Notes: | semi-legendary Swedish king
| | Notes: | When Ingjald was 6 years old he was playing a game with Alf (son of Kig Yngvar). The game was each to head the side of the other. Alf proved to be the stronger, Ingjald was so upsetabout this, that he cried bitterly. Gautvith (foster brother) led Ingjald to Svipdag the Blind (his foster father) and told him what had happened. The day after, Svipdag had the heart cut out of a wolf and had it steaked on a spit and gave it to Ingjald to eat. From that time he became the mostcruel anf most ill-natured of men. After Ingjald married and was King of Uppsala, he had a great banquet (funeral feast) for the purpose of honoring his dead father King Onund. The feast was in a Hall called the Hall of Seven Kings. In it were erected seven high-seats. King Ingjald sent messengers through all of Sweden, inviting kings, earls, and other prominent men. King Algaut (Ingjalds father-in-law), King Yngvar of Fjahryndaland and his two sons, Agnar and Alf, King Sposnjall of Naeriki and King Sigverk of Attundaland. Only KIng Granmar of Suthrmannaland did not come. Six kings were asigned seats in the new hall. One high-seat that King Ingjald had erected remained empty. All those that came were given seats in the new hall but for his own bodygaurd and all his people King Ingald had made room in the old hall. When the ceremonial beaker was brought in, King Ingjald stood up, seized a large drinking horn and made the vow that he would increase his dominion to double its size in every direction or ele die. Then he emptied the beaker. When everyone was drunk, King Ingjald told Folkvith and Hulvith, the sons of Svipdag, to arm themselves and teir men when evening approached as planned. They went out to the new hall and put torch to it. The hall blazed up and the six kings and their followers were burned inside. Those that tried to come out were cut down. Thereupon, King Ingjald took possession of all the realms these kings has ruled and levied tribute to them. King Granmar heard about what had happened and believed the same fate awaited him unless he took precautions. That same summer King Hjorvarth came with his fleet to Sweden and anchored in Myrkva Firth. When King Granmar learned of this,he sent messengers to invite him and all his men to a banquet. At that banquet King Hjorvath met Hildigunn, the daughter of King Granmar. The next day Hjorvarth asked Granmar for Hildigunns hand. Granmar thought Hjorvarths alliance could be beneficial and agreed. That same fall King Ingjald collected a force to proceed against Granmar and Hjorvarth. He summoned troops from all of the districts hhe had taken possession of. When Granmar and Hjorvarth learned of this they collected their forces and King Hogni and his son (from East Gautland) came to their aid. King Ingjald landed with all his army, and his forces were larger by far. A hard battle was fought, but after alittle while the chieftans Ingjald brought, took flight back to their ships. Ingjald was woundedin many places and fled to his ships. His foster father and step brothers were killed. Ingjald was angry that his troops betrayed him. T Ingjald illråde or Ingjaldr hinn illráði (Ingold Ill-ruler or Illready) was a legendary Swedish king of the House of Ynglings. Ingjald may have ruled sometime during the 7th century, and he was the son of the former king Anund.[1] Ingjald is mentioned in the Ynglinga saga, Historia Norvegiæ, Hervarar saga, Upplendinga Konungum, Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar and Íslendingabók.
| | Notes: | The deceit Snorri Sturluson relates that when his father Anund had died, Ingjald became the king of Sweden. The kings at Uppsala were the foremost among the kings of the various provinces since Odin ruled the country, and they were the supreme chiefs of the other kingdoms since the death of Agne and Sweden was divided between Erik and Alrik. The descendants of these two kings had spread, cleared land and settled new territories, until there were several petty kings. In honour of his own ascendance to the throne, Ingjald invited the kings, the jarls and other important men to a grand feast in a newly built hall, just as large and sumptuous as the one in Uppsala. It was called the hall of the seven kings and had seven high seats. Algaut the Geatish king of West Götaland, King Ingvar of Fjädrundaland with his two sons Agnar and Alf, King Sporsnjall of Nerike and King Sigvat of Attundaland came but not King Granmar of Södermanland. The kings filled all seven seats but one. All the prominent people of Sweden had seats, except for Ingjalds own court whom he had sent to his old hall in Uppsala. According to the custom of the time for those who inherited kings and jarls, Ingjald rested at the footstool until the Bragebeaker was brought in. Then he was supposed to stand up, take the beaker and make solemn vows, after which he would ascend his fathers high seat. However, when the beaker was brought in, he took a bulls horn and made the solemn vow that he would enlarge his own kingdom by half towards all the four quarters, towards which he pointed his horn, or die. When all the prominent guests were drunk, he ordered Svipdags sons, Gautvid and Hylvid, to arm themselves and their men and to leave the building. Outside, they set fire to the building which burnt down and those who tried to escape were killed. Thus Ingjald made himself the sole ruler of the domains of the murdered kings. ‹ Back to Anundsson surname Is your surname Anundsson?

