Notes:

  1. ^ Nerthus is often suggested to be the same woman as Njörðr's unidentified sister, by whom he begat Frey and Freyja.
  2. ^ The Lokasenna and the Skáldskaparmál identify Gymir with Fornjot’s son Ægir, but Rudolf Simek contests this.[1]
  3. ^ Assuming Narfi (son of Loki) is identical with Narfi.
  4. ^ Þornbjörg appears in Gautreks saga and in Hrólfs saga Gautrekssonar.
  5. ^ Ingeborg appears in the Tyrfing Cycle, e.g. Orvar-Odd's saga and Hervarar saga.
  6. ^ Áli's inclusion here is based on Beowulf, the oldest source.
  7. ^ Eanmund is only attested in Beowulf.


The Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks has in some versions an addition which gives a regnal list of Sweden following the death of Ingjald Illråde, the last king of the Yngling dynasty. Sweden was first ruled by Ivar Vidfamne, then Harald Wartooth and his son Eysteinn Beli, before Björn Ironside conquered Sweden. He founded the House of Munsö, and the saga then follows his descendants until Philip of Sweden.[2][3]

The following chart maps the descendants of Björn Ironside according to the saga[4]:
