| Notes |
- Eystein, we are told, was succeeded by his son Halfdan the Generous and the Stingy of Food . Halfdan gained this title by paying his men generously in coin but poorly in food. He die d of a malady, was duly buried in a mound beside his father Eystein.
King of Vestfold (0780-0800)
Death 1 . in Holtar, Vestfold.
He died there, in his chief house, on the bed of sickness.
Event?called Halfdan the Mild, but the Bad Entertainer; that is to say, he was reported to be generous, and to give his men as much gold as other kings gave of silver, but he starved them in their diet
Burial in Borre, Raden, near Vodle, Vestfold.?He was buried at Borre under a mound. So says Thjodolf: -- "By Hel's summons, a great king Was called away to Odin's Thing: King Halfdan, he who dwelt of late At Holtar, must obey grim Fate. At Borre, in the royal mound, They laid the hero in the ground."
Event ?a great warrior, who had been long on viking cruises, and had collected great property
