When Eadgils ' mound ( to the left in the photo ) was excavated in 1874, the finds supported Beowulf and the sagas.

West royal tumulus at Gamla Uppsala | Old Uppsala, suggested grave of King Eadgils ( photo: Jacob Truedson Demitz ) Eadgils, Adils, Aðils, Adillus, Aðísl at Uppsölum, Athisl, Athislus or Adhel was a semi-legendary king of Sweden, who is estimated to have lived during the 6th century.

The A-S form would have been * Ædgils, but Eadgils ( Proto-Norse * Auða-gīslaz, * auða-meaning " wealth ") was the only corresponding name used by the Anglo-Saxons.

The Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf, which was composed sometime between the 8th century and the 11th century, is beside the Norwegian skaldic poem Ynglingatal ( 9th century ) the oldest source that mentions Eadgils.

It is implied in Beowulf that the Swedish king Ohthere died and was succeeded by his younger brother Onela, because Ohthere's two sons, Eadgils and Eanmund had to seek refuge with Heardred, Hygelac's son and successor as king of the Geats.

She was later taken by the Swedish king Aðils ( Eadgils ) as his queen, which made Helgi even unhappier.

This account differs from Hrólf Kraki's saga in the respect that Yrsa was first peacefully married to Eadgils, and later captured by Halga, who raped her and made her pregnant with Hroðulf.

Learning that Halga was her father, she returned to Saxland from where Eadgils kidnapped her.

The Skjöldunga saga was used by Snorri Sturluson as a source when he told the story of Aðils ( Eadgils ) and Yrsa.

He usurped the Swedish throne, but was killed by his nephew Eadgils, who won by hiring foreign assistance.

Eysteinn ( Swedish: Östen ; died ca 600 ) was the son of Eadgils and Yrsa of Saxony.

Snorri talks of the animosity between Eadgils and Onela ( which also appears in Beowulf ), and writes that Aðils ( Eadgils ) was at war with a Norwegian king named Áli ( Onela ).

She was later taken by the Swedish king Aðils ( Eadgils ) as his queen, which made Helgi even more unhappy.

Eanmund was the son of Ohthere, and was the brother of Eadgils.

The scholar Frederick Klaeber speculates that though Onela himself did not seek a feud with Weohstan, once Onela was dead and Eanmund's brother Eadgils became king of the Swedes, Weohstan found it prudent to leave the service of the Scylfings, and this is how he came to be living among the Geats.

Several sources mention that he was married to Skuld, who according to Angrim's summary of the lost Skjöldunga saga was the daughter of Aðils the Swedish king ( called Eadgils in Beowulf ).

Perhaps they were a dynasty or clan competing for power with Offa over the rule of the Angles, though Offa slew two Myrging princes, probably the sons of Eadgils ( not to be confused with the Swedish king Eadgils ); this Eadgils was later killed by Ket and Wig, the sons of Freawine, a governor of Schleswig who challenged Eadgils to combat while he was pillaging in the Angle lands.

Finds from Eadgils ' mound, left, excavated in 1874 at Gamla Uppsala | Uppsala In Sweden supported Beowulf and the sagas.

He invaded Sweden with such a large army that king Aðils ( Eadgils ) could not do anything else but to flee Uppsala.

Eadgils, however, survived and according to the poem Beowulf later helped him avenge Eanmund and Ohthere by slaying Onela, an event which also appears in Scandinavian sources.

The dating of the events in the poem has been confirmed by archaeological excavations of the barrows indicated by Snorri Sturluson and by Swedish tradition as the graves of Ohthere ( dated to c. 530 ) and his son Eadgils ( dated to c. 575 ) in Uppland, Sweden.

In Snorri Sturluson's Ynglinga saga, a part of the Heimskringla, he mentions the tradition of Halga, Eadgils and Yrsa, and he based his account on the Skjöldunga saga ( he had access to the now lost original version ).

This does not only concern people ( e. g., Healfdene, Hroðgar, Halga, Hroðulf, Eadgils and Ohthere ), but also clans ( e. g., Scyldings, Scylfings and Wulfings ) and some of the events ( e. g., the Battle on the Ice of Lake Vänern ).

Like the Finnsburg Fragment and several shorter surviving poems, Beowulf has consequently been used as a source of information about Scandinavian personalities such as Eadgils and Hygelac, and about continental Germanic personalities such as Offa, king of the continental Angles.

In Beowulf, the hero Beowulf aids Eadgils in Eadgils ' war against Onela.

Moreover, in both traditions, the mentioned characters were the contemporaries of the Swedish king Eadgils ; and both traditions also mention a feud with men named Froda and Ingeld.

While his predecessor and possible father, king Aldegisel ( or Eadgils, Aldgisl which can be translated as ' Old Whip '), had welcomed Christianity into his realm, Radbod attempted to extirpate the religion and free the Frisians from subjugation to the Merovingian kingdom of the Franks.

It can refer to the clans of the Scylfings ( Old Norse Skilfingar ), the semi-legendary royal Swedish clan during the Age of Migrations, with kings such as Eadgils, Onela and Ohthere.

The reason why they are thought to have been the same is that they have the same position in the line of Swedish kings and are described as the fathers of Ohthere and grandfathers of Eadgils.

However, Scandinavian sources mostly deal with his interaction with the legendary Danish king Hrólfr Kraki ( Hroðulf ), and Eadgils is mostly presented in a negative light as a rich and greedy king.

She appears in several versions relating to her husband, the Swedish king Eadgils, and / or to her father and rapist / lover / husband Halga ( the younger brother of king Hroðgar who received Beowulf ) and their son Hroðulf.

His brother the Danish king Ro is the same as Hroðgar, Roluo is the same as Hroðulf / Rolf Krage, and the Swedish king Athislus is the same as Eadgils, the Swedish king of Beowulf.
