille eller slett ikke. Det vil jeg også ha sagt deg at aldri skal jeg komme i din tjeneste mer, og heller ikke far min eller noen av brødrende mine, dersom jeg får rå.» Så tok Ogmund hjem, og de så hverandre aldri mer, han og kong Magnus.» «20. Våren etter gjorde Skofte Ogmundsson seg ferdig til å fare bort fra landet. Han hadde fem langskip, som alle var vel utrustet. Sønnene hans, Ogmund, Find og Tord, ble med på ferden. De ble temmelig sent ferdige; om høsten seilte de til Flæmingeland (Flandern) og var der om vinteren. Tidlig om våren seilte de vest til Valland (Frankrike), og om sommeren seilte de ut gjennom Norvasund (Gibraltar-stredet) og om høsten til Romaborg. Der døde Skofte; alle sønnene døde også på denne ferden. Tord levde lengst av dem; han døde på Sikiløy (Sicilia). Det sier folk at Skofte har seilt gjennom Norvasund først av alle nordmenn; denne ferd ble kjent vidt og bredt.» 1 1. Snorre Sturlasson: Magnus Berrføtts saga, avsnitt 11-20.

| 154 | About Sogneprest i Herøy Erik Knutsen Erik Knutsen, Sogneprest i Herøy og prost på Sunnmøre. Han var far til Maren Eriksdatter som var gift med Claus Corneliussen, og det var derfor spekulert i om han også var far til Claus' andre kone Karen Eriksdatter. Erik var derfor morfar til Jens Clausen Parelius og Hans Clausen Gaas. På grunn av Gaas-navnet er det blitt spekulert i om Erik var i slekt med Hans Gaas, d.y., den første evangeliske superintendent i Trondheim. Claus Corneliussen var gift to gangar, først med ei Maren Eriksdatter, sidan med hustru Karen Eriksdatter; ingen av dei er kalt Gaas. Med Maren hadde han melom anna sonen Jens Claussen Parelius (1585-1667), sokneprest i Stjørdal. Herr Jens opplyste sjølv at mora var datter av Erik Knutson, sokneprest i Herøy og prost på Sunmøre (Herøy var kannikgjeld, og Erik Knutson var trulig kannik). Kona til Erik Knutson kan godt ha vore ei datter av Hans Gaas. Sosialt og kronologisk kan dette gå, men det som samtidig styrkar denne tanken er at Maren Eriksdatter også var mor til Hans Claussen Gaas (1599-1644), sokneprest i Borgund. Hans Claussen Gaas hadde også m.a broren Erik Claussen som blei kalt Gaas. Erik var prest, men blei fradømt kappe og krage seinast 1622.

| 157 | About Svegdi Fjolnarsson, King in Uppsala Alt birth date: 281 http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svegder Sveigder eller Swegde var enligt legenden kung av Svitjod. Han ska ha efterträtt sin far Fjölner efter dennes död någon gång kring eller strax efter Kristi födelse och tillhörde Ynglingaätten. Enligt Heimskringla var han gift med Vana av Vanahem. Svegder sökte liksom Gylfe efter Asgård och Oden, men han blev dock bergtagen i en sten någonstans i Ryssland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveigdir Sveigðir, Sveigder or Swegde was a Swedish king of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. He was the son of Fjölner, whom he succeeded as king, and he married Vana of Vanaheim, probably one of the Vanir. Lured by a dwarf, Sveigðir disappeared into a stone and never came back. He was succeeded by his son Vanlandi. Snorri Sturluson wrote of Sveigðir in his Ynglinga saga (1225): Svegðir tók ríki eptir föður sinn; hann strengði þess heit at leita Goðheims ok Óðins hins gamla. Hann fór með 12 menn víða um heiminn, hann kom út í Tyrkland ok í Svíþjóð hina miklu ok hitti þar marga frændr sína ok vini, ok var í þeirri för 5 vetr. Þá kom hann aptr til Svíþjóðar, dvaldist hann þá enn heima um hríð. Hann hafði fengit konu þá er Vana hét út í Vanaheimi; var þeirra son Vanlandi. Svegðir fór enn at leita Goðheims. Ok í austanverðri Svíþjóð heitir bœr mikill at Steini, þar er steinn svá mikill sem stór hús. Um kveldit eptir sólarfall, þá er Svegðir gékk frá drykkju til svefnbúrs, sá hann til steinsins, at dvergr sat undir steininum. Svegðir ok hans menn váru mjök druknir ok runnu til steinsins. Dvergrinn stóð í durum ok kallaði á Sveigði, bað hann þar inn ganga, ef hann vildi Óðin hitta. Svegðir hljóp í steininn; en steinninn laukst þegar aptr, ok kom Svegðir eigi aptr.[1][2] Swegde took the kingdom after his father, and he made a solemn vow to seek Godheim and Odin. He went with twelve men through the world, and came to Turkland, and the Great Svithiod, where he found many of his connections. He was five years on this journey; and when he returned home to Sweden he remained there for some time. He had got a wife in Vanheim, who was called Vana, and their son was Vanlande. Swegde went out afterwards to seek again for Godheim, and came to a mansion on the east side of Swithiod called Stein, where there was a stone as big as a large house. In the evening after sunset, as Swegde was going from the drinking-table to his sleeping-room, he cast his eye upon the stone, and saw that a dwarf was sitting under it. Swegde and his man were very drunk, and they ran towards the stone. The dwarf stood in the door, and called to Swegde, and told him to come in, and he should see Odin. Swegde ran into the stone, which instantly closed behind him, and Swegde never came back.[3][4] Snorri also quoted some lines from Ynglingatal composed in the 9th century: En dagskjarr Dúrnis niðja salvörðuðr Sveigði vétti, þá er í stein enn stórgeði Dusla konr ept dvergi hljóp, ok salr bjartr þeira Sökmímis jötunbyggðr við jöfri gein.[5][6] By Diurnir's elfin race, Who haunt the cliffs and shun day's face, The valiant Swegde was deceived, The elf's false words the king believed.

Iste genuit Wanlanda [...][9] Frøy engendered Fjolne, who was drowned in a tun of mead.

Han angav ett löfte att han skulle leta efter Gudhem och Oden den gamle. Tillsammans med 12 män for han vida omkring i världen. Han kom till Turkland i det stora Svitjod och mötte där många i sin släkt. Han var på denna resa i fem vintrar och kom sedan till Svitjod och stannade hemma en tid. Han hade gift sig med kvinna som hette Vana i Vanhem och hade med henne sonen Vanlande. Sveigder for åter bort för att söka Gudhem. I den östra delen av Svitjod finns en stor gård som heter Stein. Där finns det en sten som är stor som ett hus. På kvällen efter solnedgången när Sveigder och hans män, mycket druckna, gick från dryckeslaget till sovhuset såg de att det satt en dvärg vid stenen och sprang dit. Dvärgen stod i dörren till stenen och ropade på Sveigder och bad honom komma in om han ville möta Oden. Sveigder sprang in och dörren stängdes efter honom och han kom aldrig ut igen. -------------------- Svegde etter Sveigde (Sveigdir) var ein mytisk konge av Ynglingeætta, son av Fjolne og far til Vanlande. Han er omtala i Ynglingesoga og i Den eldste Noregshistoria. Snorre Sturlason fortel at Svegde hadde svore ein eid på at han ville leite etter Godheim og gamle Odin. Difor reiste han ute med tolv mann i fem år, men for så heimatt til Svitjod og ekta ei kvinne frå Vanaheim, som var kalla Vana. Sonen deira var Vanlande. Sidan for Svegde utatt på leit etter Godheim. Ein kveld kom han til ein gard som heitte Stein, der det låg ein stein i tunet, stor som eit hus. Om kvelden var Svegde drukken, og mennene hans med. Då såg dei det sat ein dverg under steinen. Dvergen kalla på Svegde og sa at døra attom var vegen inn til Odin og Godheim. Svegde sprang inn i steinen, og steinen let seg att. Svegde vart aldri meir sett. Ynglingatal fortel: Svegde han sveik, som i svali heldt vakt, den dagrædde for Durins ætt. Inn i steinen den storlynde åsa-frenden flaug etter dvergen, og Sokmimes sal den lysande, av jotunar bygd, vart gjevings grav. Durin og Sokmime er dvergenamn, som og kan finnast i Dvergatal (ein lut av Voluspå). Dvergen vaktar her døra mellom denne verda og den neste (daudedøra). Den eldste Noregshistoria fortel berre at Svegde følgde dvergen inn i eit berg, og seier beintfram at dette nok lyt takast for eit eventyr. Tilvisinga til Odin er elles tydeleg nok. Odin er og draugedrott (gud for dei daude).

Thiodolf of Kvine tells of this: -- "By Diurnir's elfin race, Who haunt the cliffs and shun day's face, The valiant Swegde was deceived, The elf's false words the king believed. The dauntless hero rushing on, Passed through the yawning mouth of stone: It yawned -- it shut -- the hero fell, In Saekmime's hall, where giants dwell." The Saga tells of his strange demise, also in a state of drunken-ness like his father. One night when Svegde and his men had been drinking excessively and were about to retire for the night, Svegde looked out and saw a large stone with a dwarf sitting under it. He rushed to the stone where the dwarf opened a door and urged Svegde to enter in order that he could see Odin.

Там имало скала, огромна като къща. Един ден, след залез слънце, Свейгдир излязъл от някакво пиршество, за да се приготвя за сън. Под скалата срещу тях съзряли джудже. Свейгдир и свитата му били много пияни и се затичали към скалата. Джуджето стояло в отвора на скалата и казало на Свейгдир, че ако иска да види Один, трябвало да влезе в камъка. Свейгдир влезнал, скалата се затворила след него и никога повече не излязъл. -------------------- Sveigder tog över makten efter sin far Fjölner. Han angav ett löfte att han skulle leta efter Gudhem och Oden den gamle. Tillsammans med 12 män for han vida omkring i världen. Han kom till Turkland i det stora Svitjod och mötte där många i sin släkt. Han var på denna resa i fem vintrar och kom sedan till Svitjod och stannade hemma en tid. Han hade gift sig med kvinna som hette Vana i Vanhem och hade med henne sonen Vanlande. Sveigder for åter bort för att söka Gudhem. I den östra delen av Svitjod finns en stor gård som heter Stein. Där finns det en sten som är stor som ett hus. På kvällen efter solnedgången när Sveigder och hans män, mycket druckna, gick från dryckeslaget till sovhuset såg de att det satt en dvärg vid stenen och sprang dit. Dvärgen stod i dörren till stenen och ropade på Sveigder och bad honom komma in om han ville möta Oden. Sveigder sprang in och dörren stängdes efter honom och han kom aldrig ut igen. -------------------- Svegde etter Sveigde (Sveigdir) var ein mytisk konge av Ynglingeætta, son av Fjolne og far til Vanlande. Han er omtala i Ynglingesoga og i Den eldste Noregshistoria. Snorre Sturlason fortel at Svegde hadde svore ein eid på at han ville leite etter Godheim og gamle Odin. Difor reiste han ute med tolv mann i fem år, men for så heimatt til Svitjod og ekta ei kvinne frå Vanaheim, som var kalla Vana. Sonen deira var Vanlande. Sidan for Svegde utatt på leit etter Godheim. Ein kveld kom han til ein gard som heitte Stein, der det låg ein stein i tunet, stor som eit hus. Om kvelden var Svegde drukken, og mennene hans med. Då såg dei det sat ein dverg under steinen. Dvergen kalla på Svegde og sa at døra attom var vegen inn til Odin og Godheim. Svegde sprang inn i steinen, og steinen let seg att. Svegde vart aldri meir sett. Ynglingatal fortel: Svegde han sveik, som i svali heldt vakt, den dagrædde for Durins ætt. Inn i steinen den storlynde åsa-frenden flaug etter dvergen, og Sokmimes sal den lysande, av jotunar bygd, vart gjevings grav. Durin og Sokmime er dvergenamn, som og kan finnast i Dvergatal (ein lut av Voluspå). Dvergen vaktar her døra mellom denne verda og den neste (daudedøra). Den eldste Noregshistoria fortel berre at Svegde følgde dvergen inn i eit berg, og seier beintfram at dette nok lyt takast for eit eventyr. Tilvisinga til Odin er elles tydeleg nok. Odin er og draugedrott (gud for dei daude).

He was the son of Fjölner, whom he succeeded as king, and he married Vana of Vanaheimr, probably one of the Vanir. Lured by a dwarf, Sveigðir disappeared into a stone and never came back. He was succeeded by his son Vanlandi.' -------------------- Svegdi took the kingdom after his father, and he made a solemn vow to seek Godheim and Odin. He went with twelve men through the world, and came to Turkland, and the Great Svithiod, where he found many of his connections. He was five years on this journey; and when he returned home to Sweden he remained there for some time. He had got a wife in Vanheim, who was called Vana, and their son was Vanlande. Svegdi went out afterwards to seek again for Godheim, and came to a mansion on the east side of Swithiod called Stein, where there was a stone as big as a large house. In the evening after sunset, as Svegdi was going from the drinking-table to his sleeping-room, he cast his eye upon the stone, and saw that a dwarf was sitting under it. Svegdi and his man were very drunk, and they ran towards the stone. The dwarf stood in the door, and called to Svegdi, and told him to come in, and he should see Odin. Svegdi ran into the stone, which instantly closed behind him, and Swegdi never came back. Thiodolf of Kvine tells of this: -- "By Diurnir's elfin race, Who haunt the cliffs and shun day's face, The valiant Swegde was deceived, The elf's false words the king believed. The dauntless hero rushing on, Passed through the yawning mouth of stone: It yawned -- it shut -- the hero fell, In Saekmime's hall, where giants dwell." The Saga tells of his strange demise, also in a state of drunken-ness like his father. One night when Svegde and his men had been drinking excessively and were about to retire for the night, Svegde looked out and saw a large stone with a dwarf sitting under it. He rushed to the stone where the dwarf opened a door and urged Svegde to enter in order that he could see Odin.

He was succeeded by his son Vanlandi. Attestations Snorri Sturluson wrote of Sveigðir in his Ynglinga saga (1225): Svegðir tók ríki eptir föður sinn; hann strengði þess heit at leita Goðheims ok Óðins hins gamla. Hann fór með 12 menn víða um heiminn, hann kom út í Tyrkland ok í Svíþjóð hina miklu ok hitti þar marga frændr sína ok vini, ok var í þeirri för 5 vetr. Þá kom hann aptr til Svíþjóðar, dvaldist hann þá enn heima um hríð. Hann hafði fengit konu þá er Vana hét út í Vanaheimi; var þeirra son Vanlandi. Svegðir fór enn at leita Goðheims. Ok í austanverðri Svíþjóð heitir bœr mikill at Steini, þar er steinn svá mikill sem stór hús. Um kveldit eptir sólarfall, þá er Svegðir gékk frá drykkju til svefnbúrs, sá hann til steinsins, at dvergr sat undir steininum. Svegðir ok hans menn váru mjök druknir ok runnu til steinsins. Dvergrinn stóð í durum ok kallaði á Sveigði, bað hann þar inn ganga, ef hann vildi Óðin hitta. Svegðir hljóp í steininn; en steinninn laukst þegar aptr, ok kom Svegðir eigi aptr.[2][3] Swegde took the kingdom after his father, and he made a solemn vow to seek Godheim and Odin. He went with twelve men through the world, and came to Turkland, and the Great Svithiod, where he found many of his connections. He was five years on this journey; and when he returned home to Sweden he remained there for some time. He had got a wife in Vanheim, who was called Vana, and their son was Vanlande.

Swegde ran into the stone, which instantly closed behind him, and Swegde never came back.[4][5] Snorri also quoted some lines from Ynglingatal composed in the 9th century: En dagskjarr Dúrnis niðja salvörðuðr Sveigði vétti, þá er í stein enn stórgeði Dusla konr ept dvergi hljóp, ok salr bjartr þeira Sökmímis jötunbyggðr við jöfri gein.[2][3] By Diurnir's elfin race, Who haunt the cliffs and shun day's face, The valiant Swegde was deceived, The elf's false words the king believed. The dauntless hero rushing on, Passed through the yawning mouth of stone: It yawned – it shut – the hero fell, In Saekmime's hall, where giants dwell.[4][6] The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal written in the late 12th century and consequently older than Snorri's quotation: Froyr vero genuit Fiolni, qui in dolio medonis dimersus est, cujus filius Swegthir nanum in petram persequitur nec redisse dicitur, quod pro certo fabulosum creditur. Iste genuit Wanlanda [...][7] Frøy engendered Fjolne, who was drowned in a tun of mead. His son, Sveigde, is supposed to have pursuded a dwarf into a stone and never to have returned, but this is plainly to be taken as a fairy-tale. He sired Vanlande, [...][8] The even earlier source Íslendingabók from the early 12th century, cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and also gives Svegðir as the successor of Fjölnir and the predecessor of Vanlandi: iiii Fjölnir. sá er dó at Friðfróða. v Svegðir. vi Vanlandi[9]. -------------------- 3.

