This article deals with the legendary Swedish king Ingvar. For a treatment of the name, see Ingvar (name). The name Ingvar is an old Norse first name for males common in Scandinavia, meaning protected by Ing (i

Ingvar or Yngvar Harra, Proto-Norse *Ingu-Hariz (d. Proto-Norse (also Proto-Scandinavian, Primitive Norse, Proto-Nordic, Ancient Nordic, Old Scandinavian and Proto-North Germanic early 7th century) was the son of Östen and reclaimed the Swedish throne for the House of Yngling after the Swedes had rebelled against Sölvi. The 7th century is the period from 601 to 700 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian / Common Era. Eysteinn (d ca 600 was the son of Eadgils and Yrsa of Saxony. Ynglings were the oldest known Scandinavian dynasty It can refer to the following clans: The Scylfings ( Old Norse: Skilfingar) the Sölve was a Sea-king who conquered Sweden by burning the Swedish king Östen to death inside his Hall.

Snorri Sturluson relates in his Ynglinga saga that King Ingvar, Östen's son, was a great warrior who often spent time patrolling the shores of his kingdom fighting Danes and pirates from the east. Snorri Sturluson (1178 – September 23, 1241) was an Icelandic historian poet and politician The Ynglinga saga was originally written in Old Norse by the Icelandic poet Snorri Sturluson about 1225. King Ingvar finally came to a peace agreement with the Danes and could take care of the Estonian pirates. The Oeselians (or Osilians) were a historical Finnic people inhabiting Saaremaa ( Latin: Oesel or Osilia) in Estonia

He consequently started pillaging in Estonia in retribution, and one summer he arrived at a place called Stein (see also Sveigder). Sveigðir, Sveigder or Swegde was a Swedish king of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. The Estonians (sýslu kind) assembled a great army in the interior and attacked King Ingvar in a great battle. The Estonian forces were too powerful and Ingvar fell and the Swedish forces retreated. Ingvar was buried in a mound at a place called Stone or Hill fort (at Steini) on the shores of Estonia (Aðalsýsla). A hill fort is a fortified refuge or defended settlement

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

Þat stökk upp, at Yngvari Sýslu kind um sóat hafði, ok ljóshömum við lagar hjarta her Eistneskr at hilmi vá, ok austmarr jöfri sœnskum Gýmis ljóð at gamni kveðr. 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 [1]

Certain it is the Estland foe The fair-haired Swedish king laid low. On Estland's strand, o'er Swedish graves, The East Sea sings her song of waves; King Yngvar's dirge is ocean's roar Resounding on the rock-ribbed shore. [2]

The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation (continuing after Eysteinn):

Hujus filius Ynguar, qui cognominatus est canutus, in expeditione occisus est in quadam insula Baltici maris, quæ ab indigenis Eysysla[1] vocatur. Historia Norwegiæ is a short history of the Norwegian past written by a Monk around the second half of the 12th century Eysteinn (d ca 600 was the son of Eadgils and Yrsa of Saxony.
