This is considered a legendary or fictional person from the Norse sagas/mythology. The profile is being retained on WikiTree because the profile appears in many popular genealogies.

Because persons who never existed cannot have actual parents, siblings, spouses, or children, profiles of legendary persons should not be linked to other profiles on WikiTree. The birth year does not represent an actual birth year for this profile, it is only added because all WT profiles must have a birth or death date.

Biografi

Visbur var enligt sagorna kung i Svitjod, precis som sin far Vanlande och farfar Sveigder.

Enligt Snorre Sturlasson

Visburs första fru var dotter till Aude den mäktige och de fick två söner; Gisl/Gisle och Önder. Han lämnade sin henne och fick sonen Domalde med en annan kvinna. När sönerna från det första äktenskapet blivit vuxna reste de till sin far och brände honom inne i hans eget hus. Trollkvinnan Hulda la en förbannelse över Ynglingaätten som innebar att det hedanefter alltid skulle förekomma släktdråp.

Biography

According to Snorri Sturluson

Visbur was first married to a daughter of Aude the Rich with whom he had two sons; Gisle and Ond. But he left her and had the son Domald with another woman. The two sons from the first marriage grew up and burned their father to death in his house. ^[1]The sorceress Hulda put a spell on the family and thereafter murder of his own kin would follow the House of Yngling until the end of time.

According to Johan Peringskiöld

Peringskiöld has estimated Visbur's death to 98 AD.^[2] However, Peringskiöld is not to be considered as a reliable source, he is known to have made facts up and did not use scholarly criticism as done in modern days.^[3]See also Sources for Early Swedish Monarchs for more information about Peringskiöld.

House of Yngling

The kings before year 800 can be considered fictional characters. The sources for their existens are stories such as Ynglingasagan by Snore Sturlason, written early 13th century, and Beuwulf, an English heroic poem which oldest written source is from year 1000. The Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus, wrote down Gesta danorum at the end of the 12th century and its value as a source has been questioned. The Ynglinga-kings are to be considered as fictional characters but they are a part of the cultural inheritance.
