Notes:

? death?As they were going across a river at a place called Skjotan's [the Weapon's] Ford, a labouring thrall came running to the river-side, and threw a hayfork into their troop. It struck the king on the head, so that he fell instantly from his horse and died. In those times the chief who ravaged a country was called Gram, and the men-at-arms under him Gramer. Thjodolf sings of it thus: -- "What news is this that the king's men, Flying eastward through the glen, Report? That Dag the Brave, whose name Is sounded far and wide by Fame -- That Dag, who knew so well to wield The battle-axe in bloody field, Where brave men meet, no more will head The brave -- that mighty Dag is dead! "Varva was wasted with the sword, And vengeance taken for the bird -- The little bird that used to bring News to the ear of the great king. Varva was ravaged, and the strife Was ended, when the monarch's life Was ended too -- the great Dag fell By the hay-fork of a base thrall!" event ?succeeded his father, and was so wise a man that he understood the language of birds event ?had a sparrow which told him much news, and flew to different countries. Once the sparrow flew to Reidgotaland, to a farm called Varva, where he flew into the peasant's corn-field and took his grain. The peasant came up, took a stone, and killed the sparrow event ?ill-pleased that his sparrow did not come home; and as he, in a sacrifice of expiation, inquired after the sparrow, he got the answer that it was killed at Varva. Thereupon he ordered a great army, and went to Gotland; and when he came to Varva he landed with his men and plundered, and the people fled away before him. King Dag returned in the evening to his ships, after having killed many people and taken many prisoners

Notes:

When Domar Domaldasson King of Swedes was born on 19 March 0361, in Tensta, Uppsala, Sweden, his father, King Domaldi Visbursson of Sweden, was 20 and his mother, Ukjent Hodbroddsdotter, was 17. He had at least 2 sons with Drutt Danpersdotter. He died on 17 August 0437, in Gotland, Sweden, at the age of 76, and was buried in Gotland, Sweden.

The Swedish king Domar (Old Norse D?marr, "Judge") of the House of Ynglings was the son of Domalde. He was married to Drott, the sister of Dan the Arrogant who gave his names to the Danes. Drott and Dan are in this work said to be the children of Danp son of R?g.

His rule lasted long and after the sacrifice of his father Domalde, the crops were plentiful and peace reigned.

Nothing is told of him but that he died in his bed in Upsal, and was transported to the Fyrisvold, where his body was burned on the river bank, and where his standing stone still remains. So says Thjodolf: -- "I have asked wise men to tell Where Domar rests, and they knew well. Domar, on Fyrie's wide-spread ground, Was burned, and laid on Yngve's mound."

Domarr married Drott DANPSDOTTIR. Drott (daughter of Danpi RIGSSON) was born in 365 in Sweden; died about 437 in Uppsala, Sweden. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Death The third autumn, when the offer of sacrifices should begin, a great multitude of Swedes came to Upsal; and now the chiefs held consultations with each other, and all agreed that the times of scarcity were on account of their king Domald, and they resolved to offer him for good seasons, and to assault and kill him, and sprinkle the stalle of the gods with his blood. And they did so. Thjodolf tells of this: -- "It has happened oft ere now, That foeman's weapon has laid low The crowned head, where battle plain, Was miry red with the blood-rain. But Domald dies by bloody arms, Raised not by foes in war's alarms -- Raised by his Swedish liegemen's hand, To bring good seasons to the land." event ?given bad luck by the witchcraft used against him by his step-mother event ?took the heritage after his father Visbur, and ruled over the land event ?witnessed his people, for in his time there was great famine and distress, as they, the Swedes, made great offerings of sacrifice at Upsal. The first autumn they sacrificed oxen, but the succeeding season was not improved thereby event ?again watched his people make sacrifices, for in the following autumn they sacrificed men, but the succeeding year was rather worse
