Gudrød the Hunter (Old Norse: Guðrǫðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Veidekonge) was a semi-legendary king in south-east Norway, during the early Viking Age. He is mentioned in the skaldic poem Ynglingatal. Snorri Sturluson elaborates on Gudrød's story in Heimskringla, written c. 1230; however, this is not considered to be a historical account by modern historians. The following account is taken from Heimskringla - Ynglingesoga section 48:

Gudrød was the son of Halfdan the Mild of the House of Yngling and Liv Dagsdotter of Vestmar. He married Alfhild, a daughter of Alfarin the king of Alfheim (Bohuslän), which was the name of the area between Glomma and Göta älv, and inherited half the province of Vingulmark. They had a son, Olaf Gudrødsson.

When Alfhild died, Gudrød sent his warriors to Agder and its king, Harald, to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa. However, Harald Granraude declined, so Gudrød decided to take his daughter by force.

They arrived at night. When Harald realised that he was being attacked, he assembled his men and fought well, but died together with his son Gyrd. Gudrød carried away Åsa and married her. He raped her and she gave him a son named Halfdan who would be called Halfdan the Black.

In the fall, when Halfdan was a year old, Gudrød was having at a feast in Stiflesund. He was very drunk and in the evening, as he was walking on the gangway to leave the ship, an assassin thrust a spear through Gudrød, killing him. Gudrød's men instantly killed the assassin, who turned out to be Åsa's page-boy. Åsa admitted that the page-boy had acted on her behalf.

GENI NOTE: There is another Gudrød son of Halfdan, who is not the same as this one. This one is Gudrød son of Halfdan son of Eyvind; the other one is Gudrød son of Halfdan "Kvitbein" son of Olaf.

Mens skipet hans lå i “Stivlesund” (et ukjent sted), ble han offer for et snikmord. Morderen var Åsas skosvein, og det ble ikke lagt skjul på at hun stod bak. Hva som skjedde med Åsa etterpå, sies det ingenting om i sagaene.

Gudrød Veidekonge – og for så vidt også Åsa (men ikke nødvendigvis under dette navnet) – må oppfattes som gamle sagnskikkelser i skandinavisk/nordeuropeisk sammenheng. Gudrød svarer som skikkelse i noen grad til en legendarisk dansk konge, Godofridus, som regjerte på begynnelsen av 800-tallet og er nevnt i frankiske kilder. Men han har også lånt trekk fra andre “Gudrød”-skikkelser (blant dem en norsk Dublin-konge). Ifølge en av de frankiske kildene ble Godofridus drept i et familiedrama, og hustruen stod bak drapet.

Konge først på 800-tallet

Gudrød Veidekonge

Gudrød Veidekonge (dvs. jegeren, av gn. veidr, jakt) ifølge Snorre konge over Vestfold og Romerike. Gudrød drepte Agderkongen, hærtok og ektet hans datter Åsa, som fødte han sønnen:

1. Halvdan Svarte.

Gudrød ble drept av Åsas trell. 1)

1) Gyldendals Store Konversasjonsleksikon (1965) D-G, sid. 3271.

Gudrød Halvdansson Veidekonge (født ca. 780 død ca. 821) var konge over Vestfold, Romerike og halve Vingulmark (omtrent dagens Østfold). Gudrød var Halvdan Øysteinsson den gavmilde og Liv Dagsdotters sønn, og far til Halvdan Svarte og Olav Geirstadalv Gudrødsson. Frem til ca. 815 var han gift med Alvhild Alfarinsdatter, og deretter med Åsa Haraldsdatter.

Gudrød fikk halve Vingulmark som medgifte da han giftet seg med Alvhild, datter av kong Alvarin Alvheim fra Alvheim (Bohuslän).

Etter Alfhilds tidlige død, la Gudrød ut på frierferd til Agder, etter datteren til kong Harald Granraude, Åsa. Harald avviste ham og Gudrød svarte med å ta livet av ham og hans sønn Gyrd, for så å røve med seg Åsa og ta henne til ektemake.

Gudrød ble myrdet i 821, på ordre fra Åsa, for mordet på hennes far og bror, og for å ha voldtatt henne.

53. OF GUDROD THE HUNTER.

Gudrod, Halfdan's son, succeeded. He was called Gudrod the Magnificent, and also Gudrod the Hunter. He was married to Alfhild, a daughter of King Alfarin of Alfheim, and got with her half the district of Vingulmark. Their son Olaf was afterwards called Geirstad-Alf. Alfheim, at that time, was the name of the land between the Glommen and Gotha rivers. Now when Alfhild died, King Gudrod sent his men west to Agder to the king who ruled there, and who was called Harald Redbeard. They were to make proposals to his daughter Aasa upon the king's account; but Harald declined the match, and the ambassadors returned to the king, and told him the result of their errand. Soon after King

