• General Notes

  Sveigder or Swegde was a Swedish king of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. He was the son of Fjölner.
  
  The Ynglinga saga relates that at his father's death Sveigder vowed to go to Godheim (Asgard) and visit Odin. He took his twelve hirdmen and went through the world. He came to Turkland and Great Sweden (Russia), but after five years he returned home. He got himself a wife from Vanaheim (a Vanir?) who was called Vana and they had the son Vanlande. Then Sveigder resumed his search for Odin and came to a mansion east of Sweden called Stein (see also Ingvar) which was called so because there was a stone as big as a house. After sunset, Sveigder was going to bed from having drunk with the hosts, and passing the stone he saw that a dwarf was sitting under it. Sveigder and his companion were drunk and ran for the dwarf. The dwarf called to Sveigder to come into the stone and see Odin which Sveigder did and he never came back.
  
  Snorri also quoted some lines from Ynglingatal composed in the 9th century:
  
  En dagskjarr
  Dúrnis niðja
  salvörðuðr
  Sveigði vétti,
  þá er í stein
  enn stórgeði
  Dusla konr
  ept dvergi hljóp,
  ok salr bjartr
  þeira Sökmímis
  jötunbyggðr
  við jöfri gein.
