Sveigðir

Sveigðir

Sveigðir, "Sveigder" or "Swegde" was a Swedish king of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. He was the son of Fjölner, whom he succeeded as king, and he married Vana of Vanaheim, probably one of the Vanir.

Lured by a dwarf, Sveigðir disappeared into a stone and never came back. He was succeeded by his son Vanlandi.

Snorri Sturluson wrote of Sveigðir in his "Ynglinga saga" (1225):

The even earlier source "Íslendingabók" from the early 12th century, cites the line of descent in "Ynglingatal" and also gives Svegðir as the successor of Fjölnir and the predecessor of Vanlandi: "iiii Fjölnir. sá er dó at Friðfróða. v Svegðir. vi Vanlandi" [ [http://www.heimskringla.no/original/islendingesagaene/islendingabok.php Guðni Jónsson's edition of Íslendingabók] ] .