Gudrod hove down his ships into the water, and proceeded with a great force in them to Agder. He immediately landed, and came altogether unexpectedly at night to King Harald's house. When Harald was aware that an army was at hand, he went out with the

men he had about him, and there was a great battle, although he wanted men so much. King Harald and his son Gyrd fell, and King Gudrod took a great booty. He carried away with him Aasa, King Harald's daughter, and had a wedding with her. They had a son by their marriage called Halfdan; and the autumn that Halfdan was a year old Gudrod went upon a round of feasts. He lay with his ship in Stiflesund, where they had been drinking hard, so that the king was very tipsy. In the evening, about dark, the king left the ship; and when he had got to the end of the gangway from the ship to the shore, a man ran against him, thrust a spear through him, and killed him. The man was instantly put to death, and in the morning when it was light the man was discovered to be Aasa's page-boy: nor did she conceal that it was done by her orders. Thus tells Thjodolf of it: --

"Gudrod is gone to his long rest,

Despite of all his haughty pride --

A traitor's spear has pierced his side:

For Aasa cherished in her breast

Revenge; and as, by wine opprest,

The hero staggered from his ship,

The cruel queen her thrall let slip

To do the deed of which I sing:

And now the far-descended king,

At Stiflesund, in the old bed

Of the old Gudrod race, lies dead."

54. OF KING OLAF'S DEATH.

Olaf came to the kingdom after his father. He was a great warrior, and an able man; and was besides remarkably handsome, very strong and large of growth. He had Westfold; for King Alfgeir took all Vingulmark to himself, and placed his son Gandalf over it. Both father and son made war on Raumarike, and subdued the greater part of that land and district. Hogne was the name of a son of the Upland king, Eystein the Great, who subdued for himself the whole of Hedemark, Toten, and Hadeland. Then Vermeland fell off from Gudrod's sons, and turned itself, with its payment of scatt, to the Swedish king. Olaf was about twenty years old when Gudrod died; and as his brother Halfdan now had the kingdom with him, they divided it between them; so that Olaf got the eastern and Halfdan the southern part. King Olaf had his main residence at Geirstad. There he died of a disease in his foot, and was laid under a mound at Geirstad. So sings Thjodolf: --

"Long while this branch of Odin's stem

Was the stout prop of Norway's realm;

Long while King Olaf with just pride

Ruled over Westfold far and wide.

At length by cruel gout oppressed,

The good King Olaf sank to rest:

His body now lies under ground,

Buried at Geirstad, in the mound."

Men när Alfhild var död sände kung Gudröd sina män västerut till Agder, där det härskade en kung som är nämnd Harald den munskäggsröde. De hade i uppdrag att fria till hans dotter Åsa på kungens vägnar, men Harald sade nej. Sändemännen kom tillbaka och förtalte kungen om utgången av ärendet. Något senare sköt kung Gudröds skepp i vattnet och for med en stor här till Agder, dit han kom helt oväntat och företog landgång och överföll kung Haralds gård om natten. Men när denne blev varse att en här kom emot honom, då gick han ut med så mycket manskap han hade. Det vart strid, men skillnaden i styrka var stor och Harald stupade jämte sin son Gyrd. Kung Gudröd tog stort byte och förde med sig hem kung Haralds dotter Åsa och höll bröllop med henne. De fick en enda son, som hette Halfdan. Samma höst som Halfdan blev en vinter gammal for kung Gudröd på gillen och låg med sitt i Stivlusund. Där var mycket drickande och kungen var svårt drucken, och på kvällen när det blev mörkt gick kungen ned ifrån skeppet. Men när han nådde landgångens ände lopp en man emot honom och rände ett spjut igenom honom, och det vart hans bane. Mannen dräptes på fläcken, men om morgonen när det blev ljust kändes han igen, och det befanns vara drottning Åsas skosven. Hon förnekade då heller inte att rådet var hennes.

Efter Alfhilds död gifter han sig med Åsa som var dotter till kungen Harald den rödskäggie i Agder och får med henne sonen Halfdan. Gunröd övertog kungadömet efter sin far.

Gudröd the Hunter was the son of Halfdan the Mild of the House of Yngling, according to Heimskringla, a collection of sagas from thirteenth century Iceland.

Gudröd married Alfhild, a daughter of Alfarin the king of Alfheim (Bohuslän), which was the name of the area between Glomma and Göta älv, and inherited half the province of Vingulmark.

When Alfhild died, Gudröd sent his warriors to Agder and its king Harald to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa. However, Harald declined so Gudröd decided to take his daughter by force.

They arrived at night time and when Harald realised that he was attacked he assembled his men and fought well, but died together with his son Gyrd. Gudröd carried away Åsa and married her. He raped her and she gave him a son named Halfdan who would be called Halfdan the Black.

In the fall when Halfdan was a year old, Gudröd was having at a feast in Stiflesund.

http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Granraude

Da kongen av Vestfold, Gudrød Veidekonge, sendte menn for å fri til Haralds datter Åsa, takket Harald nei. Dette førte til at etter en stund satte kong Gudrød skip på vannet, og så seilte han med stor flåte vest til Agder og kongsgården på Tromøya, han kom helt uventet på dem, gjorde landgang og kom til Haralds gard om natta. Da Harald merket at en hær var kommet gikk han ut med alt det folk han hadde. Det ble en hard kamp, men overmakten var for stor. Der falt Harald og Gyrd, sønn hans. Kong Gudrød tok stort hærfang, han tok også Åsa, datter til kong Harald, med seg hjem og holdt bryllup med henne.

