  • 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.