Fra ham nedstammer den såkalte Arnunge-ætt. GISKE ligger i Giske kommune, Møre og Romsdal. Beliggenheten er på vestsiden av øya Giske. Dette var blant de eldste herregårdene i Norge. Og her hadde den mektige Giske-ætten, også kalt Arnung- eller Arnmødlig-ætten, sitt utspring. Helt fra 900-tallet og fram til 1582 kan en ubrutt ættelinje følges. Ættens opprinnelse er omspunnet med sagn. Stamfaren, Finnvid Funnen, skal ifølge Arnungatal ha blitt funnet i et ørnereir innsvøpt i silke. Noen av etterkommerne hadde ledd som -arin og -arn i navnene, noe som rett og slett betyr ørn. Den første av denne ætten som en vet bodde på Giske var Torberg Arnesson, bror av Kalv Arnesson på Egge og Finn Arnesson på Austrått. De var etterkommere i 6. ledd etter Finnvid. | Finnvidsson av Møre, Thorarinn "Bullibak" (I1251)

Han hadde hatt fire sønner; den ene var Torleiv Spake, den andre Ogmund, far til Torolv Skjalg som var far til Erling på Sola; den tredje var Tord, far til Klypp herse, som drepte Sigurd Sleva Gunnhildson; den fjerde var Olmod, far til Askjel, far til Aslak Fitjaskalle. Det var den største og gjeveste ætten på Hordaland." Skjalg betyr antagelig "skjeløyd". I boken om historieskriveren Torfus (http://www.erlingskjalgssonselskapet.com/downloads/Torfus_(screen).pdf) finner vi "Tåtten om Torolv Skjalg, Ragnvald og Raud", som skal være hentet fra Flateyarbok. Der står det at han ble innebrent av Ragnvald, sønn til Lodin på Ærvik ved Stad, fordi han, visstnok med rette, ble beskylt for å ha drept Lodin på forræderiskt vis. Toralvs sønn, Erling, må da ha vært et barn.

Han ble i 1025 lendmann på Møre hvor han ble etterfulgt av sin sønn, Øystein Orre. Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Olav den helliges saga: (Etter striden mellom Ragnhild og Torberg om Stein Skaftesson). «138. ... Etter jul kom det sendemenn fra kongen til Torberg med bud om at han skulle komme til kongen før midfaste, og med strengt pålegg om å følge budet. Torberg forela det for vennene sine og ba om råd om han skulle våge så mye som å reise til kongen slik som saken sto, og det var mange som rådde ham fra det, og sa det var tryggere å se til å bli av med Stein først og så gå i kongens makt. Torberg hadde mest lyst til å ikke utsette det med reisen. Litt senere dro Torberg til sin bror Finn og forela saken for ham og ba ham følge med seg. Finn svarte, han sa at han syntes det var fælt å la seg kue av kvinnfolk slik at han ikke torde holde ord mot sin herre for sin kone. «Du kan jo la være å komme om du ikke vil,» sa Torberg, «men jeg tror nå at du lar være mer av redsel enn av troskap mot kongen.» De skiltes i sinne. Så dro Torberg til Arne Arnesson, bror sin, og fortalte ham hvordan saken sto, og ba ham følge med seg til kongen. Arne sa: «Det er underlig med deg, synes jeg, så klok mann som du er, og så omtenksom, at du skal ha styrtet deg ut i en slik ulykke og fått kongens unåde over deg når det ikke var noen nødvendighet for det. Det kunne enda vært en unnskyldning om det hadde vært din frende du tok deg av eller en fosterbror, men det er ingen mening i slikt, å ta seg av en islending og ha hos seg en mann som kongen har gjort fredløs; og nå vil du sette både deg selv og alle dine frender på spill.» Torberg sa: «Det er som de sier at én er det som vanslekter i hver ætt. Den ulykke far hadde, ser jeg nå helt klart, han var uheldig med sønnene sine, siden han til slutt skulle få en som ikke har noen likhet med ætten vår, men er uten tiltak. Om jeg ikke syntes det var skam å si slikt om min mor, så skulle jeg sannelig aldri kalle deg vår bror.» Så snudde Torberg seg og gikk, han dro hjem og var nokså ute av seg. Etterpå sendte han bud nord i Trondheimen til Kalv, bror sin, og ba ham komme og møte seg ved Agdenes. Og da sendemennene kom til Kalv, lovte han å komme og sa ikke et ord imot. Ragnhild sendte noen menn øst på Jæren til sin far Erling og ba ham sende hjelp til henne. Derfra kom da Erlings sønner, Sigurd og Tore, og hver av dem hadde en tjuesesse med nitti mann ombord. Da de kom nord til Torberg, tok han imot dem på det beste og med stor glede. Så rustet han seg til reisen, og Torberg hadde også en tjuesesse. De dro i vei nordover. Da de kom til Trondheims Minne så lå alt Finn og Arne der, brødrene til Torberg, med to tjuesesser. Torberg hilste glad på brødrene sine, og sa at bryningen hadde nok bitt på dem. Finn sa at det var ikke ofte det trengtes med ham. Så seilte de med hele denne flåten til Trondheimen, og Stein var med dem ennå. Og da de kom til Agdenes, lå Kalv Arnesson og ventet, og han hadde en tjuesesse med godt mannskap. Med denne flåten seilte de inn til Nidarholm og lå der natten over. Morgenen etter hadde de en samtale med hverandre; Kalv og sønnene til Erling ville at de skulle seile inn til byen med hele flåten og så la lykken rå, men Torberg ville at de først skulle fare varsomt og komme med tilbud, det var Finn og Arne enige i. Så ble det avgjort slik at Finn og Arne dro til kong Olav først og hadde få menn med. Kongen hadde fått høre hvor mannsterke de var, og han var nokså sint da han talte med dem. Finn gjorde tilbud for Torberg og for Stein, han tilbød at kongen skulle dømme så store pengebøter han ville, men Torberg skulle få lov å bli i landet og få ha veitslene sine, Stein skulle ha fred på liv og lemmer. Kongen sa: «For meg ser det ut som dere har stelt det slik at dere nå mener dere rår halvt med meg eller mer. Det var det siste jeg hadde ventet av dere brødre at dere skulle gå mot meg med en hær; jeg kan merke på denne planen at det er disse jærbuene som har satt den i verk. Men dere trenger ikke å by meg penger.» Da sa Finn: «Vi brødre har ikke samlet hær av den grunn at vi vil by Dem ufred, konge. Det er tvert imot slik at vi vil by Dem vår tjeneste først. Men om De nekter og tenker å la Torberg li noen overlast, da vil vi dra med hele den hæren vi har, til Knut den mektige.» Da så kongen på ham og sa: «Om dere brødre vil sverge en ed til meg på det at dere skal følge meg innenlands og utenlands og ikke skilles fra meg uten at jeg gir samtykke til det, og ikke dølge det for meg om dere får vite om svikråd mot meg, da skal jeg ta imot forlik av dere brødrene.» Så dro Finn tilbake til hæren og sa hva for et valg kongen hadde gitt dem. Nå sa hver sin mening; Torberg sa at han for sin part vile ta imot dette vilkåret; «jeg har ingen lyst til å rømme fra eiendommene mine og reise til utenlandske høvdinger,» sa han. «Jeg mener det alltid vil være til ære for meg å følge kong Olav og være der han er.» Da sa Kalv: «Jeg vil ikke avlegge noen ed til kongen, og jeg vil bare være hos kongen så lenge jeg får ha veitslene mine og de andre verdighetene, og så lenge kongen vil være min venn. Og det er mitt ønske at vi alle sammen skal gjøre det slik.» Finn svarte: «Jeg vil rå til det at vi lar kong Olav rå alene i tretten mellom oss.» Arne Arnesson sa som så: «Om jeg var ferdig til å følge deg, Torberg, enda du ville kjempe mot kongen, da skal jeg ikke skilles fra deg nå, dersom du velger en bedre vei. Jeg vil følge deg og Finn og velge det vilkåret dere synes er best for dere.» Så gikk de tre brødrene, Torberg, Finn og Arne, ombord på ett skip, og rodde inn til byen, og så gikk de til kongen. Forliket kom i stand, og brødrene avla ed til kongen. Så prøvde Torberg å få forlik med kongen for Stein, og kongen sa at Stein kunne få fare i fred hvor han ville for ham. «Men hos meg kan han ikke være mer,» sa han. Kalv tok inn på Egge, og Finn dro til kongen, men Torberg og resten av hæren deres reiste hjem sørover. Stein fulgte med Erlings sønner sørover; tidlig på våren dro han vestover til England og så til kong Knut den mektige og ble hos ham lenge og var velsett der.» Under slaget ved Stiklestad etter at kong Olav hadde falt: «231. Kalv Arnesson lette etter brødrene sine som hadde falt der. Han fant Torberg og Finn, og folk sier at Finn kastet et sverd etter ham og ville drepe ham og talte harde ord til ham og kalte ham en niding som hadde sveket sin konge. Kalv brrydde seg ikke om det og lot bære Finn bort fra valplassen, og likeså Torberg. Så ble sårene deres ettersett, og de hadde ingen farlige sår. De hadde falt om av tretthet under alle de våpen som ble brukt på dem. Så sørget Kalv for å få flyttet brødrene sine ned til skipet og fulgte selv med dem. Straks han var borte, dro også hele den bondehæren bort som hadde hjemme der i nærheten, unntagen de som hadde sårede frender og venner å stelle med eller tok seg av likene etter dem som hadde falt. De som var såret, ble flyttet inn på gården, så der var hvert hus fullt av dem, og det var slått telt ute over noen. Men så merkelig mange folk det hadde samlet seg til bondehæren, så syntes folk ikke det var mindre rart hvor fort samlingen gikk fra hverandre, da den først tok til med det. Det kom mest av det at størsteparten av hæren hadde samlet seg fra bygdene der omkring, og disse folkene ville svært gjerne hjem igjen.» «242. Finn Arnesson ble ikke lenge hos Kalv på Egge, for han kunne slett ikke glemme at Kalv hadde vært med i slaget mot kong Olav. Finn kom stadig med harde ord til Kalv av den grunn. Torberg Arnesson styrte ordene sine mye bedre enn Finn. Likevel lengtet Torberg også etter å komme bort og hjem til gården sin. Kalv ga brødrene sine et godt langskip med all slags redskap og annet utstyr og godt følge. Så reiste de hjem til gårdene sine. Arne Arnesson lå lenge av sårene, men ble helt bra og fikk ingen men av det. Han reiste sørover til gården sin senere på vinteren. Alle brødrene fikk fred med kong Svein og slo seg til ro hjemme.» Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Harald Hardrådes saga: «33. Kong Harald giftet seg med Tora, datter til Torberg Arnesson vinteren etter at kong Magnus den gode var død. De hadde to sønner; den eldste het Magnus og den andre Olav. Kong Harald og dronning Ellisiv hadde to døtre; den ene het Maria, den andre Ingegjerd. Våren etter den hærferd som vi nå har fortalt om, bød kong Harald ut en hær og reiste om sommeren til Danmark og herjet. Og det gjorde han sommer etter sommer. ...» Tekst: Tore Nygaard Kilder: Snorre Sturlasson: Olav den helliges saga, avsnitt 22, 110, 138, 231, 242; Harald Hardrådes saga, avsnitt 33.

