Ynglinger
The Ynglinger or "Inglinger" were the oldest royal family in Sweden . It resided in Sigtuna and Alt-Uppsala and exercised supremacy over the jugglers of the tribes. Under their rule, the Norwegian petty princes began to gather under a common crown. Christianity found its way into the region under its second historically documented king, Olof Skötkonung .
Kings of the Ynglingers
There were four historically documented kings in this dynasty:
- Erik VIII. Segersäll (“the joyful one”), 970–995
- Olof Skötkonung , 995-1022
- Anund Jakob , 1022-1050
- Emund den gamle ("the old one"), 1050–1060

They are particularly known from the Heimskringla , the heroic saga of the early kings of Norway, and the Beowulf saga, in which they appear as Scylfings .