En lokal legende sier at Harald Granraude gjemte seg i en underjordisk tunnel med Åsa, men de ble funnet og Harald ble halshugget.

Åsa vart mor til Halvdan Svarte.

Soga fortel at Gudrød vart drepen av skosveinen til Åsa. Dette har Snorre frå Ynglingatal,

Ein kan elles merke seg at det er likskap mellom dette drapet og skildringa av drapet på langobardarkongen Alboin, fortald hjå Paulus Diaconus. Alboin vart drepen av ein svein som var i teneste hjå dronninga Rosamunda.

Gudrød sat som konge i Skiringssal i Vestfold.

Halvdan Koht skriv dette om Gudrød:

Gudrød Veidekonge er den fyrste i kongsrekkja som vi har vitnemål um har namnet "konge"; hjå Tjodolv har han elles namet "den gjævlåtne". I hans dagar, i 843, høyrer vi um at vestfoldingane kom på vikingferd til Frankrike. Tjodolv kallar dronninga hans Åsa, og A. W. Brøgger meiner at det er haugen over henne dei har funne Osebergskipet i. Åsa var etter sogone mor til Halvdan Svarte; men Tjodolv i Ynglingatal fylgjer ikkje denne ættgreina, han fortel i staden som sonen, Olav Geirstadalv, som Gudrød hadde med ei anna kone, og sidan um hans son att, Ragnvald. Hadde han kvede um Halvdan, vilde han vel snautt ha sagt slikt um mor hans. Tjodolv var ikkje hirdskald hjå Harald Hårfagre heller. Norrøne Bokverk, band fire, note.

Gudrød the Hunter (Old Norse: Guðrǫðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Sigfredsson Veidekonge) was a semi-legendary king in south-east Norway, during the early Viking Age from 804 until 810. He was the father of Halfdan the Black Gudrödarson, king of Vestfold, and the grandfather of Harald Fairhair, the first king of Norway.[1]

[edit] Biography

Gudrød is mentioned in the skaldic poem Ynglingatal. Snorri Sturluson elaborates on Gudrød's story in Heimskringla, written c. 1230; however, this is not considered to be a historical account by modern historians. The following account is taken from Heimskringla.

Gudrød the Hunter (Old Norse: Guðrǫðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Veidekonge) was a semi-legendary king in south-east Norway, during the early Viking Age. He is mentioned in the skaldic poem Ynglingatal. Snorri Sturluson elaborates on Gudrød's story in Heimskringla, written c. 1230; however, this is not considered to be a historical account by modern historians. The following account is taken from Heimskringla.

Gudrød was the son of Halfdan the Mild of the House of Yngling and Liv Dagsdotter of Vestmar. He married Alfhild, a daughter of Alfarin the king of Alfheim (Bohuslän), which was the name of the area between Glomma and Göta älv, and inherited half the province of Vingulmark. They had a son, Olaf Gudrødsson.

When Alfhild died, Gudrød sent his warriors to Agder and its king, Harald, to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa. However, Harald Granraude declined, so Gudrød decided to take his daughter by force.

They arrived at night. When Harald realised that he was being attacked, he assembled his men and fought well, but died together with his son Gyrd. Gudrød carried away Åsa and married her. He raped her and she gave him a son named Halfdan who would be called Halfdan the Black.

In the fall, when Halfdan was a year old, Gudrød was having at a feast in Stiflesund. He was very drunk and in the evening, as he was walking on the gangway to leave the ship, an assassin thrust a spear through Gudrød, killing him. Gudrød's men instantly killed the assassin, who turned out to be Åsa's page-boy. Åsa admitted that the page-boy had acted on her behalf.

Mens skipet hans lå i “Stivlesund” (et ukjent sted), ble han offer for et snikmord. Morderen var Åsas skosvein, og det ble ikke lagt skjul på at hun stod bak. Hva som skjedde med Åsa etterpå, sies det ingenting om i sagaene.

Gudrød Veidekonge – og for så vidt også Åsa (men ikke nødvendigvis under dette navnet) – må oppfattes som gamle sagnskikkelser i skandinavisk/nordeuropeisk sammenheng. Gudrød svarer som skikkelse i noen grad til en legendarisk dansk konge, Godofridus, som regjerte på begynnelsen av 800-tallet og er nevnt i frankiske kilder. Men han har også lånt trekk fra andre “Gudrød”-skikkelser (blant dem en norsk Dublin-konge). Ifølge en av de frankiske kildene ble Godofridus drept i et familiedrama, og hustruen stod bak drapet.

Konge først på 800-tallet

Gudrød Veidekonge

Gudrød Veidekonge (dvs. jegeren, av gn. veidr, jakt) ifølge Snorre konge over Vestfold og Romerike. Gudrød drepte Agderkongen, hærtok og ektet hans datter Åsa, som fødte han sønnen:

1. Halvdan Svarte.

Gudrød ble drept av Åsas trell. 1)

1) Gyldendals Store Konversasjonsleksikon (1965) D-G, sid. 3271.

Gudrød Halvdansson Veidekonge (født ca. 780 død ca. 821) var konge over Vestfold, Romerike og halve Vingulmark (omtrent dagens Østfold). Gudrød var Halvdan Øysteinsson den gavmilde og Liv Dagsdotters sønn, og far til Halvdan Svarte og Olav Geirstadalv Gudrødsson. Frem til ca. 815 var han gift med Alvhild Alfarinsdatter, og deretter med Åsa Haraldsdatter.

Gudrød fikk halve Vingulmark som medgifte da han giftet seg med Alvhild, datter av kong Alvarin Alvheim fra Alvheim (Bohuslän).

Etter Alfhilds tidlige død, la Gudrød ut på frierferd til Agder, etter datteren til kong Harald Granraude, Åsa. Harald avviste ham og Gudrød svarte med å ta livet av ham og hans sønn Gyrd, for så å røve med seg Åsa og ta henne til ektemake.

Gudrød ble myrdet i 821, på ordre fra Åsa, for mordet på hennes far og bror, og for å ha voldtatt henne.

53. OF GUDROD THE HUNTER.

Gudrod, Halfdan's son, succeeded. He was called Gudrod the Magnificent, and also Gudrod the Hunter. He was married to Alfhild, a daughter of King Alfarin of Alfheim, and got with her half the district of Vingulmark. Their son Olaf was afterwards called Geirstad-Alf. Alfheim, at that time, was the name of the land between the Glommen and Gotha rivers. Now when Alfhild died, King Gudrod sent his men west to Agder to the king who ruled there, and who was called Harald Redbeard. They were to make proposals to his daughter Aasa upon the king's account; but Harald declined the match, and the ambassadors returned to the king, and told him the result of their errand. Soon after King

Gudrod hove down his ships into the water, and proceeded with a great force in them to Agder. He immediately landed, and came altogether unexpectedly at night to King Harald's house. When Harald was aware that an army was at hand, he went out with the

men he had about him, and there was a great battle, although he wanted men so much. King Harald and his son Gyrd fell, and King Gudrod took a great booty. He carried away with him Aasa, King Harald's daughter, and had a wedding with her. They had a son by their marriage called Halfdan; and the autumn that Halfdan was a year old Gudrod went upon a round of feasts. He lay with his ship in Stiflesund, where they had been drinking hard, so that the king was very tipsy. In the evening, about dark, the king left the ship; and when he had got to the end of the gangway from the ship to the shore, a man ran against him, thrust a spear through him, and killed him. The man was instantly put to death, and in the morning when it was light the man was discovered to be Aasa's page-boy: nor did she conceal that it was done by her orders. Thus tells Thjodolf of it: --

"Gudrod is gone to his long rest,

Despite of all his haughty pride --

A traitor's spear has pierced his side:

For Aasa cherished in her breast

Revenge; and as, by wine opprest,

The hero staggered from his ship,

The cruel queen her thrall let slip

To do the deed of which I sing:

And now the far-descended king,

At Stiflesund, in the old bed

Of the old Gudrod race, lies dead."

54. OF KING OLAF'S DEATH.

Olaf came to the kingdom after his father. He was a great warrior, and an able man; and was besides remarkably handsome, very strong and large of growth. He had Westfold; for King Alfgeir took all Vingulmark to himself, and placed his son Gandalf over it. Both father and son made war on Raumarike, and subdued the greater part of that land and district. Hogne was the name of a son of the Upland king, Eystein the Great, who subdued for himself the whole of Hedemark, Toten, and Hadeland. Then Vermeland fell off from Gudrod's sons, and turned itself, with its payment of scatt, to the Swedish king. Olaf was about twenty years old when Gudrod died; and as his brother Halfdan now had the kingdom with him, they divided it between them; so that Olaf got the eastern and Halfdan the southern part. King Olaf had his main residence at Geirstad. There he died of a disease in his foot, and was laid under a mound at Geirstad. So sings Thjodolf: --

"Long while this branch of Odin's stem

Was the stout prop of Norway's realm;

Long while King Olaf with just pride

Ruled over Westfold far and wide.

At length by cruel gout oppressed,

The good King Olaf sank to rest:

His body now lies under ground,

Buried at Geirstad, in the mound."

Men när Alfhild var död sände kung Gudröd sina män västerut till Agder, där det härskade en kung som är nämnd Harald den munskäggsröde. De hade i uppdrag att fria till hans dotter Åsa på kungens vägnar, men Harald sade nej. Sändemännen kom tillbaka och förtalte kungen om utgången av ärendet. Något senare sköt kung Gudröds skepp i vattnet och for med en stor här till Agder, dit han kom helt oväntat och företog landgång och överföll kung Haralds gård om natten. Men när denne blev varse att en här kom emot honom, då gick han ut med så mycket manskap han hade. Det vart strid, men skillnaden i styrka var stor och Harald stupade jämte sin son Gyrd. Kung Gudröd tog stort byte och förde med sig hem kung Haralds dotter Åsa och höll bröllop med henne. De fick en enda son, som hette Halfdan. Samma höst som Halfdan blev en vinter gammal for kung Gudröd på gillen och låg med sitt i Stivlusund. Där var mycket drickande och kungen var svårt drucken, och på kvällen när det blev mörkt gick kungen ned ifrån skeppet. Men när han nådde landgångens ände lopp en man emot honom och rände ett spjut igenom honom, och det vart hans bane. Mannen dräptes på fläcken, men om morgonen när det blev ljust kändes han igen, och det befanns vara drottning Åsas skosven. Hon förnekade då heller inte att rådet var hennes.

(Källa: Vikingen, Nordbok 1975)

Gunröd den ädle. Gift först med Alfhild som var dotter till kung Alvarin från Alvhem.Med henne får han sonen Olof som blir kung i Vestvold. Efter Alfhilds död gifter han sig med Åsa som var dotter till kungen Harald den rödskäggie i Agder och får med henne sonen Halfdan. Gunröd övertog kungadömet efter sin far.

Gudröd the Hunter was the son of Halfdan the Mild of the House of Yngling, according to Heimskringla, a collection of sagas from thirteenth century Iceland.

Gudröd married Alfhild, a daughter of Alfarin the king of Alfheim (Bohuslän), which was the name of the area between Glomma and Göta älv, and inherited half the province of Vingulmark.

When Alfhild died, Gudröd sent his warriors to Agder and its king Harald to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa. However, Harald declined so Gudröd decided to take his daughter by force.

They arrived at night time and when Harald realised that he was attacked he assembled his men and fought well, but died together with his son Gyrd. Gudröd carried away Åsa and married her. He raped her and she gave him a son named Halfdan who would be called Halfdan the Black.

In the fall when Halfdan was a year old, Gudröd was having at a feast in Stiflesund. He was very drunk and in the evening as he was walking on the gangway to leave the ship, an assassin thrust a spear trough Gudröd and he was killed. Gudröd's men instantly killed the assassin who turned out to be Åsa's page-boy. Åsa admitted that the page-boy had acted on her behalf.

Noted events in his life were:

• He was a King from 00 0780 to 820 in Vestfold, Norway.

Gudröd married Alfhild Alfarinsdatter, daughter of Alfarin of Alfheim and Unknown. (Alfhild Alfarinsdatter died before 820.)

Gudröd next married Åsa Haraldsdatter, daughter of Harald Granraude and Unknown, circa 810. (Åsa Haraldsdatter was born circa 780 in Agder, Norway and died circa 840 in Norway.)

http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Granraude

Da kongen av Vestfold, Gudrød Veidekonge, sendte menn for å fri til Haralds datter Åsa, takket Harald nei. Dette førte til at etter en stund satte kong Gudrød skip på vannet, og så seilte han med stor flåte vest til Agder og kongsgården på Tromøya, han kom helt uventet på dem, gjorde landgang og kom til Haralds gard om natta. Da Harald merket at en hær var kommet gikk han ut med alt det folk han hadde. Det ble en hard kamp, men overmakten var for stor. Der falt Harald og Gyrd, sønn hans. Kong Gudrød tok stort hærfang, han tok også Åsa, datter til kong Harald, med seg hjem og holdt bryllup med henne.

En lokal legende sier at Harald Granraude gjemte seg i en underjordisk tunnel med Åsa, men de ble funnet og Harald ble halshugget.

Ein kan elles merke seg at det er likskap mellom dette drapet og skildringa av drapet på langobardarkongen Alboin, fortald hjå Paulus Diaconus. Alboin vart drepen av ein svein som var i teneste hjå dronninga Rosamunda.

Gudrød sat som konge i Skiringssal i Vestfold.

Gudrød Veidekonge er den fyrste i kongsrekkja som vi har vitnemål um har namnet "konge"; hjå Tjodolv har han elles namet "den gjævlåtne". I hans dagar, i 843, høyrer vi um at vestfoldingane kom på vikingferd til Frankrike. Tjodolv kallar dronninga hans Åsa, og A. W. Brøgger meiner at det er haugen over henne dei har funne Osebergskipet i. Åsa var etter sogone mor til Halvdan Svarte; men Tjodolv i Ynglingatal fylgjer ikkje denne ættgreina, han fortel i staden som sonen, Olav Geirstadalv, som Gudrød hadde med ei anna kone, og sidan um hans son att, Ragnvald. Hadde han kvede um Halvdan, vilde han vel snautt ha sagt slikt um mor hans. Tjodolv var ikkje hirdskald hjå Harald Hårfagre heller. Norrøne Bokverk, band fire, note.

Noteringar

Kung i Vestfold, Norge 780-826. Född omkring 765 i Vestfold. Död omkring 826 i Vestfold. Men när Alfhild var död sände kung Gudröd sina män västerut till Agder, där det härskade en kung som är nämnd Harald den munskäggsröde. De hade i uppdrag att fria till hans dotter Åsa på kungens vägnar, men Harald sade nej. Sändemännen kom tillbaka och förtalte kungen om utgången av ärendet. Något senare sköt kung Gudröds skepp i vattnet och for med en stor här till Agder, dit han kom helt oväntat och företog landgång och överföll kung Haralds gård om natten. Men när denne blev varse att en här kom emot honom, då gick han ut med så mycket manskap han hade. Det vart strid, men skillnaden i styrka var stor och Harald stupade jämte sin son Gyrd. Kung Gudröd tog stort byte och förde med sig hem kung Haralds dotter Åsa och höll bröllop med henne. De fick en enda son, som hette Halfdan. Samma höst som Halfdan blev en vinter gammal for kung Gudröd på gillen och låg med sitt i Stivlusund. Där var mycket drickande och kungen var svårt drucken, och på kvällen när det blev mörkt gick kungen ned ifrån skeppet. Men när han nådde landgångens ände lopp en man emot honom och rände ett spjut igenom honom, och det vart hans bane. Mannen dräptes på fläcken, men om morgonen när det blev ljust kändes han igen, och det befanns vara drottning Åsas skosven. Hon förnekade då heller inte att rådet var hennes.

Gudrød the Hunter (Old Norse: Guðrǫðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Sigfredsson Veidekonge) was a semi-legendary king in south-east Norway, during the early Viking Age from 804 until 810. He was the father of Halfdan the Black Gudrödarson, king of Vestfold, and the grandfather of Harald Fairhair, the first king of Norway.[1]

[edit] Biography

Gudrød is mentioned in the skaldic poem Ynglingatal. Snorri Sturluson elaborates on Gudrød's story in Heimskringla, written c. 1230; however, this is not considered to be a historical account by modern historians. The following account is taken from Heimskringla.

The following account is taken from Heimskringla.

Gudrød was the son of Halfdan the Mild of the House of Yngling and Liv Dagsdotter of Vestmar. He married Alfhild, a daughter of Alfarin the king of Alfheim (Bohuslän), which was the name of the area between Glomma and Göta älv, and inherited half the province of Vingulmark. They had a son, Olaf Gudrødsson.

When Alfhild died, Gudrød sent his warriors to Agder and its king, Harald, to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa. However, Harald Granraude declined, so Gudrød decided to take his daughter by force.

They arrived at night. When Harald realised that he was being attacked, he assembled his men and fought well, but died together with his son Gyrd. Gudrød carried away Åsa and married her. He raped her and she gave him a son named Halfdan who would be called Halfdan the Black.

In the fall, when Halfdan was a year old, Gudrød was having at a feast in Stiflesund. He was very drunk and in the evening, as he was walking on the gangway to leave the ship, an assassin thrust a spear through Gudrød, killing him. Gudrød's men instantly killed the assassin, who turned out to be Åsa's page-boy. Åsa admitted that the page-boy had acted on her behalf.

Gudrød den Stormodige

---

Gudrødr Veidikonung Hálfdanarson, King of Vestfold, received half the district of Vingulmark as the dowry for half the dowry of Ålfhild of Ålfheim.

He sent his men west to Agder, on his first wife's death, to the king who ruled there, and who was called Harald Redbeard. They were to make proposals to his daughter Aasa upon the king's account; but Harald declined the match, and the ambassadors returned to the king, and told him the result of their errand.

He succeeded his father, Halfdan the Mild.

Gudrødr also went by the name of Gudrod "the Hunting King" and Gudrod "the Magnificant".

He launched his ships against Agder landed, and came altogether unexpectedly at night to King Harald's house. When Harald was aware that an army was at hand, he went out with the men he had about him, and there was a great battle, although he wanted men so much. King Harald and his son Gyrd fell, and King Gudrod took a great booty. He carried away with him Åsa, King Harald's daughter, and had a wedding with her.

He had already married Álfhild Alfarinsdóttir, daughter of Alfarinn, King of Álfheim, Ruler of Vingulmark.

He was King at Vestfold, Norway, between 800 and 824.

He had a son called Halfdan; and the autumn that Halfdan was a year old Gudrod went upon a round of feasts. He lay with his ship in Stiflesund, where they had been drinking hard, so that the king was very tipsy. In the evening, about dark, the king left the ship; and when he had got to the end of the gangway from the ship to the shore, a man ran against him, thrust a spear through him, and killed him. The man was instantly put to death, and in the morning when it was light the man was discovered to be Åsa's page-boy: nor did she conceal that it was done by her orders.

Thus tells Thjodolf of it: --

"Gudrod is gone to his long rest,

Despite of all his haughty pride --

A traitor's spear has pierced his side:

For Aasa cherished in her breast

Revenge; and as, by wine opprest,

The hero staggered from his ship,

The cruel queen her thrall let slip

To do the deed of which I sing:

And now the far-descended king,

At Stiflesund, in the old bed

Of the old Gudrod race, lies dead."