Dette var blant de eldste herregårdene i Norge. Og her hadde den mektige Giske-ætten, også kalt Arnung- eller Arnmødlig-ætten, sitt utspring. Helt fra 900-tallet og fram til 1582 kan en ubrutt ættelinje følges. Ættens opprinnelse er omspunnet med sagn. Stamfaren, Finnvid Funnen, skal ifølge Arnungatal ha blitt funnet i et ørnereir innsvøpt i silke. Noen av etterkommerne hadde ledd som -arin og -arn i navnene, noe som rett og slett betyr ørn. Den første av denne ætten som en vet bodde på Giske var Torberg Arnesson, bror av Kalv Arnesson på Egge og Finn Arnesson på Austrått. De var etterkommere i 6. ledd etter Finnvid. Torberg var gift med Astrid, datter av den mektige hersen Erling Skjalgsson på Sola. I følge sagaen skulle Torberg vært både modig og trofast, men ikke så snarrådig og handlekraftig som sin bror Kalv. Det måtte gjerne være en annen som kunne ta avgjørelsen og gi ordren, først da kunne det handles. Særlig en episode viser dette klart. Astrid lå i fødsel. Det ble en hard fødsel, og vanlig jordmorhjelp strakk ikke til. I sin store nød ville Astrid ha hjelp av en prest, men det fantes ingen i nærheten. I havn like ved lå en islandsk høvdingsønn, Stein Skaftesson, med skipet sitt. Han hadde en ung islandsk prest som passasjer. Folk fra høvdingsetet kom ned og ville at presten skulle hjelpe den fødende kvinnen. Presten var ukjent med dette og ba seg unna, men sa seg likevel villig hvis Stein ble med for å hjelpe til. Slik ble det, de gikk så opp og hjalp til. Barnet, ei jente, ble forløst, og presten døpte henne. Stein ga i tillegg barnet en gullring. Astrid lovte da at om Stein noen gang kom i nød og fare så skulle han komme til henne, hun skulle hjelpe ham. Stein dro så til Nidaros for å treffe kong Olav. Kongen var ikke alltid den enkleste å blidgjøre, Stein er uvøren, og det kom til fiendeskap mellom dem. Etter dette ble Stein holdt tilbake i Nidaros mot sin vilje. Men en natt rømte han fra kaupangen bare til fots. Etterhvert kom han til Orkdalen. Der drap han kongens årmann, som nektet ham losji. Han tok deretter en hest som tilhørte årmannen, og reiste så videre mot Møre. For å skaffe seg skyss og losji ga Stein seg ut for å reise i ombud for kongen. En kveld kom han til Giske, og som ved forrige besøk var ikke Torberg hjemme. Astrid tok godt imot ham, og nå krevde han at hun skulle holde lovnaden sin. Stein fortalte så om fiendskapen med kongen, drapet, hestetyveriet, og de falske utsagnene om å reise i kongens ærend. Kong Olav hadde dessuten lyst ham i utlegg for dette. Astrid var ikke redd av seg, hun holdt fast ved det hun hadde lovet. Hun ba Stein bo hos seg, og hun stelte med han som en kjær gjest. I mellomtiden hadde Torberg fått høre hvordan Astrid hadde stelt seg hjemme på Giske. Som lendmann var hans oppgaver klare, han pliktet å fengsle drapsmannen Stein. Deretter skulle han føres til kongen for å få straffen sin. Torberg dro så hjem til Giske og fortalte Astrid hva han hadde tenkt å gjøre. Men da fikk han svar fra henne, enten skulle Stein ha fristed på Giske, eller så kom hun til å reise sin vei og ta med seg odelsgutten, Eystein Orre. Torberg ga etter for sin kones sterke vilje, og viste seg nå modig fordi andre hadde tatt avgjørelsen for ham. Han dro så til sin bror Finn og krevde hans hjelp, men ble hånet for det skjørteregimet som rådde på Giske. Så tok han veien til sin yngste bror Arne, men han var heller ikke lysten på å våge liv og gods for å hjelpe en fredløs islending. Deretter sendte han bud til Kalv om hjelp. Og som vanlig var han den rådsnare og så ja med en gang. I mellomtiden hadde Astrid sendt bud til sin far på Sola, og hennes brødre Sigurd og Tore ble sendt nordover til Giske med skip og væpnet mannskap. Det hadde nå gått opp for Finn og Arne at Kalv her hadde sett rett. Bare ved et ubrytelig samhold og uredd framgang kunne en berge ætten fra uføret Astrid hadde ført den opp i. Med seks skip og 540 mann dro de nå inn til Nidarholmen. I kaupangen ble det ordnet ting med kongen. Styrken ute på holmen var et argument som ikke var til å komme forbi, og Olav ga etter i hovedsaken at Stein måtte få fare i fred. Det vart så pyntet på kongens nederlag. Arnungbrødrene, utenom Kalv, svor lydighet og troskap til kongen for ettertida. Så gikk det noen år, og Olav Haraldsson måtte gjennomføre en ganske ydmykende flukt fra Norge. Med på denne rømningen fulgte brødrene Torberg, Finn og Arne. I halvannet år var Torberg rømling i Gardarike. I 1030 kom han sammen med Olav tilbake til Norge, og kjempet ved kongens side på Stiklestad. Etter dette ble ikke Torberg mye omtalt, og omkring 1050 må han ha vært død. Den neste som overtok Giske var antagelig Eystein Torbergsson Orre. (Torberg hørte til på øya Giske på Sunnmøre. Han tilhørte en ætt som ble kalt Arnmødlingene. Arnmødlingene tilhørte det som har vært kalt “Kystaristokratiet”, storhøvdinger som var bundet til hverandre ved giftemål og frendskap. Harald Hardrådes saga 45) -------------------- Lendermand på Møre -------------------- Thorberg Arneson var ein god og trufast ven av Olav den heilage. Hardt særd på Stiklestad 1030. Gift med Ragnhild, dotter av Erling Skjalgson på Sole. Ei dotter Thora Thorbergsdtr. var gift med kong Harald Hårdråde. -------------------- Lendermann. Kilde: nermo.org -------------------- Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopedi Gå til: navigasjon, søk Torberg Arneson på Giske (virket i første halvdel av 1000-tallet) var en norsk høvding og stamfar for Giskeætten. Torberg var sønn av Arne Arnmodsson på Giske, som tilhørte den mektige arnmødlingeætten. Såvel Torberg som hans brødre Kalv, Finn og Arne spilte fremtredende roller i Norge i første halvdel av 1000-tallet. Faren hadde vært kong Olav den helliges lendmann, og også Torberg kom til å stå på kongens side. Han fulgte ham i landflyktighet, og deltok i slaget på Stiklestad i 1030, hvor han ble såret. Torberg var gift med Ragnhild, datter av Olav den helliges fiende Erling Skjalgsson på Sola.[1] Datteren Tora ble gift med kong Harald Hardråde. Sønnen Øystein Orre falt i slaget ved Stamford bro i 1066, men gjennom den andre sønnen, Ogmund Torbergsson, ble han stamfar til den mektige Giskeætten. -------------------- Lendmann. Født omkring 990. Død omkring 1050. Torberg var vistnok sin fars eldste sønn. Han ble i 1025 lendmann på Møre hvor han ble etterfulgt av sin sønn, Øystein Orre. Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Olav den helliges saga: (Etter striden mellom Ragnhild og Torberg om Stein Skaftesson). «138. ... Etter jul kom det sendemenn fra kongen til Torberg med bud om at han skulle komme til kongen før midfaste, og med strengt pålegg om å følge budet. Torberg forela det for vennene sine og ba om råd om han skulle våge så mye som å reise til kongen slik som saken sto, og det var mange som rådde ham fra det, og sa det var tryggere å se til å bli av med Stein først og så gå i kongens makt. Torberg hadde mest lyst til å ikke utsette det med reisen. Litt senere dro Torberg til sin bror Finn og forela saken for ham og ba ham følge med seg. Finn svarte, han sa at han syntes det var fælt å la seg kue av kvinnfolk slik at han ikke torde holde ord mot sin herre for sin kone. «Du kan jo la være å komme om du ikke vil,» sa Torberg, «men jeg tror nå at du lar være mer av redsel enn av troskap mot kongen.» De skiltes i sinne. Så dro Torberg til Arne Arnesson, bror sin, og fortalte ham hvordan saken sto, og ba ham følge med seg til kongen. Arne sa: «Det er underlig med deg, synes jeg, så klok mann som du er, og så omtenksom, at du skal ha styrtet deg ut i en slik ulykke og fått kongens unåde over deg når det ikke var noen nødvendighet for det. Det kunne enda vært en unnskyldning om det hadde vært din frende du tok deg av eller en fosterbror, men det er ingen mening i slikt, å ta seg av en islending og ha hos seg en mann som kongen har gjort fredløs; og nå vil du sette både deg selv og alle dine frender på spill.» Torberg sa: «Det er som de sier at én er det som vanslekter i hver ætt. Den ulykke far hadde, ser jeg nå helt klart, han var uheldig med sønnene sine, siden han til slutt skulle få en som ikke har noen likhet med ætten vår, men er uten tiltak. Om jeg ikke syntes det var skam å si slikt om min mor, så skulle jeg sannelig aldri kalle deg vår bror.» Så snudde Torberg seg og gikk, han dro hjem og var nokså ute av seg. Etterpå sendte han bud nord i Trondheimen til Kalv, bror sin, og ba ham komme og møte seg ved Agdenes. Og da sendemennene kom til Kalv, lovte han å komme og sa ikke et ord imot. Ragnhild sendte noen menn øst på Jæren til sin far Erling og ba ham sende hjelp til henne. Derfra kom da Erlings sønner, Sigurd og Tore, og hver av dem hadde en tjuesesse med nitti mann ombord. Da de kom nord til Torberg, tok han imot dem på det beste og med stor glede. Så rustet han seg til reisen, og Torberg hadde også en tjuesesse. De dro i vei nordover. Da de kom til Trondheims Minne så lå alt Finn og Arne der, brødrene til Torberg, med to tjuesesser. Torberg hilste glad på brødrene sine, og sa at bryningen hadde nok bitt på dem. Finn sa at det var ikke ofte det trengtes med ham. Så seilte de med hele denne flåten til Trondheimen, og Stein var med dem ennå. Og da de kom til Agdenes, lå Kalv Arnesson og ventet, og han hadde en tjuesesse med godt mannskap. Med denne flåten seilte de inn til Nidarholm og lå der natten over. Morgenen etter hadde de en samtale med hverandre; Kalv og sønnene til Erling ville at de skulle seile inn til byen med hele flåten og så la lykken rå, men Torberg ville at de først skulle fare varsomt og komme med tilbud, det var Finn og Arne enige i. Så ble det avgjort slik at Finn og Arne dro til kong Olav først og hadde få menn med. Kongen hadde fått høre hvor mannsterke de var, og han var nokså sint da han talte med dem. Finn gjorde tilbud for Torberg og for Stein, han tilbød at kongen skulle dømme så store pengebøter han ville, men Torberg skulle få lov å bli i landet og få ha veitslene sine, Stein skulle ha fred på liv og lemmer. Kongen sa: «For meg ser det ut som dere har stelt det slik at dere nå mener dere rår halvt med meg eller mer. Det var det siste jeg hadde ventet av dere brødre at dere skulle gå mot meg med en hær; jeg kan merke på denne planen at det er disse jærbuene som har satt den i verk. Men dere trenger ikke å by meg penger.» Da sa Finn: «Vi brødre har ikke samlet hær av den grunn at vi vil by Dem ufred, konge. Det er tvert imot slik at vi vil by Dem vår tjeneste først. Men om De nekter og tenker å la Torberg li noen overlast, da vil vi dra med hele den hæren vi har, til Knut den mektige.» Da så kongen på ham og sa: «Om dere brødre vil sverge en ed til meg på det at dere skal følge meg innenlands og utenlands og ikke skilles fra meg uten at jeg gir samtykke til det, og ikke dølge det for meg om dere får vite om svikråd mot meg, da skal jeg ta imot forlik av dere brødrene.» Så dro Finn tilbake til hæren og sa hva for et valg kongen hadde gitt dem. Nå sa hver sin mening; Torberg sa at han for sin part vile ta imot dette vilkåret; «jeg har ingen lyst til å rømme fra eiendommene mine og reise til utenlandske høvdinger,» sa han. «Jeg mener det alltid vil være til ære for meg å følge kong Olav og være der han er.» Da sa Kalv: «Jeg vil ikke avlegge noen ed til kongen, og jeg vil bare være hos kongen så lenge jeg får ha veitslene mine og de andre verdighetene, og så lenge kongen vil være min venn. Og det er mitt ønske at vi alle sammen skal gjøre det slik.» Finn svarte: «Jeg vil rå til det at vi lar kong Olav rå alene i tretten mellom oss.» Arne Arnesson sa som så: «Om jeg var ferdig til å følge deg, Torberg, enda du ville kjempe mot kongen, da skal jeg ikke skilles fra deg nå, dersom du velger en bedre vei. Jeg vil følge deg og Finn og velge det vilkåret dere synes er best for dere.» Så gikk de tre brødrene, Torberg, Finn og Arne, ombord på ett skip, og rodde inn til byen, og så gikk de til kongen. Forliket kom i stand, og brødrene avla ed til kongen. Så prøvde Torberg å få forlik med kongen for Stein, og kongen sa at Stein kunne få fare i fred hvor han ville for ham. «Men hos meg kan han ikke være mer,» sa han. Kalv tok inn på Egge, og Finn dro til kongen, men Torberg og resten av hæren deres reiste hjem sørover. Stein fulgte med Erlings sønner sørover; tidlig på våren dro han vestover til England og så til kong Knut den mektige og ble hos ham lenge og var velsett der.» Under slaget ved Stiklestad etter at kong Olav hadde falt: «231. Kalv Arnesson lette etter brødrene sine som hadde falt der. Han fant Torberg og Finn, og folk sier at Finn kastet et sverd etter ham og ville drepe ham og talte harde ord til ham og kalte ham en niding som hadde sveket sin konge. Kalv brrydde seg ikke om det og lot bære Finn bort fra valplassen, og likeså Torberg. Så ble sårene deres ettersett, og de hadde ingen farlige sår. De hadde falt om av tretthet under alle de våpen som ble brukt på dem. Så sørget Kalv for å få flyttet brødrene sine ned til skipet og fulgte selv med dem. Straks han var borte, dro også hele den bondehæren bort som hadde hjemme der i nærheten, unntagen de som hadde sårede frender og venner å stelle med eller tok seg av likene etter dem som hadde falt. De som var såret, ble flyttet inn på gården, så der var hvert hus fullt av dem, og det var slått telt ute over noen. Men så merkelig mange folk det hadde samlet seg til bondehæren, så syntes folk ikke det var mindre rart hvor fort samlingen gikk fra hverandre, da den først tok til med det. Det kom mest av det at størsteparten av hæren hadde samlet seg fra bygdene der omkring, og disse folkene ville svært gjerne hjem igjen.» «242. Finn Arnesson ble ikke lenge hos Kalv på Egge, for han kunne slett ikke glemme at Kalv hadde vært med i slaget mot kong Olav. Finn kom stadig med harde ord til Kalv av den grunn. Torberg Arnesson styrte ordene sine mye bedre enn Finn. Likevel lengtet Torberg også etter å komme bort og hjem til gården sin. Kalv ga brødrene sine et godt langskip med all slags redskap og annet utstyr og godt følge. Så reiste de hjem til gårdene sine. Arne Arnesson lå lenge av sårene, men ble helt bra og fikk ingen men av det. Han reiste sørover til gården sin senere på vinteren. Alle brødrene fikk fred med kong Svein og slo seg til ro hjemme.» Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Harald Hardrådes saga: «33. Kong Harald giftet seg med Tora, datter til Torberg Arnesson vinteren etter at kong Magnus den gode var død. De hadde to sønner; den eldste het Magnus og den andre Olav. Kong Harald og dronning Ellisiv hadde to døtre; den ene het Maria, den andre Ingegjerd. Våren etter den hærferd som vi nå har fortalt om, bød kong Harald ut en hær og reiste om sommeren til Danmark og herjet. Og det gjorde han sommer etter sommer. ...» 1 1.

| 164 | About Vanlande Sveigdasson Alt Death Year: 323, 367, 369 http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanlande Vanlande eller Vanland (fornvästnordiska Vanlandi) var kung av Svitjod av Ynglingaätten och satt i Uppsala. Han är omnämnd i Ynglingatal och Ynglingasagan i Heimskringla. Han ska ha varit son till Svegder som han efterträdde som kung. Vanlande beskrivs av Snorre som en stor krigare som ofta reste ut i världen. En vinter bodde han hos Snjå den gamle (Snær gamli) i Lappland (Finnland) och fick hans dotter Driva till maka. Våren efter for han hem, men lovade att komma tillbaka om tre år. När Vanlande glömde bort detta och inte kom tillbaka på tio år skickade hon deras son Visbur till honom med sejdkvinnan Huld. Hon skulle skicka kungen tillbaka till Driva eller om detta misslyckades skulle hon döda honom. När hon sejdade fick Vanlande lust att fara till Lappland men hindrades av sina män. Huld skickade då en mara som red honom till döds. Han begravdes sedan på Skutåns strand och Visbur efterträdde honom som kung. Vanlande är troligen bara en mytologisk gestalt och kan då ha tillhört gudastammen vanerna i den nordiska mytologin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanlandi Vanlandi or Vanlande was a Swedish king at Uppsala of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. He was the son of Sveigðir whom he succeeded as king. He married a girl from Finnland (territories inhabited by Finno-Ugric peoples), but forgot about her. In revenge, the girl arranged so that Vanlandi was hag ridden to death. He was succeeded by his son Visbur. Snorri Sturluson wrote of Vanlandi in his Ynglinga saga (1225) (note that the translator has rendered Finnland as Finland): Vanlandi hét son Svegðis, er ríki tók eptir hann ok réð fyrir Uppsala auð; hann var hermaðr mikill, ok hann fór víða um lönd. Hann þá vetrvist á Finnlandi með Snjá hinum gamla, ok fékk þar dóttr hans Drífu. En at vári fór hann á brott, en Drífa var eptir, ok hét hann at koma aptr á þriggja vetra fresti; en hann kom eigi á 10 vetrum. Þá sendi Drífa eptir Huld seiðkonu, en sendi Vísbur, son þeirra Vanlanda, til Svíþjóðar. Drífa keypti at Huld seiðkonu, at hon skyldi síða Vanlanda til Finnlands, eða deyða hann at öðrum kosti. En er seiðr var framiðr, þá var Vanlandi at Uppsölum; þá gerði hann fúsan at fara til Finnlands, en vinir hans ok ráðamenn bönnuðu honum, ok sögðu at vera mundi fjölkyngi Finna í farfýsi hans. Þá gerðist honum svefnhöfugt, ok lagðist hann till svefns. En er hann hafði lítt sofnat, kallaði hann ok sagði, at mara trað hann. Menn hans fóru til ok vildu hjálpa honum; en er þeir tóku uppi til höfuðsins, þá trað hon fótleggina, svá at nær brotnuðu; þá tóku þeir til fótanna, þá kafði hon höfuðit, svá at þar dó hann. Svíar tóku lík hans, ok var hann brendr við á þá er Skúta heitir. Þar váru settir bautasteinar hans.[1] Vanlande, Swegde's son, succeeded his father, and ruled over the Upsal domain. He was a great warrior, and went far around in different lands. Once he took up his winter abode in Finland with Snae the Old, and got his daughter Driva in marriage; but in spring he set out leaving Driva behind, and although he had promised to return within three years he did not come back for ten. Then Driva sent a message to the witch Huld; and sent Visbur, her son by Vanlande, to Sweden. Driva bribed the witch- wife Huld, either that she should bewitch Vanlande to return to Finland, or kill him. When this witch-work was going on Vanlande was at Upsal, and a great desire came over him to go to Finland; but his friends and counsellors advised him against it, and said the witchcraft of the Finn people showed itself in this desire of his to go there. He then became very drowsy, and laid himself down to sleep; but when he had slept but a little while he cried out, saying that the Mara was treading upon him. His men hastened to him to help him; but when they took hold of his head she trod on his legs, and when they laid hold of his legs she pressed upon his head; and it was his death. The Swedes took his body and burnt it at a river called Skytaa, where a standing stone was raised over him.[2][3] Snorri also quoted some lines from Ynglingatal composed in the 9th century: En á vit Vilja bróður vitta véttr Vanlanda kom, þá er trollkund of troða skyldi liðs grímhildr ljóna bága; ok sá brann á beði Skútu menglötuðr, er mara kvalði.[4][5] And Vanlande, in a fatal hour, Was dragg'd by Grimhild's daughter's power, The witch-wife's, to the dwelling-place Where men meet Odin face to face. Trampled to death, to Skytaa's shore The corpse his faithful followers bore; And there they burnt, with heavy hearts, The good chief killed by witchcraft's arts.[6][7] The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation: Iste [Swegthir] genuit Wanlanda, qui in somno a dæmone suffocatus interiit, quod genus dæmoniorum norwegico sermone mara vocatur. Hic genuit Wisbur [...][8] He [Sveigde] sired Vanlande, who died in his sleep, suffocated by a goblin, one of the demonic species known in Norwegian as 'mare'. He was the father of Visbur, [...][9] The even earlier source Íslendingabók cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and also gives Vanlandi as the successor of Svegðir and the predecessor of Visbur: v Svegðir. vi Vanlandi. vii Visburr. viii Dómaldr[10]. Geography Geographical note: According to the article Skuttunge in Nationalencyklopedin, the creek skutá passed its name onto the village of Skuttunge and the parish of Skuttunge. The area does not only contain raised stones, but also 45 grave fields (most from the Iron Age), including a dolmen. The creek is today named after the village. -------------------- Konge i Uppsala (Sverige) -------------------- Vanlandi or Vanlande was a Swedish king at Uppsala of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology.

