Øystein Halvdansson / Eystein Halfdansson / Eysteinn Hálfdansson
(In English: Eystein Halfdansson)
King in part of Norway: Romerike / Vestfold
http://lind.no/nor/index.asp?lang=gb&emne=asatru&person=%D8ystein%20Halvdansson
Øystein Halvdansson (levde i tiden rundt 730 e. Kr.) var, i henhold til Snorre Sturlassons Ynglingesagaen, småkonge over Vestfold og Romerike. Han var sønn av Halvdan Kvitbein og Åsa Øysteinsdotter og ble gift med Hild Eiriksdotter, datter til Eirik Agnarsson, småkonge i Vestfold. Deres sønn var Halvdan Øysteinsson, også kalt for den den gavmilde.
Øystein arvet av sin far Solør, store deler av Hedmark, Toten, Hadeland og en del av Vestfold. Etter at svigerfaren Eirik Agnarsson døde sønnesløs arvet Øystein også resten av Vestfold.
Snorre forteller at Øystein dro på plyndringsferd til Varna og tok med seg alt av husdyr og verdisaker. Kongen av Varna var på denne tiden var Skjøld som etter sigende var «en stor trollmann». Da Skjøld kom til stranda og så Øysteins seil vinket han med kappen sin og blåste inn i den. Trolldommen fikk bommen på Øysteins skip til å svinge og slo ham over bord. I sjøen druknet Øystein og det ble hans bane. Liket ble derimot berget og ført til Borre, hvor det ble hauglagt.
Druknet, begravet på Borrestranda (Hauglagt)
Den eldste Noregshistoria frå 1170 fortel at Øystein hadde tilnamnet fjert

Eystein Halfdansson (Old Norse: Eysteinn Hálfdansson) was the son of Halfdan Hvitbeinn of the House of Yngling according to Heimskringla. He inherited the throne of Romerike and Vestfold.
His wife was Hild, the daughter of the king of Vestfold, Erik Agnarsson. Erik had no son, so Eystein inherited Vestfold.
Eystein died while pillaging in Varna. King Skjöld of Varna, a great warlock, arrived at the beach and saw the sails of Eystein's ships. He waved his cloak and blew into it which caused a boom of one ship to swing and hit Eystein so that he fell overboard and drowned. His body was salvaged and buried in a mound. Eystein was succeeded by his son Halfdan the Mild.

The Ynglings were the oldest known Scandinavian dynasty. It can refer to the following clans:
The Scylfings (Old Norse: Skilfingar), the semi-legendary royal Swedish clan during the Age of Migrations, with kings such as Eadgils, Onela and Ohthere. When Beowulf and Ynglingatal were composed sometime in the eighth-tenth centuries, the respective scop and skald expected his audience to have a great deal of background information about these kings, which is shown in the allusiveness of the references.
The Fairhair dynasty, descending from the kings of Oppland, Norway. According to surviving early sources, such as Ynglingatal and Íslendingabók, these kings were descended from the Swedish Scylfings of Uppland, Sweden.
The House of Munsö, a Swedish dynasty. The earliest kings of this dynasty that historians generally agree are historical are Eric the Victorious and Olof Skötkonung.
Some early kings were probably mythical, whereas others probably existed in real life. Especially, Egil, Ottar, Ale and Adils are mentioned in several sources and are very likely to have been real kings
In the Scandinavian sources they are the descendants of Yngvi-Frey of Vanaheim. Yngling means descendant of Frey, and in the Gesta Danorum of Saxo Grammaticus they are called the sons of Frey.
Several of these kings appear in Beowulf: Eadgils (Adils), Onela (Ale), and Ohthere (Ottar Vendelkråka), but here they are called Scylfings (see the Beowulf section below). Snorri Sturluson hints at a less divine origin in Skáldskaparmál for this dynasty: One war-king was named Skelfir; and his house is called the House of Skilfings: his kindred is in the Eastern Region (Sweden is the eastern part of Scandinavia, and the Swedish kings could be called east kings).
Another origin for the name skilfing is possible: Snorri described Erik and Alrik, the sons of Skjalf to be the de facto ancestors of this Norse clan.
The kings who resided at Upsal had been the supreme chiefs over the whole Swedish dominions until the death of Agne, when, as before related, the kingdom came to be divided between brothers (Alrek and Erik). After that time the dominions and kingly powers were spread among the branches of the family as these increased; but some kings cleared great tracts of forest-land, and settled them, and thereby increased their domains
From Sweden to Norway
According to Snorri Sturluson, the dynasty led the settlement of the Swedish provinces and established themselves as the kings of its provinces, accepting the overlordship of the Swedish king at Uppsala, until the dynasty all but exterminated itself with Ingjald Ill-Ruler and his downfall. A survivor Olof Trätälja was the ancestor of the Norwegian branch
However, both Snorri (as in the earlier quote) and Saxo described the clan as remaining in Sweden after this date.
Saxo on the Battle of Bråvalla (ca 750):
Now the bravest of the Swedes were these: Arwakki, Keklu-Karl (Kelke-Karl), Krok the Peasant, (from Akr), Gudfast and Gummi from Gislamark. These were kindred of the god Frey, and most faithful witnesses to the gods. Ingi (Yngwe) also, and Oly, Alver, Folki, all sons of Elrik (Alrek), embraced the service of Ring (Sigurd Ring); they were men ready of hand, quick in counsel, and very close friends of Ring. They likewise held the god Frey to be the founder of their race. Amongst these from the town of Sigtun (Old Sigtuna) also came Sigmund, a champion advocate, versed in making contracts of sale and purchase; besides him Frosti surnamed Bowl: allied with him was Alf the Lofty (Proud?) from the district of Upsala (Old Uppsala); this man was a swift spear-thrower, and used to go in the front of the battle.
Moreover, both in Icelandic sources and in the Gesta Danorum, king Sigurd Ring would become the ancestor of the houses of Ragnar Lodbrok and would thus be the semi-legendary ancestor of later Swedish and Danish royal houses. (See the House of Munsö.)

After Halfdan Whiteleg's death, according to the sagas, his son Eystein ruled Vestfold until a rival king named Skjold used his magic powers to have Eystein knocked overboard during a sailing expedition. Eystein's body was recovered from the sea and buried with great ceremony.

51. OF KING EYSTEIN'S DEATH.
Eystein, Halfdan Hvitbein's son, became king after in Raumarike
and Westfold. He was married to Hild, a daughter of Eric
Agnarsson, who was king in Westfold. Agnar, Eric's father, was a
son of Sigtryg, king in the Vend district. King Eric had no son,
and died while King Halfdan Hvitbein was still in life. The
father and son, Halfdan and Eystein, then took possession of the
whole of Westfold, which Eystein ruled over as long as he lived.
At that time there lived at Varna a king called Skjold, who was a
great warlock. King Eystein went with some ships of war to
Varna, plundered there, and carried away all he could find of
clothes or other valuables, and of peasants' stock, and killed
cattle on the strand for provision, and then went off. King
Skjold came to the strand with his army, just as Eystein was at
such a distance over the fjord that King Skjold could only see
his sails. Then he took his cloak, waved it, and blew into it.
King Eystein was sitting at the helm as they sailed in past
Jarls, and another ship was sailing at the side of his, when
there came a stroke of a wave, by which the boom of the other
ship struck the king and threw him overboard, which proved his
death. His men fished up his body, and it was carried into
Borre, where a mound was thrown up over it, out towards the sea
at Raden, near Vodle. So says Thjodolf: --
"King Eystein sat upon the poop
Of his good ship: with sudden swoop
The swinging boom dashed him to hell,
And fathoms deep the hero fell
Beneath the brine. The fury whirl
Of Loke, Tempest's brother's girl,
Grim Hel, clutched his soul away;
And now where Vodle's ocean bay
Receives the ice-cold stream, the grave
Of Eystein stands -- the good, the brave!"

