Gudrød the Hunter ( Old Norse: Guðrǫðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Veidekonge ), also known as the Magnificent ( Old Norse: enn gǫfugláti, Norwegian: den gjeve ), is a legendary character portrayed in the Norse sagas as a Norwegian petty king in the early 9th century.

While Gudrød is portrayed as a king in Oppland in some older texts, Snorri writes that he was a king in Vestfold.

According to Snorri, Gudrød was called both " the Magnificent " and " the Hunter ", while Ynglingatal only refers to him as " the Magnificent ".

According to the Orkneyinga Saga, Torf-Einarr the 10th century Norse Earl of Orkney killed Hálfdan Longlegs on North Ronaldsay in revenge for Hálfdan and his brother Gudrød Ljome's slaying of Rögnvald Eysteinsson, Torf-Einarr's father.

He was very drunk and in the evening, as he was walking on the gangway to leave the ship, an assassin thrust a spear through Gudrød, killing him.

According to Heimskringla and Fagsrkinna, Halfdan was the son of the Yngling King Gudrød the Hunter.

He was the son of Gudrød the Hunter and according to the late Heimskringla, the half-brother of Halfdan the Black.

Hálfdan and Gudrød, who were the sons of King Harald Finehair of Norway had trapped Rögnvald in his house and set it alight.

Harald, apparently appalled by his sons ' actions, overthrew Gudrød and restored Rögnvald's lands to his son, Thorir Rögnvaldarson, whilst Hálfdan fled westwards to Orkney and displaced Torf-Einarr.

He was succeeded by his son, Gudrød the Hunter.

Gudrød was a member of the House of Yngling.

Gudrød inherited half the province of Vingulmark.

When Alfhild died, Gudrød sent his men to the king of Agder, Harald Granraude, to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa.

When Harald declined, Gudrød decided to take Åsa by force.

Gudrød thereafter captured Åsa and married her.

After Gudrød was killed, Åsa took the 1 year-old Halfdan and returned to Agder, where Halfdan was raised.