Once he took up his winter abode in Finland with Snae the Old, and got his daughter Driva in marriage; but in spring he set out leaving Driva behind, and although he had promised to return within three years he did not come back for ten. Then Driva sent a message to the witch Huld; and sent Visbur, her son by Vanlande, to Sweden. Driva bribed the witch- wife Huld, either that she should bewitch Vanlande to return to Finland, or kill him. When this witch-work was going on Vanlande was at Upsal, and a great desire came over him to go to Finland; but his friends and counsellors advised him against it, and said the witchcraft of the Finn people showed itself in this desire of his to go there. He then became very drowsy, and laid himself down to sleep; but when he had slept but a little while he cried out, saying that the Mara was treading upon him. His men hastened to him to help him; but when they took hold of his head she trod on his legs, and when they laid hold of his legs she pressed upon his head; and it was his death. The Swedes took his body and burnt it at a river called Skytaa, where a standing stone was raised over him.[2][3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanlandi -------------------- Vanlande var son till Sveigder och tog över makten efter honom och styrde över Uppsala öd. Han var en krigare och han for vida omkring i länderna. Han tog vinterviste i Finland hos Snjå den gamle och fick hans dotter Driva till hustru. När det blev vår for han bort och lämnade Driva kvar men lovade henne att komma åter inom tre vintrar. När han inte återkommit inom 10 vintrar skickade Driva efter sejdkvinnan Huld och kommer överens med henne att hon skulle sejda så att Vanlade skulle komma till Finland eller som andra utväg skulle han dödas. Sonen Visbur sändes till Svitjod. När sejden gjordes var Vanlande i Uppsala. Då fick han lust att fara till Finland, men hans rådgivare förbjöd honom för de trodde att det var Finnarnas trolldom som gav honom lusten. Under natten grep maran honom och klämde hans huvud så att dog. Sverna tog hans lik och han blev bränd vid den å som heter Skutå och reste hans bautastenar. -------------------- Vanland, Svegders Søn, givtede sig paa et af sine Tog med den finske Kong Snø den Gamles Datter Drifva, med Løfte om to Aar efter at hente hende til Upsala. Da Vanland opsatte dette i 10 Aar, og Drifva havde raadspurgt Spaaqvinden Huld, afsendte hun sin Søn Wisbur for at paakræve Løftets Opfyldelse. Vanland, i Begyndelsen villig dertil, afslog dog Reisen paa sine Hofmænds Raad, hvorpaa en heftig Sygdom angreb ham saa han deraf omkom. -------------------- Vanlande, Swegde's son, succeeded his father, and ruled over the Upsal domain.

Han är omnämnd i Ynglingatal och Ynglingasagan i Heimskringla. Han ska ha varit son till Svegder som han efterträdde som kung. Vanlande beskrivs av Snorre som en stor krigare som ofta reste ut i världen. En vinter bodde han hos Snjå den gamle (Snær gamli) i Lappland (Finnland) och fick hans dotter Driva till maka. Våren efter for han hem, men lovade att komma tillbaka om tre år. När Vanlande glömde bort detta och inte kom tillbaka på tio år skickade hon deras son Visbur till honom med sejdkvinnan Huld. Hon skulle skicka kungen tillbaka till Driva eller om detta misslyckades skulle hon döda honom. När hon sejdade fick Vanlande lust att fara till Lappland men hindrades av sina män. Huld skickade då en mara som red honom till döds. Han begravdes sedan på Skutåns strand och Visbur efterträdde honom som kung. Vanlande är troligen bara en mytologisk gestalt och kan då ha tillhört gudastammen vanerna i den nordiska mytologin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanlandi Vanlandi or Vanlande was a Swedish king at Uppsala of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology.

Han är omnämnd i Ynglingatal och Ynglingasagan i Heimskringla. Han ska ha varit son till Svegder som han efterträdde som kung. Vanlande beskrivs av Snorre som en stor krigare som ofta reste ut i världen. En vinter bodde han hos Snjå den gamle (Snær gamli) i Lappland (Finnland) och fick hans dotter Driva till maka. Våren efter for han hem, men lovade att komma tillbaka om tre år. När Vanlande glömde bort detta och inte kom tillbaka på tio år skickade hon deras son Visbur till honom med sejdkvinnan Huld. Hon skulle skicka kungen tillbaka till Driva eller om detta misslyckades skulle hon döda honom. När hon sejdade fick Vanlande lust att fara till Lappland men hindrades av sina män. Huld skickade då en mara som red honom till döds. Han begravdes sedan på Skutåns strand och Visbur efterträdde honom som kung. Vanlande är troligen bara en mytologisk gestalt och kan då ha tillhört gudastammen vanerna i den nordiska mytologin.

First wife: Daughter of Authi - Two sons, Onn and Gisle Second wife: Not named - One son: Domaldi The two first sons killed their father. The second one inherited. born around 319? Visbur or Wisbur in Scandinavian mythology was a king of the House of Ynglings and the son of Vanlandi. He was burned to death inside his hall by the arson of two of his own sons in revenge for rejecting their mother and denying them their heritage. He was succeeded by his son Dómaldi. Snorri Sturluson wrote of Visbur in his Ynglinga saga (1225): Visbur succeeded his father Vanlande. He married the daughter of Aude the Rich, and gave her as her bride-gift three large farms, and a gold ornament. They had two sons, Gisle and Ond; but Visbur left her and took another wife, whereupon she went home to her father with her two sons. Visbur had a son who was called Domald, and his stepmother used witchcraft to give him ill-luck. Now, when Visbur's sons were the one twelve and the other thirteen years of age, they went to their father's place, and desired to have their mother's dower; but he would not deliver it to them. Then they said that the gold ornament should be the death of the best man in all his race, and they returned home. Then they began again with enchantments and witchcraft, to try if they could destroy their father. The sorceress Huld said that by witchcraft she could bring it about by this means, that a murderer of his own kin should never be wanting in the Yngling race; and they agreed to have it so. Thereafter they collected men, came unexpectedly in the night on Visbur, and burned him in his house.[2][3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visbur -------------------- Alt Death dates: 339, 344 http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visbur Visbur var en mytologisk kung av Svitjod och Ynglingaätten enligt Heimskringla. Han var son till tidigare kung Vanlande och dennes drottning Driva. Han gifte sig med en dotter till Aude den mäktige, och de fick två söner, Gisl och Önder. Nu fann dock Visbur en ny hustru varpå den gamla reste hem till sin far och tog med sig de två sönerna. Med sin nya hustru fick Visbur en tredje son, Domalde. När Gisl och Önder var tolv och tretton år gick de till sin far för att få sin mors brudgåva. Visbur nekade och de två sönerna sade att guldhalsbandet skulle bli den bäste av ynglingaättens bane. Därefter red de hem till sin morfar och planerade hur de skulle mörda sin far. Völvan Huld anlitades för att hjälpa dem, men hon spådde att mordet på deras far skulle leda till en tradition av släktmord inom ätten. De lyssnade inte utan brände sin far till döds i hans hus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visbur In Scandinavian mythology, Visbur was a king of the House of Ynglings and the son of Vanlandi.

En er synir Vísburs váru 12 vetra ok 13, fóru þeir á fund hans ok heimtu mund móður sinnar, en hann vildi eigi gjalda.

Han gifte sig med Aude den mäktiges dotter och gav henne tre storgårdar och ett guldsmycke. De fick två söner som hette Gisl och Önder. Visbur lämnade henne ensam och skaffade sig en annan kvinna.

När hans två söner var 12 till 13 vintrar for de till sin far för att hämta guldsmycket som var deras mors brudgåva, men han ville inte lämna det ifrån sig. Då sade de att smycket skulle bli döden för den bäste mannens i hans ätt. Sedan sejdade de åter på ett sådant sätt de skulle kunna döda sin far. Sejdkvinnan Huld sade till dem att hon skulle sejda så att släktdråp därefter skulle begås av Ynglingaätten. De gick med på detta. Därefter samlade de manskap och smög sig på Visbur under natten och brände honom inne. Guldsmycket användes sedan när kung Agne dödades. -------------------- From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visbur 'Visbur or Wisbur (Old Norse "Certain/Undoubted Son"[1]) in Scandinavian mythology was a king of the House of Ynglings and the son of Vanlandi.

He was succeeded by his son Dómaldi.' -------------------- In Scandinavian mythology, Visbur was a king of the House of Ynglings and the son of Vanlandi. He was burned to death inside his hall by the arson of two of his own sons in revenge for rejecting their mother and denying them their heritage. He was succeeded by his son Dómaldi. Visbur succeeded his father Vanlande. He married the daughter of Aude the Rich, and gave her as her bride-gift three large farms, and a gold ornament. They had two sons, Gisle and Ond; but Visbur left her and took another wife, whereupon she went home to her father with her two sons. Visbur had a son who was called Domald, and his stepmother used witchcraft to give him ill-luck. Now, when Visbur's sons were the one twelve and the other thirteen years of age, they went to their father's place, and desired to have their mother's dower; but he would not deliver it to them. Then they said that the gold ornament should be the death of the best man in all his race, and they returned home. Then they began again with enchantments and witchcraft, to try if they could destroy their father. The sorceress Huld said that by witchcraft she could bring it about by this means, that a murderer of his own kin should never be wanting in the Yngling race; and they agreed to have it so. Thereafter they collected men, came unexpectedly in the night on Visbur, and burned him in his house. -------------------- Visbur Vanlandasson 378 SmartMatches Birth: About 319 in , Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden 1 2 Death: Sex: M Father: Vanlandi Svegdasson b.

| 166 | About Yngve Alreksson Alreksson, King of Svitjod, Uppsala & Sweden Alt birth date: 266 Alt death date: 300 Yngvi and Alf were two legendary Swedish kings of the House of Yngling. According to Ynglingatal, Historia Norwegiae and Ynglinga saga, Yngvi and Alf were the sons of Alrik. Snorri Sturluson relates that Yngvi was an accomplished king: a great warrior who always won his battles, the master of all exercises, generous, happy and sociable. He was both loved and famous. Alf was unsociable and harsh and stayed at home instead of pillaging in other countries. His mother was Dageid, the daughter of king Dag the Great from whom is descended the Dagling family. Alf was married to Bera who was happy and alert and a very lovable woman. One day in the autumn, Yngvi returned to Uppsala from a very successful Viking expedition which had rendered him famous. He used to spend time at the drinking table until late in the night, like Bera, and they found it pleasant to talk to each other. Alf, however, preferred to go to bed early and he started to tell her to go to bed early as well so that she did not wake him. Then Bera used to answer that Yngvi was much better for a woman than Alf, an answer that was getting on Alf's nerves. One evening, the jealous Alf entered the hall and saw Yngvi and Bera converse on the high seat. Yngvi had a short sword in his lap and the other guests were too drunk to see that Alf had arrived. From under his cloak Alf drew a sword and pierced Yngvi. Yngvi, mortally wounded, got up, drew his own short sword and slew Alf. They were buried in two mounds on the Fyrisvellir (Fyris Wolds). The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation: His [Agne's] son, Ingjald, was murdered in Sweden by his own brother because he had brought discredit on the latter's wife, whose name was Bera (Ursa in Latin).

Yngvi was a beloved, generous, handsome and great warrior, while Alf was harsh, silent and unfriendly, with an agreeable, frisky and gay wife, Bera. After a major viking expedition and during the following celebration, Yngvi and Bera remained up talking while Alf went to bed, ordereing Bera not to wake him when she came to bed. She had repeatedly stated that the woman Yngvi picked would be a happy one, and Alf became jealous. Yngvi's guards did not notice Alf entering the hall with a knife, where he stabbed Yngvi, who managed to kill Alf before he died. They were both buried under mounds in Fyrisvold. Upon their death, Alf's son Hugleik ruled, reputed as not being a warrior and being quite greedy. Two sea king brothers, Hake and Hagbard, invaded Sweden and killed Hugleik, Hake ruled the Swedes. Meanwhile, Yngvi's sons, Jorund and Eric, invaded Denmark, taking and hanging the king, Gudlog.at Stromones. They went after Hake next, who killed Eric and cut the brother's banner in two at a great battle on the Fyrisvoid near Uppsala, Hake was wounded enough to have set his boat free with all his men and burned it, falling upon the flames to die.

Alv er far til Hugleik, medan Yngve er far til Jorund og Eirik Dei er omtala i Ynglingesoga, og i Den eldste Noregshistoria (Historia Norvegiæ), forutan i Ynglingatal. I Historia Norvegiæ har Yngve namnet Ingjald. Snorre Sturlason fortel at Yngve var den store hermannen, "ovende sigersæl, væn og ein stor idrottsmann, sterk og djerv i slahe, raust på hand og gladværug". Alv var motsett, "tagal, rådrikin og gretten". Mor til Alv var ein Dageid, dotter av Dag den mektuge. Han var gift med Bera, som openberrt var meir oppteken av Yngve, og ein kveld han kom heim frå ferd, vart det til at han vart sitjande i lag med Bera, medan Alv la seg tidleg. Soleis kom Bera til å rø mykje med Yngve, og Alv mislika dette sterkt. Bera sa då at det var betre å vera gift med Yngve enn med Alv, og dette vart Alv harm for. Ein kveld drog Alv sverd mot bror sin, og stakk det gjennom Yngve. Yngve drog sitt sverd og drap Alv. Dei døydde båe to i same stunda, og er hauglagde på Fyrisvollane. Tjodolv frå Kvine seier: Daud laut han liggja, drepin av Alv, herren som vaktar på heilagdomen, då kongen ovundssjuk mot Yngve fór, og med blodut sverd til bane stakk han. Harmelegt var det at hovdingar djerve dronningi skulde til dråp eggja, då bror gav bror banehogg åbruige i utrengsmål. Hugleik, son av Alv, rådde for riket i åra etter. Historia Norvegiæ [endre] Ingjald (Yngve) er her son av Agne, og forteljinga seier berre at han vart drepen av bror sin for di han krenkte kona hans, Bera (Ursa). Namnet på broren er ikkje kjend i denne framstillinga. Brordrapet som er skildra her, følgjer spådomen om at frende støtt skulle drepa frende i Ynglingeætta. Nokre forskarar har samanførd Alv-namnet med vestgotarhovdingen Athaulf, som vart drepen av ein frende. Han etterfølgde Alarik (Alrek). Elles kunne namnet Alv knytast til naturvetta med same namn, nært bunde saman med vanekulten og dyrkinga av Frøy, som er opphavet til heile ynglingeætta.

OF YNGVE AND ALF. Alric's sons, Yngve and Ali, then succeeded to the kingly power inSweden. Yngve was a great warrior, always victorious; handsome,expert in all exercises, strong and very sharp in battle, generous and full of mirth; so that he was both renowned and beloved. Alf was a silent, harsh, unfriendly man, and sat at home in the land, and never went out on war expeditions. His mother was called Dageid, a daughter of King Dag the Great, from whom the Dagling family is descended. King Alf had a wife named Bera, who was the most agreeable of women, very brisk and gay. One autumn Yngve, Alric's son,had arrived at Upsal from a viking cruise by which he was become very celebrated. He often sat long in the evening at the drinking-table; but Alf went willingly to bed very early. Queen Bera sat often till late in the evening, and she and Yngve conversed together for their amusement; but Alf soon told her that she should not sit up so late in the evening, but should go first to bed, so as not to waken him. She replied, that happy would be the woman who had Yngve instead of Alf for her husband; and as she often repeated the same, he became very angry. One evening Alf went into the hall, where Yngve and Bera sat on the high seat speaking to each other. Yngve had a short sword upon his knees, and the guests were so drunk that they did not observe the king coming in. King Alf went straight to the high seat, drew a sword from under his cloak, and pierced his brother Yngve through and through. Yngve leaped up, drew his short sword, and gave Alf his death-wound; so that both fell dead on the floor. Alf and Yngve were buried under mounds in Fyrisvold.Thus tells Thjodolf of it: "I tell you of a horrid thing, A deed of dreadful note I sing -- How by false Bera, wicked queen, The murderous brother-hands were seen Each raised against a brother's life; How wretched Alf with bloody knife Gored Yngve's heart, and Yngve's blade Alf on the bloody threshold laid. Can men resist Fate's iron laws? They slew each other without cause." -------------------- According to the Ynglinga saga, Alrek and Eirík were sons and heirs of the previous king Agni by his wife Skjálf. They shared the kingship. They were mighty in both war and sports, but were especially skillful horsmen and vied with one another about their horsemanship and their horses. One day they rode off from their retinue and did not return. They were found dead with their heads battered but no weapons with them save the bridle bits of their horses. Accordingly it was believed that they had quarreled and come to blows and had slain each other with their bridle bits. They were succeeded by Alrik's sons Yngvi and Alf. Yngvi and Alf were two legendary Swedish kings of the House of Yngling. According to Ynglingatal, Historia Norwegiae and Ynglinga saga, Yngvi and Alf were the sons of Alrik.

