Biography

According to Heimskringla, Ingjald illráða was the father of Óláfr trételgja. Olof's mother was Gauthildr, daughter of king Algaute and Álöf, whose father was Kong Olaf Skarpøie af Nærike. Óláfr trételgja and his wife Sölva had two sons, Ingjald and Halfdan.[1]


Ynglingasaga

Ingjald was son of Olof Treefeller Ignaldsson and Solveig Halfdansdotter and brother of Halfdan Hvitbein. He was king of Vermeland and pre-deceased his brother. [2]


Research Note

  • 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.
  • This profile has been listed as the son of King Olaf The Keeneyed. [3] and been incorrectly attached as a son of a Halfdan.
    • There is already a duplicate of this profile with a matching date; I suspect this profile has been associated with the wrong Olof, and that the Halfdan involved was his brother. Østenstad-1 20:08, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

None-306 and Olafsson-6 appear to represent the same person because: Matching names and dates. One of the profiles was formerly attached to Olof 200 years too early. There aren't too many other Ingjald Olofssons in the sagas, so these are fairly clear duplicates. Locations should probably be sorted, if possible.
Could you please explain who this profile is supposed to represent?

Detaching Igjald Olofson from wrong father Halfdan. Attaching to Olaf the sharp-sighted as per the bio.