26. GUDROD HALVDANSON - "Gudrod the Hunter" or Gudrod the Magnificent". He was King of Vestfold and Romerike until he was killed in 821. After Gudrod's wife died, he sent to King Harald of Agder for the hand of his daughter, Aasa of Agder, in marriage. He was so insulted and incensed when he was refused, he put to sea with a large fleet and many Viking warriors. He arrived at Agder where he killed the king and his son, then kidnapped Aasa and took her for his wife. Aasa had revenge by having one of her bondsmen kill Gudrod, after which she ruled in the name of her son who was less than one year old when his father was killed. Aasa is the Queen who is believed to have been buried in the Oseberg Viking ship, excavated in 1904 and now on exhibit in the Viking Ship Museum on Bygdoy in Oslo.

Gudrød Veidekonge Halvdansson. Konge på 800-tallet. Han var konge over Vestfold og Oslo området. Han var først gift med Alvhild Alvarinsdatter, fra Alvheim, og med henne fikk han sønnen Olav Geirstadalv Gudrødsson. Ved dette giftemålet fikk han av svigerfaren kong Alvarin en del av Vingulmark (omtrent nåværende Østfold). Alvhild døde i ung alder, etter få års ekteskap. Gudrød Veidekonge var en mektig konge. Da Alvhild var død sendte han sine menn vestover til kong Harald Raudskjegg (Granraude) på Agder, for å fri til hans datter Åsa. Men Agderkongen sa nei, og sendemennene måtte reiste tilbake til Gudrød med uforrettet sak. En stund etter satte Gudrød skipene på sjøen, og dro med mye folk til Agder. Der kom de om natten uventet til kong Haralds gård, og gikk til angrep. Da kong Harald ble klar over at en hær var kommet til gårds, samlet han sammen de få soldatene han hadde på gården. Det ble kamp - hvor kong Harald falt. Gudrød tok et stort krigsbytte, samt kongsdatteren Åsa. Han giftet seg med henne, og de fikk sønnen Halvdan Svarte Gudrødsson. Da han var årsgammel dro Gudrød om høsten på gjesting. En kveld var det et stort drikkelag, og kongen selv var svært full. Da det ble mørkt gikk Gudrød opp fra skipet, men da han kom på brygga sprang det en mann imot ham og stakk et spyd gjennom ham, noe som ble hans død. Drapsmannen ble straks drept. Om morgenen - da det var blitt lyst - kjente de igjen drapsmannen, som var skosvennen til dronning Åsa. Gudrød ble myrdet som hevn for drapet på Åsas far og bror. Hun fornektet heller ikke at drapet var skjedd etter hennes råd. Gudrød Veidekonges sønn Olav - fra første ekteskap - ble konge i Vestfold etter faren. Det er fortalt om ham at han var en mektig konge og en stor hærmann. Han døde av fotverk, og ble hauglagt på sin gård Geirstad (muligens Gjekstad i Sandar, nabogården til Gokstad, der Gokstadskipet ble funnet). Gudrød Veidekonges rike gikk i arv til sønnen Ragnvald. Senere ble Olav Gudrødsson dyrket som en slags godvette i området, og ble gjerne kalt for Olav Geirstadalv. Gudrød Veidekonge Halvdansson var konge over Vestfold og Oslo området.

BIOGRAFI:

Gudrød Veidekonge var konge i Vestfold og skal ha døydd i 839.

Gudrød var av Ynglingeætta og son av Halvdan den milde. Han var óg kalla den «Storlåtne».

Gudrød var gift to gonger, først med Alvhild, dotter av kong Alvarin frå Alvheim, og med henne fekk han halve Vingulmark, fortel Snorre Sturlason. Sonen deira er Olav Geirstada-Alv. Etter at Alvhild var daud, bela Gudrød til Åsa, dotter til Harald Granraude i Agder. Harald nekta dette, og Gudrød for med hærskip til Agder og røva Åsa. Harald og sonen hans, Gyrd, fall i slaget. Åsa vart mor til Halvdan Svarte.

Soga fortel at Gudrød vart drepen av skosveinen til Åsa. Dette har Snorre frå Ynglingatal, der det heiter:

Løyn-siger

den løynske tenaren

hennar Åsa vann

yvi kongen,

og på Stivlesunds

seng den gamle

drap han i hel

hovdingen gjæve.

Ein kan elles merke seg at det er likskap mellom dette drapet og skildringa av drapet på langobardarkongen Alboin, fortald hjå Paulus Diaconus. Alboin vart drepen av ein svein som var i teneste hjå dronninga Rosamunda.

Gudrød sat som konge i Skiringssal i Vestfold.