Alf was unsociable and harsh and stayed at home instead of pillaging in other countries. His mother was Dageid, the daughter of king Dag the Great from whom is descended the Dagling family. Alf was married to Bera who was happy and alert and a very lovable woman. One day in the autumn, Yngvi returned to Uppsala from a very successful Viking expedition which had rendered him famous. He used to spend time at the drinking table until late in the night, like Bera, and they found it pleasant to talk to each other. Alf, however, preferred to go to bed early and he started to tell her to go to bed early as well so that she did not wake him. Then Bera used to answer that Yngvi was much better for a woman than Alf, an answer that was getting on Alf's nerves. One evening, the jealous Alf entered the hall and saw Yngvi and Bera converse on the high seat. Yngvi had a short sword in his lap and the other guests were too drunk to see that Alf had arrived. From under his cloak Alf drew a sword and pierced Yngvi. Yngvi, mortally wounded, got up, drew his own short sword and slew Alf. They were buried in two mounds on the Fyrisvellir (Fyris Wolds). Alf was succeeded by his son Hugleik. The poem in Ynglingatal: Ok varð hinn, er Alfr of vá vörðr véstalls, of veginn liggja, er dölingr dreyrgan mæki öfundgjarn á Yngva rauð.

Instead Alrekr precedes Agne and Agne is succeeded by Yngvi. The even earlier source Íslendingabók cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and it gives the same line of succession as Historia Norwegiæ: xi Dagr. xii Alrekr. xiii Agni. xiiii Yngvi. xv Jörundr.[8] Hervarar Saga and the Saga of Orvar-Odd In the Hervarar saga and the saga of Orvar-Odd, Yngvi was the father of Ingeborg, the princess who was in love with the Swedish hero Hjalmar. Ari Frodi's Younger Íslendingabók According to Ari Frodi's line of Swedish kings Yngvi was the son of Agne, and not of Agne's son Alrik. Gesta Danorum In Gesta Danorum, Alf (Alverus) was the father of Yngve (Ing) and Ingjald (Ingild). Ingjald, in his turn was the father of Sigurd Ring and the grandfather of Ragnar Lodbrok. -------------------- Alt birth date: 266 Alt death date: 300 Yngvi and Alf were two legendary Swedish kings of the House of Yngling.

Yngvi was a beloved, generous, handsome and great warrior, while Alf was harsh, silent and unfriendly, with an agreeable, frisky and gay wife, Bera. After a major viking expedition and during the following celebration, Yngvi and Bera remained up talking while Alf went to bed, ordereing Bera not to wake him when she came to bed. She had repeatedly stated that the woman Yngvi picked would be a happy one, and Alf became jealous. Yngvi's guards did not notice Alf entering the hall with a knife, where he stabbed Yngvi, who managed to kill Alf before he died. They were both buried under mounds in Fyrisvold. Upon their death, Alf's son Hugleik ruled, reputed as not being a warrior and being quite greedy. Two sea king brothers, Hake and Hagbard, invaded Sweden and killed Hugleik, Hake ruled the Swedes. Meanwhile, Yngvi's sons, Jorund and Eric, invaded Denmark, taking and hanging the king, Gudlog.at Stromones. They went after Hake next, who killed Eric and cut the brother's banner in two at a great battle on the Fyrisvoid near Uppsala, Hake was wounded enough to have set his boat free with all his men and burned it, falling upon the flames to die.

Alv er far til Hugleik, medan Yngve er far til Jorund og Eirik Dei er omtala i Ynglingesoga, og i Den eldste Noregshistoria (Historia Norvegiæ), forutan i Ynglingatal. I Historia Norvegiæ har Yngve namnet Ingjald. Snorre Sturlason fortel at Yngve var den store hermannen, "ovende sigersæl, væn og ein stor idrottsmann, sterk og djerv i slahe, raust på hand og gladværug". Alv var motsett, "tagal, rådrikin og gretten". Mor til Alv var ein Dageid, dotter av Dag den mektuge. Han var gift med Bera, som openberrt var meir oppteken av Yngve, og ein kveld han kom heim frå ferd, vart det til at han vart sitjande i lag med Bera, medan Alv la seg tidleg. Soleis kom Bera til å rø mykje med Yngve, og Alv mislika dette sterkt. Bera sa då at det var betre å vera gift med Yngve enn med Alv, og dette vart Alv harm for. Ein kveld drog Alv sverd mot bror sin, og stakk det gjennom Yngve. Yngve drog sitt sverd og drap Alv. Dei døydde båe to i same stunda, og er hauglagde på Fyrisvollane. Tjodolv frå Kvine seier: Daud laut han liggja, drepin av Alv, herren som vaktar på heilagdomen, då kongen ovundssjuk mot Yngve fór, og med blodut sverd til bane stakk han. Harmelegt var det at hovdingar djerve dronningi skulde til dråp eggja, då bror gav bror banehogg åbruige i utrengsmål. Hugleik, son av Alv, rådde for riket i åra etter. Historia Norvegiæ [endre] Ingjald (Yngve) er her son av Agne, og forteljinga seier berre at han vart drepen av bror sin for di han krenkte kona hans, Bera (Ursa). Namnet på broren er ikkje kjend i denne framstillinga. Brordrapet som er skildra her, følgjer spådomen om at frende støtt skulle drepa frende i Ynglingeætta. Nokre forskarar har samanførd Alv-namnet med vestgotarhovdingen Athaulf, som vart drepen av ein frende. Han etterfølgde Alarik (Alrek). Elles kunne namnet Alv knytast til naturvetta med same namn, nært bunde saman med vanekulten og dyrkinga av Frøy, som er opphavet til heile ynglingeætta.

OF YNGVE AND ALF. Alric's sons, Yngve and Ali, then succeeded to the kingly power inSweden. Yngve was a great warrior, always victorious; handsome,expert in all exercises, strong and very sharp in battle, generous and full of mirth; so that he was both renowned and beloved. Alf was a silent, harsh, unfriendly man, and sat at home in the land, and never went out on war expeditions. His mother was called Dageid, a daughter of King Dag the Great, from whom the Dagling family is descended. King Alf had a wife named Bera, who was the most agreeable of women, very brisk and gay. One autumn Yngve, Alric's son,had arrived at Upsal from a viking cruise by which he was become very celebrated. He often sat long in the evening at the drinking-table; but Alf went willingly to bed very early. Queen Bera sat often till late in the evening, and she and Yngve conversed together for their amusement; but Alf soon told her that she should not sit up so late in the evening, but should go first to bed, so as not to waken him. She replied, that happy would be the woman who had Yngve instead of Alf for her husband; and as she often repeated the same, he became very angry. One evening Alf went into the hall, where Yngve and Bera sat on the high seat speaking to each other. Yngve had a short sword upon his knees, and the guests were so drunk that they did not observe the king coming in. King Alf went straight to the high seat, drew a sword from under his cloak, and pierced his brother Yngve through and through. Yngve leaped up, drew his short sword, and gave Alf his death-wound; so that both fell dead on the floor. Alf and Yngve were buried under mounds in Fyrisvold.Thus tells Thjodolf of it: "I tell you of a horrid thing, A deed of dreadful note I sing -- How by false Bera, wicked queen, The murderous brother-hands were seen Each raised against a brother's life; How wretched Alf with bloody knife Gored Yngve's heart, and Yngve's blade Alf on the bloody threshold laid. Can men resist Fate's iron laws? They slew each other without cause." -------------------- According to the Ynglinga saga, Alrek and Eirík were sons and heirs of the previous king Agni by his wife Skjálf. They shared the kingship. They were mighty in both war and sports, but were especially skillful horsmen and vied with one another about their horsemanship and their horses. One day they rode off from their retinue and did not return. They were found dead with their heads battered but no weapons with them save the bridle bits of their horses. Accordingly it was believed that they had quarreled and come to blows and had slain each other with their bridle bits. They were succeeded by Alrik's sons Yngvi and Alf. Yngvi and Alf were two legendary Swedish kings of the House of Yngling. According to Ynglingatal, Historia Norwegiae and Ynglinga saga, Yngvi and Alf were the sons of Alrik. Snorri Sturluson relates that Yngvi was an accomplished king: a great warrior who always won his battles, the master of all exercises, generous, happy and sociable. He was both loved and famous. Alf was unsociable and harsh and stayed at home instead of pillaging in other countries. His mother was Dageid, the daughter of king Dag the Great from whom is descended the Dagling family. Alf was married to Bera who was happy and alert and a very lovable woman. One day in the autumn, Yngvi returned to Uppsala from a very successful Viking expedition which had rendered him famous. He used to spend time at the drinking table until late in the night, like Bera, and they found it pleasant to talk to each other. Alf, however, preferred to go to bed early and he started to tell her to go to bed early as well so that she did not wake him. Then Bera used to answer that Yngvi was much better for a woman than Alf, an answer that was getting on Alf's nerves. One evening, the jealous Alf entered the hall and saw Yngvi and Bera converse on the high seat. Yngvi had a short sword in his lap and the other guests were too drunk to see that Alf had arrived. From under his cloak Alf drew a sword and pierced Yngvi. Yngvi, mortally wounded, got up, drew his own short sword and slew Alf. They were buried in two mounds on the Fyrisvellir (Fyris Wolds). Alf was succeeded by his son Hugleik. -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi_and_Alf -------------------- Roi de Uppland -------------------- 12. YNGVE ALRICKSSON - King in Svitjod from 280 until killed by his brother in the year 306 A.D. King Alf was very jealous of his brother Yngve. Alf's wife taunted him by making flattering remarks about Yngve, and preferred the company of her brother-in-law to that of her husband. One night after a drinking bout where the guests were so drunk they did not see the King enter the room, he went to the high seat where his wife sat with Yngve. Alf stabbed Yngve to death, but not before Alf returned the favor, and both fell dead. Yngve's son was: 13. JORUND - King in Uppsala, Sweden from 302 until he was hanged in 312 A.D. -------------------- Sønn av Alrek og svensk konge etter han. Navnet hans ble også skrevet Ingeld. Yngve og Alv var Alreks sønner. De fikk deretter kongedømme iSvitjod. Yngve var en stor hærmann og alltid seiersæl, vakker,kunne mange idretter,sterk og kvass i strid, gavmild på gods ogalltid glad. For alt dette ble han vidspurt og vennesæl. KongAlv, hans bror, satt hjemme i landet og var ikke på hærtog. Dekalte ham Elvse ("vesle-Alv"). Han var fåmælt, maktsyk oguvennlig. Hans mor het Dageid, datter til kong Dag den mektige,som daglingene er ættet fra. Kong Alv hadde en kone som hetBera, hun var vakrere enn andre kvinner, storslått og gladlynt.Så var det en høst at Yngve Alreksson kom til Uppsala fra vikingigjen, og det ble gjort stor stas på ham. Han satt gjerne lengeog drakk om kvelden, kong Alv gikk oftest tidlig til sengs.Dronning Bera satt ofte oppe om kvelden, og hun og Yngve satt ogfjaset med hverandre. Alv snakket mange ganger til henne omdette, og ba hun skulle gå og legge seg før. Han ville ikkeligge våke nog vente på henne, sa han. Hun svarte ham og sa atden kvinn ekunne være glad som fikk Yngve til mann og ikke Alv.Han ble svært sint, for hun sa dette flere anger. En kveld kom Alv inn i hallen mens Yngve og Bera satt i høgsetetog talte med hverandre. Yngve hadde sverdet liggende overknærne. Folk var svært drukne og la ikke merke til at kongenkom inn .Kong Alv gikk til høgsetet, dro sverdet fram av kappenog stak kdet gjennom Yngve, broren. Yngve sprang opp, drosverdet og hogg Alv banehogg, og de falt begge to døde pågulvet. Alv og Yngve ble hauglagt på Fyresvollene. -------------------- BIOGRAFI: Nicknames: "Yngve", "Yngvi", "????????", "King of Svitjod", "King of Uppsala", "King of Sweden" Birthdate: cirka 460 Birthplace: Sweden Death: Died 525 in Gravlagt Fyrisvollane Occupation: King in Uppsala, Swedish King, King of Sweden, Konge i Uppsala, King in Sweden, King of Upsala, Roi de Svitjod (Novgorod, Russie; Uppsala, Suede et Vingulmark Norvege), Konge, ????, King of Upsal, Swedish King of the House of Yngling, @occu00534@ Ingjald (Yngve) er her son av Agne, og forteljinga seier berre at han vart drepen av bror sin for di han krenkte kona hans, Bera (Ursa).

Snorri Sturluson relates that Yngvi was an accomplished king: a great warrior who always won his battles, the master of all exercises, generous, happy and sociable. He was both loved and famous. Alf was unsociable and harsh and stayed at home instead of pillaging in other countries. His mother was Dageid, the daughter of king Dag the Great from whom is descended the Dagling family. Alf was married to Bera who was happy and alert and a very lovable woman. One day in the autumn, Yngvi returned to Uppsala from a very successful Viking expedition which had rendered him famous. He used to spend time at the drinking table until late in the night, like Bera, and they found it pleasant to talk to each other. Alf, however, preferred to go to bed early and he started to tell her to go to bed early as well so that she did not wake him. Then Bera used to answer that Yngvi was much better for a woman than Alf, an answer that was getting on Alf's nerves. One evening, the jealous Alf entered the hall and saw Yngvi and Bera converse on the high seat. Yngvi had a short sword in his lap and the other guests were too drunk to see that Alf had arrived. From under his cloak Alf drew a sword and pierced Yngvi. Yngvi, mortally wounded, got up, drew his own short sword and slew Alf. They were buried in two mounds on the Fyrisvellir (Fyris Wolds). wikipedia | Alreksson, King of Svitjod, Uppsala & Sweden, Yngve (I2203)

Father: Njord of the Vanir Mother: The sister of Njord Wife: Gerd Gymesdatter Son: Fjolne There seems to be two Freyr, the one that is the son of Njördr and the one that is the son of Odin. They're mixed up most of the time. ---- Yngvi, Ingui or Ing appears to have been the older name for the god Freyr (originally an epitheton, meaning "lord") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi ---- Freyr (sometimes anglicized Frey)[1] is one of the most important gods of Norse paganism. Freyr was highly associated with agriculture, weather and, as a phallic fertility god, Freyr "bestows peace and pleasure on mortals". Freyr, sometimes referred to as Yngvi-Freyr, was especially associated with Sweden and seen as an ancestor of the Swedish royal house. In the Icelandic books the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Freyr is presented as one of the Vanir, the son of the sea god Njörðr, brother of the goddess Freyja. The gods gave him Álfheimr, the realm of the Elves, as a teething present. He rides the shining dwarf-made boar Gullinbursti and possesses the ship Skíðblaðnir which always has a favorable breeze and can be folded together and carried in a pouch when it is not being used. He has the servants Skírnir, Byggvir and Beyla. The most extensive surviving Freyr myth relates Freyr's falling in love with the giantess Gerðr. Eventually, she becomes his wife but first Freyr has to give away his magic sword which fights on its own "if wise be he who wields it". Although deprived of this weapon, Freyr defeats the giant Beli with an antler. However, lacking his sword, Freyr will be killed by the fire giant Surtr at Ragnarök, the end of the world. .... Snorri Sturluson starts his epic history of the kings of Norway with Ynglinga saga, a euhemerized account of the Norse gods. Here Odin and the Æsir are men from Asia who gain power through their prowess in war and Odin's skills. But when Odin attacks the Vanir he bites off more than he can chew and peace is negotiated after a destructive and indecisive war. Hostages are exchanged to seal the peace deal and the Vanir send Freyr and Njörðr to live with the Æsir. At this point the saga, like Lokasenna, mentions that incest was practised among the Vanir. "While Njord was with the Vanaland people he had taken his own sister in marriage, for that was allowed by their law; and their children were Frey and Freya. But among the Asaland people it was forbidden to intermarry with such near relations." Odin makes Njörðr and Freyr priests of sacrifices and they become influential leaders. Odin goes on to conquer the North and settles in Sweden where he rules as king, collects taxes and maintains sacrifices. After Odin's death, Njörðr takes the throne. During his rule there is peace and good harvest and the Swedes come to believe that Njörðr controls these things. Eventually Njörðr falls ill and dies. "Frey took the kingdom after Njord, and was called drot by the Swedes, and they paid taxes to him. He was, like his father, fortunate in friends and in good seasons. Frey built a great temple at Upsal, made it his chief seat, and gave it all his taxes, his land, and goods. Then began the Upsal domains, which have remained ever since. Then began in his days the Frode-peace; and then there were good seasons, in all the land, which the Swedes ascribed to Frey, so that he was more worshipped than the other gods, as the people became much richer in his days by reason of the peace and good seasons. His wife was called Gerd, daughter of Gymis, and their son was called Fjolne. Frey was called by another name, Yngve; and this name Yngve was considered long after in his race as a name of honour, so that his descendants have since been called Ynglinger. Frey fell into a sickness; and as his illness took the upper hand, his men took the plan of letting few approach him. In the meantime they raised a great mound, in which they placed a door with three holes in it. Now when Frey died they bore him secretly into the mound, but told the Swedes he was alive; and they kept watch over him for three years. They brought all the taxes into the mound, and through the one hole they put in the gold, through the other the silver, and through the third the copper money that was paid. Peace and good seasons continued." (Ynglinga saga) "When it became known to the Swedes that Frey was dead, and yet peace and good seasons continued, they believed that it must be so as long as Frey remained in Sweden; and therefore they would not burn his remains, but called him the god of this world, and afterwards offered continually blood-sacrifices to him, principally for peace and good seasons."

