Snorri Sturluson relates that Eysteinn ruled Sweden at the time when Hrólf Kraki died in Lejre. Snorri Sturluson (1178 – September 23, 1241) was an Icelandic historian poet and politician Hrólfr Kraki, Hroðulf, Rolfo, Roluo, Rolf Krage (early 6th century) was a Legendary Danish king who appears both in Lejre is a town and municipality ( Danish, kommune) on the island of Zealand in east Denmark. It was a troubled time when many seakings ravaged the Swedish shores. One of those kings was named Sölve and he was from Jutland (but according to Historia Norwegiae he was Geatish, see below). This article is about the region of Denmark. For the World War I naval battle see Battle of Jutland. Historia Norwegiæ is a short history of the Norwegian past written by a Monk around the second half of the 12th century Geats, Geatas, Gautar, Goths, Gotar, Gøtar, Götar were a North Germanic tribe inhabiting Götaland At this time Sölve was pillaging in the Baltic Sea and so he arrived in Lofond (probably the island of Lovön or the Lagunda Hundred), where Eysteinn was at a feast. The Baltic Sea is a Brackish inland sea located in Northern Europe, from 53°N to 66°N Latitude and from 20°E to 26°E Longitude. Lovön is an island located in the Swedish lake Mälaren in Ekerö Municipality of Stockholm County. It was night-time and Sölve and his men surrounded the house and set it on fire burning everyone inside to death. Then Sölve arrived at Sigtuna (Old Sigtuna) and ordered the Swedes to accept him as king. Fornsigtuna ( forn means ancient) Old Sigtun, Sithun, Sign(hildsberg or Signesberg ( is located in the parish of The Swedes refused and gathered an army that fought against Sölve and his men, but they lost after eleven days. The Swedes had to accept him as king for a while until they rebelled and killed him.

Snorri then quotes a stanza from Þjóðólfr of Hvinir's Ynglingatal:

Veit ek Eysteins enda fólginn lokins lífs á Lofundi; ok sikling með Svíum kváðu Jótska menn inni brenna. Þjóðólfr of Hvinir ( Thjodolf) was a Norwegian Skald, active around the year 900 Controversy The historicity of the matter in Ynglingatal has been a contention among scholars since the 19th century Ok bitsótt í brandnói hlíðar þangs á hilmi rann, þá er timbrfastr toptar nökkvi, flotna fullr um fylki brann. [1]

For a long time none could tell How Eystein died -- but now I know That at Lofond the hero fell; The branch of Odin was laid low, Was burnt by Solve's Jutland men. The raging tree-devourer fire Rushed on the monarch in its ire; First fell the castle timbers, then The roof-beams -- Eystein's funeral pyre. [2]

The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation (continuing after Eadgils, called Adils or Athisl):

Hic [Adils vel Athisl] genuit Eustein, quem Gautones in domo quadam obtrusum cum suis vivum incenderunt. Historia Norwegiæ is a short history of the Norwegian past written by a Monk around the second half of the 12th century Eadgils, Adils, Aðils, Adillus, Aðísl at Uppsölum, Athisl, Athislus, Adhel was a Semi-legendary king Hujus filius Ynguar [. . . ][1].

He [Adils] became sire to Øystein, whom the Götar thrust into a house and incinerated alive there with his men. His son Yngvar, [. . . ][2]

Thorsteins saga Víkingssonar makes Eysteinn the father of Anund and grandfather of Ingjald and consequently skips Ingvar's generation. Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar or The Saga of Thorstein Viking's Son is a Legendary saga taking place in the 7th century and it is about the father of Brøt-Anundr ( Old East Norse) or Braut-Önundr ( Old West Norse) (meaning trail-blazer Anund or Anund the land-clearer) was a legendary Ingjaldr hinn illráði or Ingjald illråde ("ill-ruler" was a legendary Swedish king of the House of Ynglings Ingjald may have ruled sometime It adds a second son to Eysteinn named Olaf, who was the king of Fjordane in Norway. is a county (fylke in Norway, bordering Møre og Romsdal, Oppland, Buskerud, and Hordaland.
