King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson was the son of Ingjaldr Illráda Önundsson, King of the Swedes and Gauthildar Algautsdóttir.1 King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson was forced to leave Nerike, when the Swedes heard he was there, and he went on westwards, through the forest, to a river which comes from the north and falls into the Venner lake, and is called Klar river. There they sat themselves down, turned to and cleared the woods, burnt, and then settled there, and soon there were great districts, and altogether they were called Vermeland.1 He was raised in the care of his foster-father Bove, in West Gotland, where he was brought up along with Saxe, Bove's son, who had the surname of Flette.1 He was given the name "Tree Feller" by the Swedes who laughed at his proceedings, that he was clearing forests instead of ruling.1 He attracted a great many of his countrymen, who were fleeing Sweden on account of Ivar, and they settled in the bountiful Varmeland, but in so great a number that the land could no longer support them, and they blamed him.1 He was went with the men who chose to follow him, when heard of his father's end, to Nerike; for all the Swedish community rose with one accord to drive out Ingjald's family and all his friends.1 King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson also went by the name of Olaf "Tree Feller".1 He was is said to have sacrificed his own people in time of famine. He married Sólveig Hálfdansdóttir of Solør, daughter of Hálfdan Guldtand Solvarsson of Solør.1 King of the Swedes at Uppsala, Sweden, between 620 and 630.2 King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson was the predecessor of Ivarr Vídfadmi Hálfdanarson, King of the Danes and Swedes; King of the Swedes.2 King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson died. Then there came dear times and famine, which they ascribed to their king; as the Swedes used always to reckon good or bad crops for or against their kings. The Swedes took it amiss that Olaf was sparing in his sacrifices, and believed the dear times must proceed from this cause. The Swedes therefore gathered together troops, made an expedition against King Olaf, surrounded his house and burnt him in it, giving him to Odin as a sacrifice for good crops. This happened at the Venner lake.
