Notes:

Braut-Önundr Yngvarsson, King of the Swedes was the son of Yngvarr Eysteinsson, King of the Swedes.1 Braut-Önundr Yngvarsson, King of the Swedes succeeded his father to the kingdom at Uppsala.1 He bestowed great diligence and expense on opening the woods and cultivating the cleared land. He made roads through the desert forests; and thus cleared land is found all through the forest country, and great districts are settled. In this way extensive tracts of land were brought into cultivation, for there were country people enough to cultivate the land. Onund had roads made through all Sweden, both through forests and morasses, and also over mountains; and he was therefore called Onund Roadmaker.1 He went with his army to Estland to avenge his father, and landed and ravaged the country round far and wide, and returned with a great booty in autumn to Sweden.1 Braut-Önundr Yngvarsson, King of the Swedes also went by the name of Anund "the Cultivator". He applied for his son, Ingjald, to King Algaut, of Gotland, for his daughter Gauthild.1 He died. King Onund one autumn, travelling between his mansion-houses, came over a road called Himmenheath, where there are some narrow mountain valleys, with high mountains on both sides. There was heavy rain at the time, and before there had been snow on the mountains. A landslip of clay and stones came down upon King Onund and his people, and there he met his death, and many with him.

There a king was reigning called Geirthjof, and his wife was called Alof the Great; but nothing is told of their children. The king was not at home, and Adils and his men ran up to the king's house and plundered it, while others drove a herd of cattle down to the strand. The herd was attended by slave-people, churls, and girls, and they took all of them together. Among them was a remarkably beautiful girl called Yrsa, whom he took back with him to Sweden, but not as a slave, for it was soon observed that she was intelligent, spoke well, and in all respects well behaved.1 He had many disputes with a king called Ole of the Uplands (his Uncle, Ali, of Uppland in Sweden); and these kings had a battle on the ice of the Venner lake, in which King Ole fell, and King Adils won the battle (There is a long account of this battle in the "Skjoldunga Saga") at Värmland, Sweden.1,2 He was long time king, became very rich, and went also for several summers on viking expeditions.1 He was attacked by King Halfdan's son Helge, who ruled at that time over Leidre, who came to Sweden with so great an army, that King Adils saw no other way than to flee at once.1 He succeeded his father to kingdom.1 He married Yrsa of Saxland, daughter of Helgi Halfdansson, King of the Danes and Álöf hin Ríka of Saxland; Her 1st.1,3 Adils Óttarson, King of the Swedes was the successor of Óttarr Vendilkráku Egilsson, King of the Swedes; King of the Swedes.1,4 King of the Swedes at Uppsala, Sweden, between 460 and 505.1,4 Adils Óttarson, King of the Swedes died at Uppsala, Sweden. King Adils was a great lover of good horses, and had the best horses of these times. One of his horses was called Slongve, and another Raven. This horse he had taken from Ole on his death, and bred from him a horse, also called Raven, which the king sent in a present to King Godgest in Halogaland. When Godgest mounted the horse he was not able to manage him, and fell off and was killed. This accident happened at Omd in Halogaland. King Adils was at a Disa sacrifice; and as he rode around the Disa hall his horse' Raven stumbled and fell, and the king was thrown forward upon his head, and his skull was split, and his brains dashed out against a stone. Adils died at Upsal, and was buried there in a mound. The Swedes called him a great king.