Halvdan Koht skriv dette om Gudrød:

Gudrød Veidekonge er den fyrste i kongsrekkja som vi har vitnemål um har namnet «konge»; hjå Tjodolv har han elles namet «den gjævlåtne». I hans dagar, i 843, høyrer vi um at vestfoldingane kom på vikingferd til Frankrike. Tjodolv kallar dronninga hans Åsa, og A. W. Brøgger meiner at det er haugen over henne dei har funne Osebergskipet i. Åsa var etter sogone mor til Halvdan Svarte; men Tjodolv i Ynglingatal fylgjer ikkje denne ættgreina, han fortel i staden som sonen, Olav Geirstadalv, som Gudrød hadde med ei anna kone, og sidan um hans son att, Ragnvald. Hadde han kvede um Halvdan, vilde han vel snautt ha sagt slikt um mor hans. Tjodolv var ikkje hirdskald hjå Harald Hårfagre heller. Norrøne Bokverk, band fire, note.

Konge av Vestfold, Romerike og Østfold. Konge over Vestfold, Hedmark, Toten, Hadeland og Jylland. Han er nok den samme som den Gotefrid Mikilathi som oponerte mot Karl den Store. Snorre: Gudrød ble kalt Gudrød den gjeve og Gudrød veidekonge, og fikk kongedømme etter faren sin. Gudrøds første kone het Alvhild, datter til kong Alvaren fra Alvheim, og med henne fikk han halve Vingulmark (Oslosyssel). Deres sønn var Olav, som siden ble kalt Geirstadalv. Alvheim var den gang landet mellom Raumelv (Glomma) og Gautelv (Gøtaelven). Da Alvhild var død, sendte Gudrød menn vest til Agder til Harald Granraude - de skulle fri til Åsa, datteren hans. Men Harald sa nei, og sendemennene reiste tilbake. En stund etter satte kong Gudrød skip på vannet, og så seilte han med en stor flåte vest til Agder. Han kom helt uventet på dem, gjorde landgang og kom til Haralds gård om natten. Da Harald merket at en hær var kommet over ham, gikk han ut med alt det folk han hadde. Det ble kamp, men overmakten ble for stor. Der falt Harald og Gyrd, sønnen hans. Kong Gudrød tok stort hærfang, han tok Åsa med seg hjem, og holdt bryllup med henne. Med henne fikk han sønnen Halvdan. Det året sønnen Halvdan var årsgammel dro kong Gudrød på veitsler. Han lå med skipene sine i Stivlesund. Det var mye å drikke der, kongen ble svært drukken, og om kvelden da det var mørkt, ville kongen i land. Da han kom på landgangen løp det en mann mot ham og stakk spydet gjennom ham, og det ble hans bane. Mannen ble drept straks, og om morgenen da det ble lyst, kjente de ham igjen - det var dronning Åsas skosvein. Hun la heller ikke skjul på at det var henne som hadde stått bak. Så sier Tjodolv: Gudrød ble den gjeve konge felt med svik for lenge siden. Mot høvdingen hevnsykt hode dødsråd la da han var drukken. Og Åsas ærendsvein snikmyrdet hjelmkjedd konge. Budlingen ble på bredden av Stivlesund stukket ned.

Hustru: Åsa Haraldsdatter

Børn: 1 Halvdan Gudrödson Svarte, d. 860 ca

Han var konge over Vestfold, Romerike og halve østfold fra ca 800 til 821

Gudrød Halvdansson Veidekonge (født ca. 780 død ca. 821) var ifølge Snorre Sturlason konge over Vestfold, Romerike og halve Vingulmark (omtrent dagens Østfold). Gudrød var (ifølge Snorre) sønn av Halvdan Øysteinsson den gavmilde og Liv Dagsdatter, og far til Olav Geirstadalv Gudrødsson og Halvdan Svarte. Frem til ca. 815 var han gift med Alvhild Alfarinsdatter (f. 790, og deretter med Åsa Haraldsdatter. Gudrød fikk halve Vingulmark som medgifte da han giftet seg med Alvhild, datter av kong Alvarin Alvheim fra Alvheim (Bohuslän). Etter Alfhilds tidlige død, la Gudrød ut på frierferd til Agder, etter datteren til kong Harald Granraude, Åsa. Harald avviste ham og Gudrød svarte med å ta livet av ham og hans sønn Gyrd, for så å røve med seg Åsa og ta henne til ektemake. Gudrød ble myrdet av dronning Åsas skosvein på ordre fra Åsa for mordet på hennes far og bror, og for å ha voldtatt henne. Gudrøds tilnavn Veidekonge kan oversettes «jegerkonge».

Mens skipet hans lå i “Stivlesund” (et ukjent sted), ble han offer for et snikmord. Morderen var Åsas skosvein, og det ble ikke lagt skjul på at hun stod bak. Hva som skjedde med Åsa etterpå, sies det ingenting om i sagaene.

Gudrød Veidekonge – og for så vidt også Åsa (men ikke nødvendigvis under dette navnet) – må oppfattes som gamle sagnskikkelser i skandinavisk/nordeuropeisk sammenheng. Gudrød svarer som skikkelse i noen grad til en legendarisk dansk konge, Godofridus, som regjerte på begynnelsen av 800-tallet og er nevnt i frankiske kilder. Men han har også lånt trekk fra andre “Gudrød”-skikkelser (blant dem en norsk Dublin-konge). Ifølge en av de frankiske kildene ble Godofridus drept i et familiedrama, og hustruen stod bak drapet.
