Jorund
The "Skjöldunga saga" and the "Bjarkarímur" tell that Jorund was defeated by the Danish king Fróði (corresponds to the Heaðobard Froda in "Beowulf"), who made him a tributary and took his daughter. The daughter gave birth to Halfdan, but another woman became Fróði's legitimate wife and gave him an heir named Ingjaldr (corresponds to the Heaðobard Ingeld in "Beowulf"). Together with one of his earls, Swerting, Jorund conspired against Fróði and killed him during the blót.Nerman, B. "Det svenska rikets uppkomst". Stockholm, 1925.
