Notes:

Yngve Alreksson, King of the Swedes was the son of Alrekr Agnason, King of the Swedes and Dageiðr Dagsdóttir.2 King of the Swedes at Uppsala.2 Yngve Alreksson, King of the Swedes was a great warrior, always victorious; handsome, expert in all exercises, strong and very sharp in battle, generous and full of mirth; so that he was both renowned and beloved.2 He succeeded his father, with his brother Alf, to the kingly power in Sweden.2 He witnessed the death of Álfr Alreksson, King of the Swedes; Killed in a fight by his brother over his wife, Queen Bera.2 Yngve Alreksson, King of the Swedes died. He often sat long in the evening at the drinking-table; but Alf, his brother, a dour man, went willingly to bed very early. Queen Bera, Alf's wife, sat often till late in the evening, and she and Yngve conversed together for their amusement; but Alf soon told her that she should not sit up so late in the evening, but should go first to bed, so as not to waken him. She replied, that happy would be the woman who had Yngve instead of Alf for her husband; and as she often repeated the same, he became very angry. One evening Alf went into the hall, where Yngve and Bera sat on the high seat speaking to each other. Yngve had a short sword upon his knees, and the guests were so drunk that they did not observe the king coming in. King Alf went straight to the high seat, drew a sword from under his cloak, and pierced his brother Yngve through and through. Yngve leaped up, drew his short sword, and gave Alf his death-wound; so that both fell dead on the floor.2 . Yngve, and his brother Alf, were buried under mounds in Fyrisvold.

Notes:

Jörundr Yngvesson, King of the Swedes was the son of Yngve Alreksson, King of the Swedes.1 Jörundr Yngvesson, King of the Swedes recovered the lands of his father from Hake, the usurper.1 He and his brother proceeded up the Maelare lake, and advanced towards Upsal against King Hake, who came out against them on the Fyrisvoid with far fewer people. There was a great battle, in which King Hake went forward so bravely that he killed all who were nearest to him, and at last killed King Eric, and cut down the banner of the two brothers. King Jorund with all his men fled to their ships. King Hake had been so grievously wounded that he saw his days could not be long; so he ordered a warship which he had to be loaded with his dead men and their weapons, and to be taken out to the sea; the tiller to be shipped, and the sails hoisted. Then he set fire to some tar-wood, and ordered a pile to be made over it in the ship. Hake was almost if not quite dead, when he was laid upon this pile of his. The wind was blowing off the land -- the ship flew, burning in clear flame, out between the islets, and into the ocean. Great was the fame of this deed in after times.1 He died. Though ruler of a country; he was often in the summer out on war expeditions. One summer he went with his forces to Denmark; and having plundered all around in Jutland, he went into Lymfjord in autumn, and marauded there also. While he was thus lying in Oddesund with his people, King Gylog of Halogaland, a son of King Gudlog, of whom mention is made before, came up with a great force, and gave battle to Jorund. When the country people saw this they swarmed from all parts towards the battle, in great ships and small; and Jorund was overpowered by the multitude, and his ships cleared of their men. He sprang overboard, but was made prisoner and carried to the land. Gylog ordered a gallows to be erected, led Jorund to it, and had him hanged there. So ended his life.
