  • Notes 
    • Agni Dagsson, King of the Swedes was the son of Dagr Spaka Dygvason, King of the Swedes.1 Agni Dagsson, King of the Swedes succeeded his father, a powerful and celebrated man, expert, and exercised in all feats.1 King of the Swedes at Uppsala, Sweden.1 He married Skjálf Frostasdóttir, daughter of Frosti of Finland; Captured in marauding expedition.2 Agni Dagsson, King of the Swedes married N. N. (?).1 Agni Dagsson, King of the Swedes married the Finnish princess, Skjalf, whom he'd taken from the hall of her father, Froste, and at his wedding party he took the gold ornament of his ancestor, Visbur, and put it around his neck.1 He died. Now when King Agne had got drank, Skjalv bade him take care of his gold ornament which he had about his neck; therefore he took hold of the ornament, and bound it fast about his neck before he went to sleep. The land-tent stood at the wood side, and a high tree over the tent protected it against the heat of the sun. Now when King Agne was asleep, Skjalv took a noose, and fastened it under the ornament. Thereupon her men threw down the tent-poles, cast the loop of the noose up in the branches of the tree, and hauled upon it, so that the king was hanged close under the branches and died; and Skjalv with her men ran down to their ships, and rowed away.1
      . King Agne was buried upon the spot, which was afterwards called Agnefet; and it lies on the east side of the Tauren, and west of Stoksund.