Han er òg kjend under namnet Ingve eller Ingve-Frøy. Saman med Odin og Tor var Frøy ein av hovudgudane i den norrøne gudeverda. Lekken mellom Ingve og Frøy skriv seg frå ein tidleg samanslåing mellom grødeguden Frøy og den gamalgermanske stammeguden Ingwaz, som er ættefar til dei sørskandinaviske folka, daner, svear, anglar og juter. Frøy var opphavleg ein av vanene, og han vart gjeven til æsene som gissel etter krigen mellom æser og vaner, saman med syster si, Frøya, og far deira, Njord. Snorre Sturlason fortel i Ynglingesoga at det var syster til Njord som var mor til Frøy og Frøya. Historiar [endre] Edda-kvadet Skírnismál fortel om Frøy si forelsking i og ekteskap med den motviljuge jotunkvinna Gerd. Gerd og Frøy fekk saman sonen Fjolne. I Heimskringla av Snorre Sturlason, eller dei norske kongesogene, vert Ingve-Frøy skildra som stamfar til Ynglingeætta. Ynglingeætta var ei norsk kongsætt. Ved Ragnarok vil Frøy vera ein av dei fyrste som fell, i kamp med jotnen Surt. Eigedelar [endre] Frøy hadde eit sverd som kunne hogga av seg sjølv. Dette gav han til Skirne da han henta kona til Frøy, jotnen Gerd. Frøy saknar sverdet mange gonger, spesielt under Ragnarok, når han blir drept fordi han ikkje har sverdet. Han eigde eit skip med namnet Skidbladne eller Skibladner (Skíðblaðnir). Skipet vart bygd av dvergane Ivaldesønene. Skipet kunne segla like godt på land som på vatn, og med ein gong det var sett på vatnet fekk det medvind. Skipet kunne òg brettast saman slik at det fekk plass i ei lomme. Guden hadde to dyr, grisegalten Slidrugtanne (Slídhrugtanni) eller Gyllenbørste (Gullinborsti), og hesten Blodughofi («med blodig hov»). Frøy hadde to tenarar, Byggvir og Bejla. Tenarane vert knytt til kornhausting. Namnet Frøy [endre] Namnet Frøy tyder herre. Namnet vert i Noreg nytta som førenamn, både som kvinnenamn og mannsnamn, og som del av andre namn, både stadnamn (og dermed etternamn) som Frøyland, og førenamn, som Frøydis. -------------------- Yngvi-Frey 235AD "For many generations the kings of Upsala before King Ingjiald married for their chief wives, generally, daughters of the Royal House of Vestergothland and also married kinswomen of the royal house." These were "daughters of the drotts or kings of Ingria, in what is now Russia and Finland. "Then it was "called Yngvi Land, after Yngvi Frey the last ruler of the Swedes and Goths who was believed of divine origin." -------------------- http://www.dokpro.uio.no/wergeland/WIV2/WIV2009.html Yngve Frey. Han flyttede Kongesædet fra Sigtuna til gamle Upsala, hvor han byggede det prægtige, guldprydede Afguds- tempel og henflyttede Kongesædet. Han tillagde disse visse Indtægter af Jordgods, bekjendt under Navn af Upsalaøde. Hans Regjering var ligeledes fredelig og heldig. Mod Enden af hans Regjering fødtes Christus. Yngves Død, som ansaaes uheld- spaaende, dulgtes længe for Svenskerne, og istedetfor at brænde hans Liig, som da var brugeligt, byggede man en Høi (Ættehøi) hvori han indførtes, og kastede man didind i 3 Aar Skatterne af Landet. Efter sin Død dyrkedes han som Gud over hele Norden; og af ham har Fredagen sit Navn. -------------------- From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freyr 'Freyr, traditional Swedish "Fröj/Frö" (sometimes anglicized Frey, from *frawjaz "lord"[1]) is one of the most important gods of Norse paganism.

[WBH - Sweden] FOSTER, BURR, MINOR, NEWLIN, WAITE LINES The founder of the Yngling dynasty as accepted by Thiodulf and others was Yngve, who is said to have built the great temple at Upsala, moving thither the capital from the older Sigtuna and contributing to the temple all his lands and riches. Yngve's son was Fiolner. [History of Sweden, p. 35] !The most important among the chieftains of Sweden was the king of Upsala, who conducted the sacrifices and temple service at Upsala, the oldest and most celebrated place of heathen worship in the Scandinavian North. Originally, he had under his rule only 1/3 of the present province of Upland, the chief settlement of the Sviar, or Swedes in a limited sense. The Upsala kings belonged to the ancient royal race of Skilfing (or Ynglings) who traced their origin from the gods. The founder of the dynasty as accepted by Thiodulf and others was Yngve, who is said to have built the great temple at Upsala, moving thither the capital from the older Sigtuna and contributing to the temple all his lands and riches. [WBH - Sweden] !Frey was God of the World and Soveriegn of the Swedes, who established the holy place at Uppsala and made his chief residence there. Another name of Frey was Yngvi, and the name of Yngvi was kept for a long while thereafter in his line as a royal name, and the men of his line were thereafter called Ynglings.

The day Friday is named in his honor. His wife's name was Gard." We are told that Yngve Frey was buried at Uppsala in the tombe of the kings. A statue of him was erected at the Uppsala temple, along with the statues of Odin and Thor. The Swedish people gathered there three times a year to sacrifice to their gods and to hold their councils or "Things". At these events, the king heard the complaints of his subjects, consulted his wise men, and, together with his people, made important decisions for his kingdom. Note: The modern historian has difficulty in separating mist-shrouded legends from truth. Who knows? There may have been a real king named Yngve Frey, who was later worshipped as a god.

Freyr was highly associated with agriculture, weather and, as a phallic fertility god, Freyr "bestows peace and pleasure on mortals". Freyr, sometimes referred to as Yngvi-Freyr, was especially associated with Sweden and seen as an ancestor of the Swedish royal house. In the Icelandic books the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Freyr is presented as one of the Vanir, the son of the sea god Njörðr, brother of the goddess Freyja. The gods gave him Álfheimr, the realm of the Elves, as a teething present. He rides the shining dwarf-made boar Gullinbursti and possesses the ship Skíðblaðnir which always has a favorable breeze and can be folded together and carried in a pouch when it is not being used. He has the servants Skírnir, Byggvir, and Beyla. The most extensive surviving Freyr myth relates Freyr's falling in love with the giantess Gerðr. Eventually, she becomes his wife but first Freyr has to give away his magic sword which fights on its own "if wise be he who wields it". Although deprived of this weapon, Freyr defeats the giant Beli with an antler. However, lacking his sword, Freyr will be killed by the fire giant Surtr during the events of Ragnarök. Njördr in Nóatún begot afterward two children: the son was called Freyr, and the daughter Freyja; they were fair of face and mighty. Freyr is the most renowned of the Æsir; he rules over the rain and the shining of the sun, and therewithal the fruit of the earth; and it is good to call on him for fruitful seasons and peace. He governs also the prosperity of men. Gylfaginning XXIV, It chanced one day that Freyr had gone to Hlidskjálf, and gazed over all the world; but when he looked over into the northern region, he saw on an estate a house great and fair. And toward this house went a woman; when she raised her hands and opened the door before her, brightness gleamed from her hands, both over sky and sea, and all the worlds were illumined of her. Gylfaginning XXXVII The woman is Gerðr, a beautiful giantess. Freyr immediately falls in love with her and becomes depressed and taciturn. After a period of brooding, he consents to talk to Skírnir, his foot-page. He tells Skírnir that he has fallen in love with a beautiful woman and thinks he will die if he cannot have her. He asks Skírnir to go and woo her for him. Then Skírnir answered thus: he would go on his errand, but Freyr should give him his own sword-which is so good that it fights of itself;- and Freyr did not refuse, but gave him the sword. Then Skírnir went forth and wooed the woman for him, and received her promise; and nine nights later she was to come to the place called Barrey, and then go to the bridal with Freyr. Gylfaginning XXXVII The loss of Freyr's sword has consequences. According to the Prose Edda, Freyr had to fight Beli without his sword and slew him with an antler. But the result at Ragnarök, the end of the world, will be much more serious. Freyr is fated to fight the fire-giant Surtr and since he does not have his sword he will be defeated. Even after the loss of his weapon Freyr still has two magical artifacts, both of them dwarf-made. One is the ship Skíðblaðnir, which will have favoring breeze wherever its owner wants to go and can also be folded together like a napkin and carried in a pouch. The other is the boar Gullinbursti whose mane glows to illuminate the way for his owner. No myths involving Skíðblaðnir have come down to us but Snorri relates that Freyr rode to Baldr's funeral in a wagon pulled by Gullinbursti. The courtship of Freyr and Gerðr is dealt with extensively in the poem Skírnismál. Freyr is depressed after seeing Gerðr. Njörðr and Skaði ask Skírnir to go and talk with him. Freyr reveals the cause of his grief and asks Skírnir to go to Jötunheimr to woo Gerðr for him. Freyr gives Skírnir a horse and his magical sword for the journey Frey took the kingdom after Njord, and was called drot by the Swedes, and they paid taxes to him. He was, like his father, fortunate in friends and in good seasons. Frey built a great temple at Upsal, made it his chief seat, and gave it all his taxes, his land, and goods. Then began the Upsal domains, which have remained ever since. Then began in his days the Frode-peace; and then there were good seasons, in all the land, which the Swedes ascribed to Frey, so that he was more worshipped than the other gods, as the people became much richer in his days by reason of the peace and good seasons. His wife was called Gerd, daughter of Gymis, and their son was called Fjolne.

Freyr - also spelled Frey , also called Yngvi, in Norse mythology, the ruler of peace and fertility, rain, and sunshine and the son of the sea god Njörd. Although originally one of the Vanir tribe, he was included with the Aesir. Gerd, daughter of the giant Gymir, was his wife. Worshiped especially in Sweden, he was also well-known in Norway and Iceland. His sister and female counterpart, Freyja, was goddess of love, fertility, battle, and death. The boar was sacred to both. Freyr and Freyja figure in many lays and stories of medieval Iceland. -- "Freyr." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2005. Encyclopædia Britannica Premium Service 28 Apr. 2005 Freyr is the god of sun and rain, and the patron of bountiful harvests. He is both a god of peace and a brave warrior. He is also the ruler of the elves. Freyr is the most prominent and most beautiful of the male members of the Vanir , and is called 'God of the World'. After the merging of the Aesir and the Vanir, Freyr was called 'Lord of the Aesir'. Freyr was also called upon to grant a fertile marriage. He is married to the beautiful giantess Gerd , and is the son of Njord . His sister is Freya. He rides a chariot pulled by the golden boar Gullinbursti which was made for him by the dwarves Brokk and Eitri. He owns the ship Skidbladnir ("wooden-bladed"), which always sails directly towards its target, and which can become so small that it can fit in Freyr's pocket. He also possesses a sword that would by itself emerge from its sheath and spread a field with carnage whenever the owner desired it. Freyr's shield bearer and servant is Skirnir, to whom he gave his sword, which Skirnir demanded as a reward for making Gerd his wife. On the day of Ragnarok he will battle without weapons (for he gave his sword away to Skirnir), and will be the first to be killed by the fire giant Surt . The center of his cult was the city Uppsala in Sweden. In southern Sweden he was called Fricco. From Norsk mythology Freyr also spelled Frey, also called YNGVI, in Norse mythology, the ruler of peace and fertility, rain, and sunshine and the son of the sea god Njörd. Although originally one of the Vanir tribe, he was included with the Aesir. Gerd, daughter of the giant Gymir, was his wife. Worshiped especially in Sweden, he was also well-known in Norway and Iceland. His sister and female counterpart, Freyja, was goddess of love, fertility, battle, and death. The boar was sacred to both. Freyr and Freyja figure in many lays and stories of medieval Iceland. Freyr Much more is told of Freyr, the son of Njörd. His name means "Lord" (compare Old English Frea), but Freyr had other names as well; he was called Yngvi or Yngvi-Freyr, and this name suggests that he was the eponymous father of the north Germans whom Tacitus calls Ingvæones (Ingævones). The Old English Runic Poem indicates that the god Ing was seen first among the eastern Danes; he departed eastward over a wave and his chariot went after him. It is remarkable how the chariot persists in the cult of the Vanir, Nerthus, Ing, and Freyr. A comparatively late source tells how the idol of Freyr was carried in a chariot to bring fertility to the crops in Sweden. In an early saga of Iceland, where crops were little cultivated, Freyr still appears as the guardian of the sacred wheatfield. Freyr's name often is found as the first element of a place-name, especially in eastern Sweden; the second element often means "wheatfield," or "meadow The Eddic poem Skírnismál ("The Lay of Skírnir") relates the wooing of Freyr's bride, Gerd (Ger?r), a giant-maiden. This story has often been considered as a fertility myth. Gerdr (from gar?r, "field") is held fast in the clutches of the frost-giants of winter. Thus, Freyr, as sun-god, would free her. However, this interpretation rests entirely on disputable etymologies. The narrative indicates that Freyr's bride belongs to the otherworld, and her wooing may rather symbolize the affinities of the fertility god with the chthonian powers, dominating the cycle of life and death. Several animals were sacred to Freyr, particularly the horse and, because of his great fertility, the boar. The centre of Freyr's cult was Uppsala, and he was once said to be king of the Swedes. His reign was one of peace and plenty. While Freyr reigned in Sweden, a certain Frodi ruled the Danes, and the Danes attributed this age of prosperity to him. Frodi (Fró?i) was also conveyed ceremoniously in a chariot, and some have seen him as no other than a doublet of Freyr. Freyr was said to be ancestor of the Ynglingar, the Swedish royal family. Such myths are connected with the concept of "divine kingship" in the Germanic world, but earlier views on "sacral royalty" are now being challenged. FREYR PROPOSES TO GERDUR One day Freyr was sitting in Hli?skjálf, and saw the giant-maiden Ger?ur daughter of Gymir. She seemed to him the most beautiful of all maidens, and he was filled with longing and sorrow, but dared not tell the other gods, who worried about him. Of all the Giants Gymir was now the most terrible, and a sworn enemy of Ásgar?ur, and therefore a bond of matrimony between the Gods and Gymir would be a shameful thing indeed, and most dangerous for all of creation. Nevertheless Freyr's passion became so overwhelming that he felt that he would die unless Ger?ur become his. He opened his heart to Svipdagur, and it came to pass that Svipdagur went to Ger?ur in order to propose marriage on Freyr's behalf. He took with him the ring Draupnir and eleven golden apples, but she would only accept the proposal on three conditions: that her father Gymir receive Völundur's sword; that Svipdagur and Freyja fetch her and accompany her into Ásgar?ur; and that she become one of the Goddesses in Ásgar?ur. THE SWORD OF REVENGE IN GYMIR'S POWER The Gods accepted unwillingly, and thus forfeited the certain victory, which the sword had ensured. The sword was a great gain for the giants, even if they would never be able to use it without destroying themselves. Gymir gave the sword into the keeping of his kinsman Egg?ér, who buried it deep below the earth in the Iron-Wood (Járnvi?ur). BATTLE IN THE HALL OF GYMIR Svipdagur went to Gymir's hall along with Freyja. They planned to betray the Giants. ?órr and Ullur rode secretly to the north, and hid themselves near to Gymir's mountainous abode. Gymir told Svipdagur that he planned to keep Freyja, and proposed that he himself marry Ger?ur. Thus he would regain the sword of revenge, be able to fulfil the blood vengeance which he had sworn, overthrow the God-powers and himself become Lord of the Universe. Svipdagur pretended to accept this, and now a double wedding was prepared. Just in time ?órr and Ullur burst into the rocky hall. Svipdagur grabbed his weapons, and Freyja fought valiantly by her husband's side. Gymir and all his clan were slaughtered after a violent battle, and the Gods brought Ger?ur into Ásgar?ur. Freyr (fray-er), Frey, Fro - (also Ingve-Frey) Vana-God, brother-consort of Freyja; son of Njord and Njord's sister. "The Lord", fertility and creativity God; "the Lover"; God of Yule. He is the god of wealth and peace and contentment. Blood was not allowed to be spilled through violence, nor where weapons or outlaws allowed on or in his holy places. He owns the boar, Gullinbursti, the ship, Skidbladnir, and a magic sword, that moves by itself through the air. Gerd, a Giantess, is his wife. Sensual love, fertility, growth, abundance, wealth, bravery, horses, boars, protector of ships and sailors, peace, joy happiness, rain, beauty, weather, guarantor of oaths, groves, sunshine, plant growth, sex. He ruled over the land of the light elves, Alfheim. Frey Frey, also known as Fro Ing, is Son to Niord and brother to Freya. Apparently, Frey?s mother is Niord?s sister. He is married to the giantess Gerd and they have a son named Fiolnir. Frey is the god of kings, especially in Denmark and Sweden. Known, as the god of frith (fruitful peace) and of good weather, this ?God of the World? rides a boar named Gullenbursti. It was made out of an ingot of gold and boar skin. He also has a boat called Skidhbladnir. It fits in his pocket and can grow to any size he needs it to be. Fro Ing gave up his horse, Blodhughofi, and his sword to his best friend Skinir. With this sword and steed he went to Muspellheim and convinced Gerd to marry Frey. His hall is Alfheim, world of the elves. At Ragnarok, Frey will fight with a Stag?s horn and be killed by Surt, the fire giant. From http://www.timelessmyths.com/norse/vanir.html God of light, rain, fertility and prosperity. Freyr was son of Njörd (Njord) and Njörd's nameless sister (possibly Nerthus). Freyr was the brother of his twin sister Freyja. Like his father and sister, he was originally a Vanir, but he became an important god of the Aesir. Freyr was one of the hostages after their war against the Aesir. Sometimes, the giantess Skadi was said to be his mother, but usually she was his stepmother. Freyr was sometimes called Yngvi or Yngvi-Freyr. Another name was Ingi-Freyr. Freyr was originally the husband and lover of his sister, before they moved and lived with the Aesir gods. Though, it was natural for the Vanir deities to have incestuous relation between siblings, incest was obviously not approved in Asgard. Like his sister, Freyr was the god of fertility and his sacred animals was also the pig. Brokk and Eiti created a wild boar with golden bristles, called Gullinbursti (which literally means "golden bristles"), which drew his chariot. Sturluson also mentioned the boar was probably Slidrugtanni, instead of Gullinbursti. Freyr also possessed a collapsible ship made by sons of Ivaldi called Skidbladnir (Wooden-bladed), which can be reduce to size small enough to put in his pocket when he was not on it. (See Gifts of the Dwarves for the full story.) Freyr was god of light and the sun, or more precisely the god of sunshine. Freyr also appeared to be god of rain and agriculture. He resided in Alfheim and was either ruler or patron god of the elves. Freyr has three companions, his servants, Byggvir ("Barley") and his serving maid Beyla, and his shield-bearer, Skirnir ("Shining One"). Byggvir and Beyla appeared in appeared in the poem Lokasenna, from the Poetic Edda. While Skirnir appeared in the poem, Skirnismal. Among the Vanir, Freyr was their strongest and bravest god. Several times, he was mentioned as the war leader of the gods. Freyr had possessed a magical sword, but he lose this blade. Freyr married the giantess Gerd, daughter of the giants - Gymir and Aurboda. Freyr asked his servant Skirnir to help him woo Gerd. Skirnir asked for the great magical sword from his master as payment for this service, Freyr agreed. At first, Gerd refused to marry Freyr, no matter what gifts Skirnir offered her. She only consent to marry the Vanir, when Skirnir threatened her to cause the beautiful giantess to aged into old woman. See the Wooing of Gerd. They were later married and had a son named Fiolnir. In Ragnarök (Ragnarok), he fought the fire-giant, Surt, without a weapon, and was the first to be killed. His shield-bearer Skirnir had asked for his sword as payment for his services and his help in getting Gerd to marrying him. Freyr, like the other Vanir deities, was popular in Sweden, though he was known in Norway and Iceland. A statue was found in the temple at Uppsala, where he was portrayed with a gigantic phallus. Clearly this statue and other statuettes and amulets found in Sweden, showed that Freyr was a fertility god. -------------------- Yngvi-Frey Njordsson King Of Swedes 1 Birth: About 235 in <, Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden> 2 3 Death: Sex: M Father: Njord De Noatun King Of Swedes b.

