Halvdan snälle eller Hálfdan snjalli var en skånsk sagokung som tillhör 600-talet.
Hans far skall ha varit Harald den gamle (Haraldr gamli), sonson till Hroar Halvdansson (Hróarr Hálfdanarson).
Enligt Hervarar saga skall hans mor varit Hild men i Hversu kallas hon Hervör. Det är möjligt att det är variationer av samma namn för enligt båda sagorna var hon dotter till Heidrek ulvhamn (Heiðrekr úlfhamr), kung över Reidgotaland, som var son till kung Angantyr.
Enligt Ynglingasagan var Halvdan snälle bror till Gudröd Skånekung, som var gift med Åsa illråda – Ingjald illrådes dotter. Sagan nämner också att han skall varit far till Ivar Vidfamne.
Enligt Wikipedia kan ordet snjallr ha flera betydelser; den snälle, modige, raske, kloke, duktige, vältalige.
Biography
Halfdan Snjalle is a mythological king from the Norse sagas who supposedly lived in the 7th century.
Name(s)
Parents and family
His father is said to been Harald den gamle (Haraldr gamli) meaning Harald the old.
According to Hervarar saga, his mother's name was Hild but in Hversu she is named Hervör. Both sagas agree upon her being a daughter of Heidrek Ulvhamn (Heiðrekr úlfhamr), son of king Angantyr.
According to Hvordan Norge ble bygd (Hversu Noregr byggdist): Halvdan was son of Harald den gamle, his grandfather was Valdar den gavmilde and he was in turn son of Hróarr.
According to Ynglinga saga, he is father of Ivar Vidfamne.
Death and burial
Research Notes
An estimated birth year has been added in order to give the profile pre-1500 protection. It is, however, more of a guess than an estimate since the saga(s) mentioning him/her have been written many hundred years later.
Relationships between historical figures could have been simplified or even fabricated in the text to give the impression that succession remained within the same family….Precise chronology is also difficult to assess from the Sagas….The conclusion must be that the tight family network described in the Sagas is unlikely to be correct and that the relationships shown below should be treated with considerable caution.
Disconnecting Hrolfsson-20 as father, he is most likely to be his grandfather.Andersson-4409 09:33, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Disconnecting spouse Unknown-536673 and son Halfdansson-161 (both linked to in bio). Children Halfdansdatter-32, Halfdansson-317 and Halfdansson-309, not mentioned in any sagas has also been disconnected.
Haldan the Valiant (Hálfdan snjalli) (7th century) was the legendary father of Ivar Vidfamne according to Hervarar saga, the Ynglinga saga, Njal's Saga and Hversu Noregr byggdist. The genealogical work Hversu Noregr byggdist gives his father as Harald the Old, his grandfather as Valdar and his great-grandfather as Hróarr (i.e. the Hroðgar of Beowulf).
Snorri Sturluson related that the Swedish king Ingjald Ill-ruler married his daughter Åsa to king Guðröðr of Scania. Åsa was her father's daughter and made Guðröðr murder his own brother Halfdan, the father of Ivar Vidfamne. Later, she was the cause behind Guðröðr's death as well, and had to escape back to her father. People afterwards called her Åsa Ill-ruler like her father Ingjald.
Ivar Vidfamne mustered a large army and besieged Ingjald and his daughter at Ræning, whereupon the two committed suicide by burning themselves to death inside the hall.
Whereas Hversu and Ynglinga saga don't inform about Halfdan's mother, Hervarar saga provides the information that she was Hild, the daughter of the Gothic king Heiðrekr Ulfhamr, the son of Angantyr who defeated the Huns. (This needs verification, since the name Hild does not occur in the copy of Hervarar saga at http://www.oe.eclipse.co.uk/nom/Hervor.htm).
It then tells that Halfdan had the son Ivar Vidfamne, who attacked Ingjald Ill-ruler, which led to Ingjald's suicide by burning down his own hall at Ræning together with all his retinue. After this, Ivar Vidfamne conquered Sweden.
