Line 1: '''Jorund''' or '''~~Eorund~~Jörundr''' was a [[Sweden\|Swedish]] king of the [[House of Yngling]]. He was the son of [[Yngvi and Alf\|Yngvi]], and he had reclaimed the throne of Sweden for his dynasty from [[Haki]] (the brother of [[Hagbard]], the hero of the legend of [[Hagbard and Signy]], and it should be noted that Snorri cites two [[kenning]]s from this legend ''Sigar's steed'' and ''Hagard's fell noose'', when telling of Jorund). [[Snorri Sturluson]] relates that when Jorund was young he used to travel the seas and plunder with his brother Erik, and they were great warriors. One summer they plundered in [[Denmark]] where they met another pillager, King Gudlög of [[Hålogaland]] (a province in Norway) with whom they fought. They took him prisoner and carried him ashore at Stromones where they hanged him. Gudlaug's surviving companions raised a mound over him there.
