Ingjald "Illrada (the Wicked)" Onundsson, King of Sweden, b. ca. 544 in Sweden, d. 623 in Sweden

Father: Onund "the Land Clearer" Yngvarsson, King of Upsal, b. ca. 521 in Sweden, d. 565 in Sweden
When Ingjald was a boy of about six years old, he engaged in warplay with Alf, son of King Yngvar of Fjadryndaland district. Ingjald was not as stong as Alf, which was made known to his foster father, Svipdag, by Svipdag's son, Gautvid. The next day Svipdag gave Ingjald a roasted wolf heart to eat. Ingjald became a most ferocious person and of the worst disposition.

After becoming king, Ingjald invited seven district kings to his heirship feast along with their earls and other men of consequence; only Granmar did not attend. After the feast and Ingjald had vowed to increase his domains by one half toward the four corners of the earth, Ingjald had Svipdags's sons, Gautvid and Hylvid, set fire to the feasting hall and kill any who tried to escape. Ingjald took for himself the lands those kings had possessed and appointed new district kings over them. This was the first time since Odin divided the land among his high priests that Sweden was, for the most part, united.

Svipdag "the blind" and his sons died in a war with Kings Granmar, Hjorvard and Hogne. Ingjald and his men were forced to retreat after the district kings had deserted them. Later a treaty was made between Ingjald and the three kings which was supposed to last as long as they lived. The following spring Ingjald burned Kings Granmar and Hjorvard in their house at a feast on Sile Island.

Ingjald's daughter, Asa, married King Gudrod of Scania whom she later killed. Gudrod's brother, Halfdan, was the father of Ivar Vidfadme.

King Egil had to deal with his own "Sparticus" when a slave named Tunne, who had been the treasurer of King On escaped with much stolen treasure. Tunne began pillaging and killing with the men who followed him. Finally King Egil enlisted the help of King Frode "the Bold" of Sealand in Denmark. Egil and Frode defeated Tunne and remained friends afterwards.

King On lost the kingdom several times to Denmark but recovered it by outliving the Danish kings. He sacrificed his sons to Odin for long life. The Swedes would not allow him to sacrifice his tenth son so King On died. When a man dies of extreme old age without pain, it is called On's sickness.

Father: Yngve Alricsson, King of Upsal, b. ca. 265 in Sweden, d. 300 in Sweden
Jorund and his brother, Eric, stayed on their warships while Hugleik was king and were great warriors. They marauded in Denmark where they fought and captured King Gudlog of Halogaland. They hanged him at Stomones and allowed his men to raise a mound over him.

Later Hake was king in Sweden so Jorund and Eric raised an army and attacked Upsal. Hake, a great warrior himself, went to meet them and had a great battle. Eric was killed and Hake was mortally wounded. King Hake was the first to be burned on his ship. This act was considered so great it was later copied by the Vikings.

Yngve was a great warrior and always victorious. He was handsome, expert in all excercises, stong and very sharp in battle, generous and full of mirth so that he was both reknowned and beloved. He ruled together with his brother, Alf, who was a silent, harsh, and unfriendly man who sat at home and never went out on war expeditions.

After Yngve and Alf died, Alf's son, Hugleik, became king because Yngve's sons were still children. King Hugleik was killed along with two of his sons by King Hake.

Mother: Gerd Gymersdotter, b. 057 BC in Sweden

Children:

"Yngve" Frey, King of Upsal, b. ca. 060 BC, d. 010 BC in Upsal, Sweden

Father: Njord "The Rich" King of Upsal, b. ca. 080 BC in Noatun, Sweden, d. 020 BC in Upsal, Sweden
Yngve Frey first established Upsal as the capital of Sweden. The times were prosperous during Yngve Frey's reign, which made the people believe that he controlled the seasons and the weather. When he died, his earls built a mound over him and kept his death a secret for three years. When the people found out that the King had died and the harvest was still good, they believed it would remain so as long as his body remained in Sweden. Therefore, his body was not burned as the other kings were. The Northmen made sacrifices to him for a good harvest for hundreds of years after.

It is from the jul (Yule=Christmas time) festival to Frey and his twin sister, Freya, that we get our tradition of the New Year's Resolution. A boar was brought into the feasting hall where the men would lay hands on it and make oaths and promises about what they would do or accomplish in the coming year. Then the boar was sacrificed, cooked, and eaten. No one knows the full extent of the ceremonies for Frey. The Roman historians simply stated that they involved a great deal of sexual acts and were too vulgar to detail.

Spouse: Gerd Gymersdotter, b. 057 BC in Sweden

Father: Gymis
Mother: Orboda
Married 040 BC in Sweden.

Children:

Njord "The Rich" King of Upsal, b. ca. 080 BC in Noatun, Sweden, d. 020 BC in Upsal, Sweden

Father: Yngve, King of Turkey, b. ca. 100 BC
Njord and his son, Frey, were sent to Asaland in a hostage exchange with Odin. He later made them priests of the sacrifice. After Odin made himself ruler of Sweden and Denmark, Njord and Frey became Diar (gods) of the Vanir (Swedes).

Njord had married his sister, which was permitted by the Vanir, but not by the Asir. He took another wife, Skade, but she missed her mountain home and eventually left Njord's sea-side residence to return to the mountains. Njord and Skade had no children; Frey and Freya are the twin children of his sister.

Children:

Spouse: Skade

Married.

Yngve, King of Turkey, b. ca. 100 BC

There is some speculation that Yngve, rather than being the father of Njord, is actually another son of Odin. Or possibly he is both. No information has been found at this time to support either claim.

Children:

Gymis

Spouse: Orboda