After Halfdan Whiteleg's death, according to the sagas, his son Eystein ruled Vestfold until a rival king named Skjold used his magic powers to have Eystein knocked overboard during a sailing expedition. Eystein's body was recovered from the sea and buried with great ceremony.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eystein_Halfdansson -------------------- Eystein Halfdansson (Old Norse: Eysteinn Hálfdansson) was the son of Halfdan Hvitbeinn of the House of Yngling according to Heimskringla. He inherited the throne of Romerike and Vestfold.
His wife was Hild, the daughter of the king of Vestfold, Erik Agnarsson. Erik had no son, so Eystein inherited Vestfold.
Eystein died while pillaging in Varna. King Skjöld of Varna, a great warlock, arrived at the beach and saw the sails of Eystein's ships. He waved his cloak and blew into it which caused a boom of one ship to swing and hit Eystein so that he fell overboard and drowned. His body was salvaged and buried in a mound. Eystein was succeeded by his son Halfdan the Mild.

51. OF KING EYSTEIN'S DEATH.
Eystein, Halfdan Hvitbein's son, became king after in Raumarike
and Westfold. He was married to Hild, a daughter of Eric
Agnarsson, who was king in Westfold. Agnar, Eric's father, was a
son of Sigtryg, king in the Vend district. King Eric had no son,
and died while King Halfdan Hvitbein was still in life. The
father and son, Halfdan and Eystein, then took possession of the
whole of Westfold, which Eystein ruled over as long as he lived.
At that time there lived at Varna a king called Skjold, who was a
great warlock. King Eystein went with some ships of war to
Varna, plundered there, and carried away all he could find of
clothes or other valuables, and of peasants' stock, and killed
cattle on the strand for provision, and then went off. King
Skjold came to the strand with his army, just as Eystein was at
such a distance over the fjord that King Skjold could only see
his sails. Then he took his cloak, waved it, and blew into it.
King Eystein was sitting at the helm as they sailed in past
Jarls, and another ship was sailing at the side of his, when
there came a stroke of a wave, by which the boom of the other
ship struck the king and threw him overboard, which proved his
death. His men fished up his body, and it was carried into
Borre, where a mound was thrown up over it, out towards the sea
at Raden, near Vodle. So says Thjodolf: --
"King Eystein sat upon the poop
Of his good ship: with sudden swoop
The swinging boom dashed him to hell,
And fathoms deep the hero fell
Beneath the brine. The fury whirl
Of Loke, Tempest's brother's girl,
Grim Hel, clutched his soul away;
And now where Vodle's ocean bay
Receives the ice-cold stream, the grave
Of Eystein stands -- the good, the brave!"

Øystein Halvdansson (levde i tiden rundt 730 e. Kr.) var, i henhold til Snorre Sturlassons Ynglingesagaen, småkonge over Vestfold og Romerike. Han var sønn av Halvdan Kvitbein og Åsa Øysteinsdotter og ble gift med Hild Eiriksdotter, datter til Eirik Agnarsson, småkonge i Vestfold. Deres sønn var Halvdan Øysteinsson, også kalt for den den gavmilde.
Øystein arvet av sin far Solør, store deler av Hedmark, Toten, Hadeland og en del av Vestfold. Etter at svigerfaren Eirik Agnarsson døde sønnesløs arvet Øystein også resten av Vestfold.

Da Skjøld kom til stranda og så Øysteins seil vinket han med kappen sin og blåste inn i den. Trolldommen fikk bommen på Øysteins skip til å svinge og slo ham over bord. I sjøen druknet Øystein og det ble hans bane. Liket ble derimot berget og ført til Borre, hvor det ble hauglagt.