Freyr was highly associated with farming, weather and, as a phallic fertility god, Freyr "bestows peace and pleasure on mortals". Freyr, sometimes referred to as Yngvi-Freyr, was especially associated with Sweden and seen as an ancestor of the Swedish royal house. In the Icelandic books the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Freyr is presented as one of the Vanir, the son of the sea god Njörðr, brother of the goddess Freyja. The gods gave him Álfheimr, the realm of the Elves, as a teething present. He rides the shining dwarf-made boar Gullinbursti and possesses the ship Skíðblaðnir which always has a favorable breeze and can be folded together and carried in a pouch when it is not being used. He has the servants Skírnir, Byggvir, and Beyla. The most extensive surviving Freyr myth relates Freyr's falling in love with the female jötunn Gerðr. Eventually, she becomes his wife but first Freyr has to give away his magic sword which fights on its own "if wise be he who wields it". Although deprived of this weapon, Freyr defeats the jötunn Beli with an antler. However, lacking his sword, Freyr will be killed by the fire jötunn Surtr during the events of Ragnarök. Adam of Bremen Written around 1080, one of the oldest written sources on pre-Christian Scandinavian religious practices is Adam of Bremen's Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum. Adam claimed to have access to first-hand accounts on pagan practices in Sweden. He refers to Freyr with the Latinized name Fricco and mentions that an image of him at Skara was destroyed by a Christian missionary. His description of the Temple at Uppsala gives some details on the god. In hoc templo, quod totum ex auro paratum est, statuas trium deorum veneratur populus, ita ut potentissimus eorum Thor in medio solium habeat triclinio; hinc et inde locum possident Wodan et Fricco. Quorum significationes eiusmodi sunt: 'Thor', inquiunt, 'praesidet in aere, qui tonitrus et fulmina, ventos ymbresque, serena et fruges gubernat. Alter Wodan, id est furor, bella gerit, hominique ministrat virtutem contra inimicos. Tertius est Fricco, pacem voluptatemque largiens mortalibus'. Cuius etiam simulacrum fingunt cum ingenti priapo. Gesta Hammaburgensis 26, Waitz' edition In this temple, entirely decked out in gold, the people worship the statues of three gods in such wise that the mightiest of them, Thor, occupies a throne in the middle of the chamber; Woden and Frikko have places on either side. The significance of these gods is as follows: Thor, they say, presides over the air, which governs the thunder and lightning, the winds and rains, fair weather and crops. The other, Woden—that is, the Furious—carries on war and imparts to man strength against his enemies. The third is Frikko, who bestows peace and pleasure on mortals. His likeness, too, they fashion with an immense phallus. Gesta Hammaburgensis 26, Tschan's translation Later in the account Adam states that when a marriage is performed a libation is made to the image of Fricco. Historians are divided on the reliability of Adam's account.[2] While he is close in time to the events he describes he has a clear agenda to emphasize the role of the Archbishopric of Hamburg-Bremen in the Christianization of Scandinavia. His timeframe for the Christianization of Sweden conflicts with other sources, such as runic inscriptions, and archaeological evidence does not confirm the presence of a large temple at Uppsala. On the other hand, the existence of phallic idols was confirmed in 1904 with a find at Rällinge in Södermanland.[3] Prose Edda When Snorri Sturluson was writing in 13th century Iceland the indigenous Germanic gods were still remembered though they had not been openly worshiped for more than two centuries. Gylfaginning In the Gylfaginning section of his Prose Edda, Snorri introduces Freyr as one of the major gods. Njörðr í Nóatúnum gat síðan tvau börn, hét sonr Freyr en dóttir Freyja. Þau váru fögr álitum ok máttug. Freyr er hinn ágætasti af ásum. Hann ræðr fyrir regni ok skini sólar, ok þar með ávexti jarðar, ok á hann er gott at heita til árs ok friðar. Hann ræðr ok fésælu manna. Gylfaginning 24, EB's edition Njördr in Nóatún begot afterward two children: the son was called Freyr, and the daughter Freyja; they were fair of face and mighty. Freyr is the most renowned of the Æsir; he rules over the rain and the shining of the sun, and therewithal the fruit of the earth; and it is good to call on him for fruitful seasons and peace. He governs also the prosperity of men. Gylfaginning XXIV, Brodeur's translation This description has similarities to the older account by Adam of Bremen but the differences are interesting. Adam assigns control of the weather and produce of the fields to Thor but Snorri says that Freyr rules over those areas. Snorri also omits any explicitly sexual references in Freyr's description. Those discrepancies can be explained in several ways. It is possible that the Norse gods did not have exactly the same roles in Icelandic and Swedish paganism but it must also be remembered that Adam and Snorri were writing with different goals in mind. Either Snorri or Adam may also have had distorted information. The only extended myth related about Freyr in the Prose Edda is the story of his marriage. Þat var einn dag er Freyr hafði gengit í Hliðskjálf ok sá of heima alla. En er hann leit í norðrætt, þá sá hann á einum bœ mikit hús ok fagrt, ok til þess húss gekk kona, ok er hon tók upp höndum ok lauk hurð fyrir sér þá lýsti af höndum hennar bæði í lopt ok á lög, ok allir heimar birtusk af henni. Gylfaginning 37, EB's edition It chanced one day that Freyr had gone to Hlidskjálf, and gazed over all the world; but when he looked over into the northern region, he saw on an estate a house great and fair. And toward this house went a woman; when she raised her hands and opened the door before her, brightness gleamed from her hands, both over sky and sea, and all the worlds were illumined of her. Gylfaginning XXXVII, Brodeur's translation The woman is Gerðr, a beautiful giantess. Freyr immediately falls in love with her and becomes depressed and taciturn. After a period of brooding, he consents to talk to Skírnir, his foot-page. He tells Skírnir that he has fallen in love with a beautiful woman and thinks he will die if he cannot have her. He asks Skírnir to go and woo her for him. Þá svarar Skírnir, sagði svá at hann skal fara sendiferð en Freyr skal fá honum sverð sitt. Þat var svá gott sverð at sjálft vásk. En Freyr lét eigi þat til skorta ok gaf honum sverðit. Þá fór Skírnir ok bað honum konunnar ok fekk heitit hennar, ok níu nóttum síðar skyldi hon þar koma er Barey heitir ok ganga þá at brullaupinu með Frey. Gylfaginning 37, EB's edition Then Skírnir answered thus: he would go on his errand, but Freyr should give him his own sword-which is so good that it fights of itself;- and Freyr did not refuse, but gave him the sword. Then Skírnir went forth and wooed the woman for him, and received her promise; and nine nights later she was to come to the place called Barrey, and then go to the bridal with Freyr. Gylfaginning XXXVII, Brodeur's translation The loss of Freyr's sword has consequences. According to the Prose Edda, Freyr had to fight Beli without his sword and slew him with an antler. But the result at Ragnarök, the end of the world, will be much more serious. Freyr is fated to fight the fire-giant Surtr and since he does not have his sword he will be defeated. Even after the loss of his weapon Freyr still has two magical artifacts, both of them dwarf-made. One is the ship Skíðblaðnir, which will have favoring breeze wherever its owner wants to go and can also be folded together like a napkin and carried in a pouch. The other is the boar Gullinbursti whose mane glows to illuminate the way for his owner. No myths involving Skíðblaðnir have come down to us but Snorri relates that Freyr rode to Baldr's funeral in a wagon pulled by Gullinbursti. Skaldic poetry Freyr is referred to several times in skaldic poetry. In Húsdrápa, partially preserved in the Prose Edda, he is said to ride a boar to Baldr's funeral. Ríðr á börg til borgar böðfróðr sonar Óðins Freyr ok folkum stýrir fyrstr enum golli byrsta. Húsdrápa 7, FJ's edition The battle-bold Freyr rideth First on the golden-bristled Barrow-boar to the bale-fire Of Baldr, and leads the people. Húsdrápa 7, Brodeur's translation In a poem by Egill Skalla-Grímsson, Freyr is called upon along with Njörðr to drive Eric Bloodaxe from Norway. The same skald mentions in Arinbjarnarkviða that his friend has been blessed by the two gods. [E]n Grjótbjörn of gæddan hefr Freyr ok Njörðr at féar afli. Arinbjarnarkviða 17, FJ's edition Frey and Njord have endowed rock-bear with wealth's force. Arinbjarnarkviða 17, Scudder's translation Nafnaþulur In Nafnaþulur Freyr is said to ride the horse Blóðughófi (Bloody Hoof). Poetic Edda Freyr is mentioned in several of the poems in the Poetic Edda. The information there is largely consistent with that of the Prose Edda while each collection has some details not found in the other. Völuspá Völuspá, the best known of the Eddic poems, describes the final confrontation between Freyr and Surtr during Ragnarök. Surtr fer sunnan með sviga lævi, skínn af sverði sól valtíva. Grjótbjörg gnata, en gífr rata, troða halir helveg, en himinn klofnar. Þá kømr Hlínar harmr annarr fram, er Óðinn ferr við úlf vega, en bani Belja bjartr at Surti, þá mun Friggjar falla angan. Völuspá 51–52, EB's edition Surtr moves from the south with the scathe of branches:[4] there shines from his sword the sun of Gods of the Slain. Stone peaks clash, and troll wives take to the road. Warriors tread the path from Hel, and heaven breaks apart. Then is fulfilled Hlín's second sorrow, when Óðinn goes to fight with the wolf, and Beli's slayer, bright, against Surtr. Then shall Frigg's sweet friend fall. Völuspá 50–51, Dronke's translation Some scholars have preferred a slightly different translation, in which the sun shines "from the sword of the gods". The idea is that the sword which Surtr slays Freyr with is the "sword of the gods" which Freyr had earlier bargained away for Gerðr. This would add a further layer of tragedy to the myth. Sigurður Nordal argued for this view but the possibility represented by Ursula Dronke's translation above is equally possible. Grímnismál Grímnismál, a poem which largely consists of miscellaneous information about the gods, mentions Freyr's abode. Alfheim Frey gáfu í árdaga tívar at tannféi. Grímnismál 5, GJ's edition Alfheim the gods to Frey gave in days of yore for a tooth-gift. Grímnismál 5, Thorpe's translation A tooth-gift was a gift given to an infant on the cutting of the first tooth. Since Alfheimr or Álfheimr means "World of Álfar (Elves)" the fact that Freyr should own it is one of the indications of a connection between the Vanir and the obscure Álfar. Grímnismál also mentions that the sons of Ívaldi made Skíðblaðnir for Freyr and that it is the best of ships. Lokasenna In the poem Lokasenna, Loki accuses the gods of various misdeeds. He criticizes the Vanir for incest, saying that Njörðr had Freyr with his sister. He also states that the gods discovered Freyr and Freyja having sex together. The god Týr speaks up in Freyr's defense. Freyr er beztr allra ballriða ása görðum í; mey hann né grætir né manns konu ok leysir ór höftum hvern. Lokasenna 37, GJ's edition Frey is best of all the exalted gods in the Æsir's courts: no maid he makes to weep, no wife of man, and from bonds looses all. Lokasenna 37, Thorpe's translation Lokasenna also mentions that Freyr has servants called Byggvir and Beyla. They seem to have been associated with the making of bread. Skírnismál The courtship of Freyr and Gerðr is dealt with extensively in the poem Skírnismál. Freyr is depressed after seeing Gerðr. Njörðr and Skaði ask Skírnir to go and talk with him. Freyr reveals the cause of his grief and asks Skírnir to go to Jötunheimr to woo Gerðr for him. Freyr gives Skírnir a steed and his magical sword for the journey. Mar ek þér þann gef, er þik um myrkvan berr vísan vafrloga, ok þat sverð, er sjalft mun vegask ef sá er horskr, er hefr. Skírnismál 9, GJ's edition My steed I lend thee to lift thee o'er the weird ring of flickering flame, the sword also which swings itself, if wise be he who wields it. Skírnismál 9, Hollander's translation When Skírnir finds Gerðr he starts by offering her treasures if she will marry Freyr. When she declines he gets her consent by threatening her with destructive magic. Ynglinga saga Snorri Sturluson starts his epic history of the kings of Norway with Ynglinga saga, a euhemerized account of the Norse gods. Here Odin and the Æsir are men from Asia who gain power through their prowess in war and Odin's skills. But when Odin attacks the Vanir he bites off more than he can chew and peace is negotiated after the destructive and indecisive Æsir-Vanir War. Hostages are exchanged to seal the peace deal and the Vanir send Freyr and Njörðr to live with the Æsir. At this point the saga, like Lokasenna, mentions that incest was practised among the Vanir. Þá er Njörðr var með Vönum, þá hafði hann átta systur sína, því at þat váru þar lög; váru þeirra börn Freyr ok Freyja. En þat var bannat með Ásum at byggja svá náit at frændsemi. Ynglinga saga 4, Schultz's edition While Njord was with the Vanaland people he had taken his own sister in marriage, for that was allowed by their law; and their children were Frey and Freya. But among the Asaland people it was forbidden to intermarry with such near relations. Ynglinga saga 4, Laing's translation Odin makes Njörðr and Freyr priests of sacrifices and they become influential leaders. Odin goes on to conquer the North and settles in Sweden where he rules as king, collects taxes, and maintains sacrifices. After Odin's death, Njörðr takes the throne. During his rule there is peace and good harvest and the Swedes come to believe that Njörðr controls these things. Eventually Njörðr falls ill and dies. Freyr tók þá ríki eptir Njörð; var hann kallaðr dróttinn yfir Svíum ok tók skattgjafir af þeim; hann var vinsæll ok ársæll sem faðir hans. Freyr reisti at Uppsölum hof mikit, ok setti þar höfuðstað sinn; lagði þar til allar skyldir sínar, lönd ok lausa aura; þá hófst Uppsala auðr, ok hefir haldizt æ síðan. Á hans dögum hófst Fróða friðr, þá var ok ár um öll lönd; kendu Svíar þat Frey. Var hann því meir dýrkaðr en önnur goðin, sem á hans dögum varð landsfólkit auðgara en fyrr af friðinum ok ári. Gerðr Gýmis dóttir hét kona hans; sonr þeirra hét Fjölnir. Freyr hét Yngvi öðru nafni; Yngva nafn var lengi síðan haft í hans ætt fyrir tignarnafn, ok Ynglingar váru síðan kallaðir hans ættmenn. Freyr tók sótt; en er at honum leið sóttin, leituðu menn sér ráðs, ok létu fá menn til hans koma, en bjoggu haug mikinn, ok létu dyrr á ok 3 glugga. En er Freyr var dauðr, báru þeir hann leyniliga í hauginn, ok sögðu Svíum at hann lifði, ok varðveittu hann þar 3 vetr. En skatt öllum heltu þeir í hauginn, í einn glugg gullinu, en í annan silfrinu, í hinn þriðja eirpenningum. Þá hélzt ár ok friðr. Ynglinga saga 12, Schultz's edition Frey took the kingdom after Njord, and was called drot by the Swedes, and they paid taxes to him. He was, like his father, fortunate in friends and in good seasons. Frey built a great temple at Upsal, made it his chief seat, and gave it all his taxes, his land, and goods. Then began the Upsal domains, which have remained ever since. Then began in his days the Frode-peace; and then there were good seasons, in all the land, which the Swedes ascribed to Frey, so that he was more worshipped than the other gods, as the people became much richer in his days by reason of the peace and good seasons. His wife was called Gerd, daughter of Gymis, and their son was called Fjolne. Frey was called by another name, Yngve; and this name Yngve was considered long after in his race as a name of honour, so that his descendants have since been called Ynglinger. Frey fell into a sickness; and as his illness took the upper hand, his men took the plan of letting few approach him. In the meantime they raised a great mound, in which they placed a door with three holes in it. Now when Frey died they bore him secretly into the mound, but told the Swedes he was alive; and they kept watch over him for three years. They brought all the taxes into the mound, and through the one hole they put in the gold, through the other the silver, and through the third the copper money that was paid. Peace and good seasons continued. Ynglinga saga 12, Laing's translation Þá er allir Svíar vissu, at Freyr var dauðr, en hélzt ár ok friðr, þá trúðu þeir, at svá mundi vera, meðan Freyr væri á Svíþjóð, ok vildu eigi brenna hann, ok kölluðu hann veraldar goð ok blótuðu mest til árs ok friðar alla ævi síðan. Ynglinga saga 13, Schultz's edition When it became known to the Swedes that Frey was dead, and yet peace and good seasons continued, they believed that it must be so as long as Frey remained in Sweden; and therefore they would not burn his remains, but called him the god of this world, and afterwards offered continually blood-sacrifices to him, principally for peace and good seasons. Ynglinga saga 13, Laing's translation Freyr had a son named Fjölnir, who succeeds him as king and rules during the continuing period of peace and good seasons. Fjölnir's descendants are enumerated in Ynglingatal which describes the mythological kings of Sweden. Ögmundar þáttr dytts The 14th century Icelandic Ögmundar þáttr dytts contains a tradition of how Freyr was transported in a wagon and administered by a priestess, in Sweden. Freyr's role as a fertility god needed a female counterpart in a divine couple (McKinnell's translation 1987[5]): “ Great heathen sacrifices were held there at that time, and for a long while Frey had been the god who was worshipped most there — and so much power had been gained by Frey’s statue that the devil used to speak to people out of the mouth of the idol, and a young and beautiful woman had been obtained to serve Frey. It was the faith of the local people that Frey was alive, as seemed to some extent to be the case, and they thought he would need to have a sexual relationship with his wife; along with Frey she was to have complete control over the temple settlement and all that belonged to it. ” In this short story, a man named Gunnar was suspected of manslaughter and escaped to Sweden, where Gunnar became acquainted with this young priestess. He helped her drive Freyr's wagon with the god effigy in it, but the god did not appreciate Gunnar and so attacked him and would have killed Gunnar if he had not promised himself to return to the Christian faith if he would make it back to Norway. When Gunnar had promised this, a demon jumped out off the god effigy and so Freyr was nothing but a piece of wood. Gunnar destroyed the wooden idol and dressed himself as Freyr, and then Gunnar and the priestess travelled across Sweden where people were happy to see the god visiting them. After a while he made the priestess pregnant, but this was seen by the Swedes as confirmation that Freyr was truly a fertility god and not a scam. Finally, Gunnar had to flee back to Norway with his young bride and had her baptized at the court of Olaf Tryggvason. Other Icelandic sources Worship of Freyr is alluded to in several Icelanders' sagas. The protagonist of Hrafnkels saga is a priest of Freyr. He dedicates a horse to the god and kills a man for riding it, setting in motion a chain of fateful events. In Gísla saga a chieftain named Þorgrímr Freysgoði is an ardent worshipper of Freyr. When he dies he is buried in a howe. Varð og sá hlutur einn er nýnæmum þótti gegna að aldrei festi snæ utan og sunnan á haugi Þorgríms og eigi fraus; og gátu menn þess til að hann myndi Frey svo ávarður fyrir blótin að hann myndi eigi vilja að freri á milli þeirra.[6] And now, too, a thing happened which seemed strange and new. No snow lodged on the south side of Thorgrim's howe, nor did it freeze there. And men guessed it was because Thorgrim had been so dear to Frey for his worship's sake that the god would not suffer the frost to come between them. -[7] Hallfreðar saga, Víga-Glúms saga and Vatnsdœla saga also mention Freyr. Other Icelandic sources referring to Freyr include Íslendingabók, Landnámabók, and Hervarar saga. Íslendingabók, written around 1125, is the oldest Icelandic source to mention Freyr, including him in a genealogy of Swedish kings. Landnámabók includes a heathen oath to be sworn at an assembly where Freyr, Njörðr, and "the almighty áss" are invoked. Hervarar saga mentions a Yuletide sacrifice of a boar to Freyr. Gesta Danorum The 12th Century Danish Gesta Danorum describes Freyr, under the name Frø, as the "viceroy of the gods". Frø quoque deorum satrapa sedem haud procul Upsala cepit, ubi veterem litationis morem tot gentibus ac saeculis usurpatum tristi infandoque piaculo mutavit. Siquidem humani generis hostias mactare aggressus foeda superis libamenta persolvit. Gesta Danorum 3, Olrik's edition There was also a viceroy of the gods, Frø, who took up residence not far from Uppsala and altered the ancient system of sacrifice practised for centuries among many peoples to a morbid and unspeakable form of expiation. He delivered abominable offerings to the powers above by instituting the slaughter of human victims. Gesta Danorum 3, Fisher's translation That Freyr had a cult at Uppsala is well confirmed from other sources. The reference to the change in sacrificial ritual may also reflect some historical memory. There is archaeological evidence for an increase in human sacrifices in the late Viking Age[8] though among the Norse gods human sacrifice is most often linked to Odin. Another reference to Frø and sacrifices is found earlier in the work, where the beginning of an annual blót to him is related. King Hadingus is cursed after killing a divine being and atones for his crime with a sacrifice. Siquidem propitiandorum numinum gratia Frø deo rem divinam furvis hostiis fecit. Quem litationis morem annuo feriarum circuitu repetitum posteris imitandum reliquit. Frøblot Sueones vocant. Gesta Danorum 1, Olrik's edition [I]n order to mollify the divinities he did indeed make a holy sacrifice of dark-coloured victims to the god Frø. He repeated this mode of propitiation at an annual festival and left it to be imitated by his descendants. The Swedes call it Frøblot. Gesta Danorum 1, Fisher's translation The sacrifice of dark-coloured victims to Freyr has a parallel in Ancient Greek religion where the chthonic fertility deities preferred dark-coloured victims to white ones. In book 9, Saxo identifies Frø as the "king of Sweden" (rex Suetiae): Quo tempore rex Suetiae Frø, interfecto Norvagiensium rege Sywardo, coniuges necessariorum eius prostibulo relegatas publice constuprandas exhibuit. Gesta Danorum 9, Olrik's edition About this time the Swedish ruler Frø, after killing Sivard, king of the Norwegians, removed the wives of Sivard's relatives to a brothel and exposed them to public prostitution. Gesta Danorum 9, Fisher's translation The reference to public prostitution may be a memory of fertility cult practices. Such a memory may also be the source of a description in book 6 of the stay of Starcatherus, a follower of Odin, in Sweden. Mortuo autem Bemono, Starcatherus ab athletis Biarmensibus ob virtutem accitus, cum plurima apud eos memoratu digna edidisset facinora, Sueonum fines ingreditur. Ubi cum filiis Frø septennio feriatus ab his tandem ad Haconem Daniae tyrannum se contulit, quod apud Upsalam sacrificiorum tempore constitutus effeminatos corporum motus scaenicosque mimorum plausus ac mollia nolarum crepitacula fastidiret. Unde patet, quam remotum a lascivia animum habuerit, qui ne eius quidem spectator esse sustinuit. Adeo virtus luxui resistit. Gesta Danorum 6, Olrik's edition After Bemoni's death Starkather, because of his valour, was summoned by the Biarmian champions and there performed many feats worthy of the tellings. Then he entered Swedish territory where he spent seven years in a leisurely stay with the sons of Frø, after which he departed to join Haki, the lord of Denmark, for, living at Uppsala in the period of sacrifices, he had become disgusted with the womanish body movements, the clatter of actors on the stage and the soft tinkling of bells. It is obvious how far his heart was removed from frivolity if he could not even bear to watch these occasions. A manly individual is resistant to wantonness. Gesta Danorum 6, Fisher's translation Yngvi A strophe of the Anglo-Saxon rune poem (c. 1100) records that: Ing was first among the East Danes seen by men This may refer to the origins of the worship of Ingui in the tribal areas that Tacitus mentions in his Germania as being populated by the Inguieonnic tribes. A later Danish chronicler lists Ingui was one of three brothers that the Danish tribes descended from. The strophe also states that "then he (Ingui) went back over the waves, his wagon behind him" which could connect Ingui to earlier conceptions of the wagon processions of Nerthus, and the later Scandinavian conceptions of Freyr's wagon journeys. Ingui is mentioned also in some later Anglo-Saxon literature under varying forms of his name, such as "For what doth Ingeld have to do with Christ", and the variants used in Beowulf to designate the kings as 'leader of the friends of Ing'. The compound Ingui-Frea (OE) and Yngvi-Freyr (ON) likely refer to the connection between the god and the Germanic kings' role as priests during the sacrifices in the pagan period, as Frea and Freyr are titles meaning 'Lord'. The Swedish royal dynasty was known as the Ynglings from their descent from Yngvi-Freyr. This is supported by Tacitus, who wrote about the Germans: "In their ancient songs, their only way of remembering or recording the past they celebrate an earth-born god Tuisco, and his son Mannus, as the origin of their race, as their founders. To Mannus they assign three sons, from whose names, they say, the coast tribes are called Ingaevones; those of the interior, Herminones; all the rest, Istaevones". Archaeological record Rällinge statuette In 1904, a Viking Age statuette identified as a depiction of Freyr was discovered on the farm Rällinge in Lunda parish in the province of Södermanland, Sweden. The depiction features a cross-legged seated, bearded male with an erect penis. He is wearing a pointed cap and stroking his triangular beard. The statue is 9 centimeters tall and is displayed at the Swedish Museum of National Antiquities.[9] Skog Church Tapestry A part of the Swedish 12th century Skog Church Tapestry depicts three figures that has been interpreted as allusions to Odin, Thor, and Freyr,[10] but also as the three Scandinavian holy kings Canute, Eric and Olaf. The figures coincide with 11th century descriptions of statue arrangements recorded by Adam of Bremen at the Temple at Uppsala and written accounts of the gods during the late Viking Age. The tapestry is originally from Hälsingland, Sweden but is now housed at the Swedish Museum of National Antiquitie. Gullgubber Small pieces of gold foil featuring engravings dating from the Migration Period into the early Viking Age (known as gullgubber) have been discovered in various locations in Scandinavia, at one site almost 2,500. The foil pieces have been found largely on the sites of buildings, only rarely in graves. The figures are sometimes single, occasionally an animal, sometimes a man and a woman with a leafy bough between them, facing or embracing one another. The human figures are almost always clothed and are sometimes depicted with their knees bent. Scholar Hilda Ellis Davidson says that it has been suggested that the figures are taking part in a dance, and that they may have been connected with weddings, as well as linked to the Vanir group of gods, representing the notion of a divine marriage, such as in the Poetic Edda poem Skírnismál; the coming together of Gerðr and Freyr.[11] Toponyms Norway * Freysakr ("Freyr's field") - name of two old farms in Gol and Torpa. * Freyshof ("Freyr's temple") - name of two old farms in Hole and Trøgstad. * Freysland ("Freyr's land/field") - name of six old farms in Feda, Halse, Førde, Sogndal, Søgne and Torpa. * Freyslíð ("Freyr's hill") - name of two old farms in Lunner and Torpa. * Freysnes ("Freyr's headland") - name of an old farm in Sandnes. * Freyssetr ("Freyr's farm") - name of two old farms in Masfjorden and Soknedal. * Freyssteinn ("Freyr's stone") - name of an old farm in Lista. * Freysteigr ("Freyr's field") - name of an old farm in Ramnes. * Freysvík ("Freyr's inlet/bay") - name of two old farms in Fresvik and Ullensvang. * Freysvin ("Freyr's meadow") - name of four old farms in Hole, Lom, Sunnylven and Østre Gausdal. * Freysvǫllr ("Freyr's field") - name of an old farm in Sør-Odal. * Freysþveit ("Freyr's thwaite") - name of an old farm in Hedrum.