Ingjald may have ruled sometime during the 7th century, and he was the son of the former king Anund.[1] Ingjald is mentioned in the Ynglinga saga, Historia Norvegiæ, Hervarar saga, Upplendinga Konungum, Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar and Íslendingabók. Ynglinga saga Snorri Sturluson gave an extensive account on the life of Ingjald in the Ynglinga saga which is part of the Heimskringla. Youth The Ynglinga saga, a part of the Heimskringla relates that the viceroy of Fjädrundaland was named Ingvar and he had two sons, Alf and Agnar, who were of the same age as Ingjald. Svipdag the Blind was the viceroy of Tiundaland, the province of Uppsala where the Tings and the Yule (Midwinter) sacrifices were held (see the Temple at Uppsala). One Midwinter, when Ingjald and Alf were six years old, many people had assembled at Uppsala for the sacrifices. Alf and Ingjald played, but Ingjald found that he was the weaker boy and became so angry that he almost started to cry. His foster-brother Gautvid led him to his foster-father Svigdag the Blind and told Svipdag about Ingjalds lack of manliness and strength. Svipdag said that it was a shame and the next day he gave Ingjald a roasted wolfs heart to eat. From that day, Ingjald became a very ferocious person and had a bad disposition. Anund arranged a marriage for his son Ingjald with Gauthild, the daughter of the Geatish king Algaut, who was the son of Gautrek the Mild and the grandson of Gaut. Gautrek consented as he believed that Ingjald had inherited his fathers disposition. Gauthilds maternal grandfather was Olof the Sharp-sighted, the king of Närke. The deceit Snorri Sturluson relates that when his father Anund had died, Ingjald became the king of Sweden. The kings at Uppsala were the foremost among the kings of the various provinces since Odin ruled the country, and they were the supreme chiefs of the other kingdoms since the death of Agne and Sweden was divided between Erik and Alrik. The descendants of these two kings had spread, cleared land and settled new territories, until there were several petty kings. In honour of his own ascendance to the throne, Ingjald invited the kings, the jarls and other important men to a grand feast in a newly built hall, just as large and sumptuous as the one in Uppsala. It was called the hall of the seven kings and had seven high seats. Algaut the Geatish king of West Götaland, King Ingvar of Fjädrundaland with his two sons Agnar and Alf, King Sporsnjall of Nerike and King Sigvat of Attundaland came but not King Granmar of Södermanland. The kings filled all seven seats but one. All the prominent people of Sweden had seats, except for Ingjalds own court whom he had sent to his old hall in Uppsala. According to the custom of the time for those who inherited kings and jarls, Ingjald rested at the footstool until the Bragebeaker was brought in. Then he was supposed to stand up, take the beaker and make solemn vows, after which he would ascend his fathers high seat. However, when the beaker was brought in, he took a bulls horn and made the solemn vow that he would enlarge his own kingdom by half towards all the four quarters, towards which he pointed his horn, or die. When all the prominent guests were drunk, he ordered Svipdags sons, Gautvid and Hylvid, to arm themselves and their men and to leave the building. Outside, they set fire to the building which burnt down and those who tried to escape were killed. Thus Ingjald made himself the sole ruler of the domains of the murdered kings. Wars Granmar won allies in his son-in-law the sea-king Hjörvard of the Ylfings and his father-in-law Högne the Geatish king of East Götaland. They successfully withstood Ingjalds invasion where Ingjald realised that the men from the provinces he had conquered were not loyal to him. After a long standstill there was peace for as long as the three kings lived. However, one night Ingjald and his men surrounded a farm where Granmar and Hjörvard were at a feast and burnt the house down. He late disposed of five more kings, and he thus earned the name Illråde (ill-ruler) as he fulfilled his promise. Snorri Sturluson tells that it was a common saying that Ingjald killed twelve kings by deceiving them that he only wished for peace, and that he thus earned his cognomen Illråde (ill-ruler or ill-adviser). Downfall Ingjald and his daughter Åsa Ingjald had two children, a son Olof Trätälja and a daughter Åsa. His daughter had inherited her fathers psychopathic disposition. She married king Guðröðr of Skåne. Before she murdered her husband she managed to make him kill his own brother Halfdan the Valiant, the father of the great Ivar Vidfamne. In order to avenge his father, Ivar Vidfamne gathered a vast host and departed for Sweden, where he found Ingjald at Ræning. When Ingjald and his daughter realized that it was futile to resist, they set the hall on fire and succumbed in the flames. Ynglingatal and Historia Norwegiae It is interesting to note that the citation from Ynglingatal does not appear to describe Ingjald as an evil king. It calls his life a brave life frœknu fjörvi: Ok Ingjald í fjörvan trað reyks rösuðr á Ræningi, þá er húsþjófr hyrjar leistum goðkonung í gegnum steig. Ok sá urðr allri þjóðu sjaldgætastr með Svíum þótti, er hann sjálfr sínu fjörvi frœknu fyrstr um fara vildi.[1] With fiery feet devouring flame Has hunted down a royal game At Raening, where King Ingjald gave To all his men one glowing grave. On his own hearth the fire he raised, A deed his foemen even praised; By his own hand he perished so, And life for freedom did forego."[2] The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorris quotation (continuing after Anund): Post istum filius suus Ingialdr in regem sublimatur, qui ultra modum timens Ivarum cognomine withfadm regem tunc temporis multis formidabilem se ipsum cum omni comitatu suo cenaculo inclusos igne cremavit. Ejus filius Olavus cognomento tretelgia [...][2] After him his son Ingjald ascended the throne.
