- Yngvi-Frey, the ruler of Peace and Fertility, Rain, and Sunshine was the son of Njörð, the Sea God and Eorthe of Esageard.2,4 If he is the ancestor of the Ynglings, and the son of Njord, and Njord was of Vanaland, and offered as a hostage to the Asalander, Odin, then, per Snorri, the Ynglingers are not descendants of Odin, but of Njord, a native son.2 Yngvi-Frey, the ruler of Peace and Fertility, Rain, and Sunshine was called by another name, Yngve; and this name Yngve was considered long after in his race as a name of honour, so that his descendants have since been called Ynglinger. He built a great temple at Upsal, made it his chief seat, and gave it all his taxes, his land, and goods.2 King of the Swedes. He was said to be ancestor of the Ynglingar, the Swedish royal family.5 He was once said to be king of the Swedes, his reign one of peace and plenty.5 He was originally one of the Vanir tribe, he was included with the Aesir.3 He died. After his death, he was worshiped as a god. The day Friday was named in his honor.6,7 He was given Upsal as a domain by Odin.2 Also called Frey.2 He was , like his father, fortunate in friends and in good seasons.2 He was a priest of the sacrifices, like his father, and became Diar of the Asaland people.2 He married Gerðr, the Giantess, daughter of Gymer (of Norse Myth) and Orsoda (of Norse Myth).2 Yngvi-Frey, the ruler of Peace and Fertility, Rain, and Sunshine was buried in the tomb of the Kings, Uppsala, Sweden. "Frey fell into a sickness; and as his illness took the upper hand, his men took the plan of letting few approach him. In the meantime they raised a great mound, in which they placed a door with three holes in it. Now when Frey died they bore him secretly into the mound, but told the Swedes he was alive; and they kept watch over him for three years. They brought all the taxes into the mound, and through the one hole they put in the gold, through the other the silver, and through the third the copper money that was paid. Peace and good seasons continued."