Father: Njord of the Vanir Mother: The sister of Njord Wife: Gerd Gymesdatter Son: Fjolne There seems to be two Freyr, the one that is the son of Njördr and the one that is the son of Odin. They're mixed up most of the time. ---- Yngvi, Ingui or Ing appears to have been the older name for the god Freyr (originally an epitheton, meaning "lord") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi ---- Freyr (sometimes anglicized Frey)[1] is one of the most important gods of Norse paganism. Freyr was highly associated with agriculture, weather and, as a phallic fertility god, Freyr "bestows peace and pleasure on mortals". Freyr, sometimes referred to as Yngvi-Freyr, was especially associated with Sweden and seen as an ancestor of the Swedish royal house. In the Icelandic books the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Freyr is presented as one of the Vanir, the son of the sea god Njörðr, brother of the goddess Freyja. The gods gave him Álfheimr, the realm of the Elves, as a teething present. He rides the shining dwarf-made boar Gullinbursti and possesses the ship Skíðblaðnir which always has a favorable breeze and can be folded together and carried in a pouch when it is not being used. He has the servants Skírnir, Byggvir and Beyla. The most extensive surviving Freyr myth relates Freyr's falling in love with the giantess Gerðr. Eventually, she becomes his wife but first Freyr has to give away his magic sword which fights on its own "if wise be he who wields it". Although deprived of this weapon, Freyr defeats the giant Beli with an antler. However, lacking his sword, Freyr will be killed by the fire giant Surtr at Ragnarök, the end of the world. .... Snorri Sturluson starts his epic history of the kings of Norway with Ynglinga saga, a euhemerized account of the Norse gods. Here Odin and the Æsir are men from Asia who gain power through their prowess in war and Odin's skills. But when Odin attacks the Vanir he bites off more than he can chew and peace is negotiated after a destructive and indecisive war. Hostages are exchanged to seal the peace deal and the Vanir send Freyr and Njörðr to live with the Æsir. At this point the saga, like Lokasenna, mentions that incest was practised among the Vanir. "While Njord was with the Vanaland people he had taken his own sister in marriage, for that was allowed by their law; and their children were Frey and Freya. But among the Asaland people it was forbidden to intermarry with such near relations." Odin makes Njörðr and Freyr priests of sacrifices and | Njordson, king in Sweden, Yngve-Frey (I2214)
