One of the sons of Odin was Yngvi, founder of the Ynglingar, an early royal family of Sweden.

The High King of the Elves in the West was Ingwë, an echo of the name Yngvi often found as a name for Frey, whose abode was in Álfheim according to the Grímnismál.

Then the Inguaeones, ( the " people of Yngvi "), begin.

They were all slain at Samsø, by the Swedish champion Hjalmar, and his Norwegian sworn brother Orvar-Odd ; but Hjalmar, being wounded by Tyrfing ( its first evil deed ), has only time to sing his death-song before he dies, and asks Orvar-Odd to bring his body to Ingeborg, daughter of Yngvi at Uppsala.

In Scandinavian mythology, Yngvi, alternatively Yngve, was the progenitor of the Yngling lineage, a legendary dynasty of Swedish kings from whom the earliest historical Norwegian kings in turn claimed to be descended, see also Freyr.

* Yngvi is a name of the god Freyr, perhaps intended as Freyr's true name while Frey ' Lord ' is his common title.

* In the Íslendingabók Yngvi Tyrkja konungr ' Yngvi king of Turkey ' appears as father of Njörd who in turn is the father of Yngvi-Freyr, the ancestor of the Ynglings.

He gave Sweden to his son Yngvi and Denmark to his son Skjöldr.

* In the introduction to Snorri Sturluson's Edda Snorri claims again that Odin reigned in Sweden and relates: " Odin had with him one of his sons called Yngvi, who was king in Sweden after him ; and those houses come from him that are named Ynglings.

" Snorri here does not identify Yngvi and Frey though Frey occasionally appears elsewhere as a son of Odin instead of a son of Njörd.

In the related account in the Ættartolur (' Genealogies ') attached to Hversu Noregr byggdist, the name Skelfir appears instead of Yngvi in the list of Halfdan's sons.

( The Yngling Saga section of Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla also introduces a second Yngvi son of Alrek who is a descendant of Yngvi-Frey and who shared the Swedish kingship with his brother Álf.

See Yngvi and Alf.

But Yngvi has been previously named as a son of Halfdan the Old and the Skjöldungs and Skilfings are counted among Halfdan's descendants in the Hyndluljód.

The list of the second nine sons has Skelfir instead of Yngvi and the form Næfil ( Næfill ) instead of Nefir.

The Angles were part of the Federation of the Ingaevones, with their mythical ancestor and god of fertility Yngvi, and both terms might well share the same root ( inglish -> anglish ), say as the origin of the federation.

Some identify the sons as Freyr ( aka Yngvi ) and Thor and Odin ( aka Jormun ) of the Icelandic Eddas.

" Ingo " means " protected by Yngvi ", who is the main god for the Ingvaeones, and is probably a different name for the Germanic god Freyr.

Yngvi is ancestor of a legendary Swedish Ynglings.

See Yngvi for discussions of this personage who is mostly identical with Frey in extant texts, even though in almost all sources Frey ( often called Yngvi-Frey ) is instead the son of Njörd.
