  • Notes 
    • King of Raumerike Hálfdan Hvítbeinn Óláfsson was the son of King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson and Sólveig Hálfdansdóttir of Solør.1 King of Raumerike Hálfdan Hvítbeinn Óláfsson was brought up in Soleyar, in the house of his mother's brother Solve.1 King at Raumerike.1 He subdued Soleyar (his foster father's homeland), and then proceeded with his army into Raumarike, plundered there, and laid that district also in subjection by force of arms.1 He subdued a great part of Hedemark, Toten, Hadeland, and much of Westfold.1 He took possession of Värmland after his brothers death, raised scatt (tax) from it, and placed earls over it as long as he lived.1 He was captured by the Swedes who'd killed his Uncle, and made their Chief (in deference to his Yngling blood?).1 King of Raumerike Hálfdan Hvítbeinn Óláfsson also went by the name of Halfdan "White Leg". He was founded a pagan temple at Skaereid, Skiringsale. He married Ása Eysteinsdóttir, daughter of Eysteinn Hardrádi of Uppland and Sólveig Hálfdanardóttir (?).1 King of Raumerike Hálfdan Hvítbeinn Óláfsson was a witness where Sölvi Hálfdansson of Solør took in his nephew, Halfdan Huitbein, to raise in Soleyar.1 King of Raumerike Hálfdan Hvítbeinn Óláfsson witnessed the death of Sölvi Hálfdansson of Solør; Those of the Swedes who had more understanding found that the dear times proceeded from there being a greater number of people on the land than it could support, and that the king could not be blamed for this. They took the resolution, therefore, to cross the Eida forest with all their men, and came quite unexpectedly into Soleyar, where they put to death King Solve.1 King of Raumerike Hálfdan Hvítbeinn Óláfsson died. He lived to be an old man, and died in his bed at Toten.1 He was the successor of King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson; King of Vestfold.2 King of Raumerike Hálfdan Hvítbeinn Óláfsson was buried in Skaereid, Skiringsale, Vëstfold. After he had died, his body was transported to Westfold, and was buried under a mound at a place called Skaereid, at Skiringsale.
