Dag the Wise and Dag the Great (Powerful), their predecessors and wives

Dag the Wise and Dag the Great (Powerful), their predecessors and wives and how they kill each other.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/heim/02ynglga.htm

Agni's predecessor was Dag "the wise" (see chapter 21 and 22). Agni was married with Skjalv Frostisdotter. Her father Frostis was killed by Agni and Skjalv abducted by Agni. After the burial feast for Frosti Skjalv took revenge, hanged Agni in a tree and rowed away with her men.

Alric and Erik were the predecessors of Agni - they killed each other with their horses bridle. (chapter 23).

In chapter 24 about Yngve and Alf comes the important part.

"Alf was a silent, harsh, unfriendly man, and sat at home in the land, and never went out on war expeditions. His mother was called Dageid, a daughter of King Dag the Great, from whom the Dagling family is descended. King Alf had a wife named
Bera, who was the most agreeable of women, very brisk and gay."

Dag the Great was also called/translated as Dag the "powerful". There is no relationship with Dag the Wise, Agni's far.

Summary; Dag the Wise followed by Agni (married with Skjalv) followed by Alric/Eric followed by Yngve and Alf. Alf's mother was Dageid, daughter of king Dag the Great/Powerful. King Alf's wife is Bera. Dageid might have been Alric's wife.

Alf and Yngve killed each other because Bera preferred Alf's brother Yngve and Alf was jealous.

Skjalv was not married with Dag the Great (powerful) and should be disconnected from him.

Skjalv could not have been "mother" of Alric and Eric who were predecessors of the hanged Agni. Leaders/warlords were "elected" by the many petty "kings" in Svearike. Alric/Eric might have been brothers, cousins uncles of Agni - as long as they were part of the Ynglinga clan.

I will soon show a couple of pictures/a report from a visit to old Uppsala and explain what/how the Swedes think about their old kings.
