An alternative reconstruction would make Gudfred identical to the Gudröd of Ynglingatal, semi-legendary king of Vestfold and himself son of Halfdan the Mild, who would then be the grandfather of Hemming.

Eystein was succeeded by his son Halfdan the Mild.

Halfdan the Mild died of illness in his bed.

He was the son of Halfdan the Mild, king of Romerike and Vestfold, and Liv, daughter of King Dag of Vestmar.

* Halfdan the Mild

** Halfdan the Mild, son of king Eystein Halfdansson, of House of Yngling

Harald Fairhair or Harald Finehair ( Old Norse: Haraldr hárfagri, Norwegian: Harald Hårfagre ), ( c. 850 – c. 932 ), son of Halfdan the Black, was the first king ( 872 – 930 ) of Norway.

Halfdan the Black ( Old Norse: Halfdanr Svarti ) ( – ) was a ninth-century king of Vestfold.

* In the Skáldskaparmál section of Snorri Sturluson's Edda Snorri brings in the ancient king Halfdan the Old who is the father of nine sons whose names are all words meaning ' king ' or ' lord ' in Old Norse and nine other sons who are the forefathers of various royal lineages, including " Yngvi, from whom the Ynglings are descended ".

Halfdan the Old ( Old Norse: Hálfdanr gamli and Hálfdanr inn gamli ) was an ancient, legendary king from whom descended many of the most notable lineages of legend.

A second Halfdan the Old is the purported great-grandfather of Ragnvald Eysteinsson.

There was a king named Halfdan the Old, who was most famous of all kings.

Snorri then immediately mentions what seem to be intended as four famous houses not descended from Halfdan the Old:

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 Ættartolur, the genealogies appended to the Hversu Noregr byggdist in the Flatey Book introduce Halfdan the Old as the ruler of Ringiríki ( a territory including modern Ringerike and Valdres in Oppland ).

Bragi the Old gamli was king of Valdres and father of Agnar, father of Álf, father of Eirík ( Eiríkr ), father of Hild ( Hildr ) the mother of Halfdan the Generous, the father of Gudröd ( Guðrǫðr ) the Hunter, father of Halfdan the Black, father of Harald Fairhair.

The Orkneying saga does not speak at all of Nór's descendants, but introduces instead a figure named Halfdan the Old as the son of Sveidi ( Sveiði ) the Sea-king, who is called Svadi ( Svaði ) in the Ættartolur.

This second Halfdan the Old is father of Jarl Ívar of the Uplands who married a daughter of a certain Eistein and so became father of Eystein the Clatterer ( Eysteinn Glumra ) who was father of Jarl Rögnvald of Møre and of Rögnvald's brother Sigurd Eysteinsson, and also of two daughters: Svanhild who was one of King Harald Fairhair's wives and another daughter named Malahule.

In 1220 AD ( c .), in the Skáldskaparmál section of Edda, Sturluson discusses King Halfdan the Old, Nór's great-grandson, and nine of his sons who are the forefathers of various royal lineages, including " Yngvi, from whom the Ynglings are descended ".

The ' genealogies ' also claims that many heroic families famed in Scandinavian tradition but not located in Norway were of a Finn-Kven stock, mostly sprung from Nór's great-grandson Halfdan the Old.

According to Hversu Noregr byggðist and Njáls saga, he was the son of Halfdan the Valiant ( also given as his father in the Ynglinga saga and the Hervarar saga ), son of Harald the Old, son of Valdar, son of Roar ( Hroðgar ) of the house of Skjöldung ( Scylding ).

But F speaks only of Gór's son Heiti as the father of Sveidi ( Sveiði ) the father of Halfdan the Old, who confusingly is named identically to Halfdan the Old who is a descendant of Nór.

See Halfdan the Old to follow this lineage further.

Halfdan (,, Medieval, Proto-Norse: * Halbadaniz, " half Dane ") was a late 5th and early 6th century legendary Danish king of the Scylding ( Skjöldung ) lineage, the son of king named Fróði in many accounts, noted mainly as the father to the two kings who succeeded him in the rule of Denmark, kings named Hroðgar and Halga in the Old English poem Beowulf and named Hróar and Helgi in Old Norse accounts.

The name Gandalf is found in at least one more place in Norse myth, in the semihistorical Heimskringla, which briefly describes Gandalf Alfgeirsson, a legendary Norse king from Eastern Norway and rival of Halfdan the Black.

The names of numerous figures from different periods of Norse history and lore are used for characters in the movie, including Freya, Loki, Halfdan the Black, Ivar the Boneless, Thorfinn Skullsplitter, Leif the Lucky, and Mord Fiddle.

This may be Froda the Heathobard of Beowulf who becomes Fróði the slayer of Halfdan in other Norse traditions which do not make his end peaceful.

Thus the tradition in Beowulf of a feud between the Danes and Heathobards in which Fróda king of the Heathobards was slain appears in Norse texts as a family feud in which Halfdan's brother Fróði kills Halfdan and Halfdan's sons kill Fróði.

Harold leaves two sons behind named Harald and Halfdan, and the story of their vengeance on their uncle Fróði for killing their father Harald is almost identical to that found in Norse texts about Hróar and Helgi's vengeance on their uncle Fróði for killing their father Halfdan.

Halfdan Whiteshanks ( Old Norse: Hálfdan hvítbeinn ) was a mythical petty king in Norway, described in the Ynglinga saga.

Eystein Halfdansson ( Old Norse: Eysteinn Hálfdansson ) was the son of Halfdan Hvitbeinn of the House of Yngling according to Heimskringla.

Some kings ( e. g. Athisl / Adils, Hunding / Fjölnir, Halfdan, Sigurd Ring, Ragnar Lodbrok and Erik and Alrik ) are based on the same traditions as the West Norse Ynglingatal, Ynglinga saga and Historia Norwegiae.

Victims of the method of execution, as mentioned in skaldic poetry and the Norse sagas, are believed to have included King Ælla of Northumbria, Halfdan son of King Haraldr Hárfagri of Norway, King Maelgualai of Munster, and possibly Archbishop Ælfheah of Canterbury.

Old Norse persons with the name Halfdan (" half Dane ") ( Old Norse sources ) or Healfdene ( Beowulf ) or Haldan ( Danish Latin sources ) were probably kings.

For the legendary king of Beowulf who also appears in Norse mythology, see Halfdan.

The Old Norse name from which Dringhouses is derived, indicates the villagers were the descendants of Halfdan, the Viking leader who had taken the area from the Angles and had shared the land among his warriors in 876.

Halvdanshaugen, ( from the Old Norse word haugr meaning mound ) is one of several burial sites attributed to Halfdan the Black.

Halfdan the Valiant ( Hálfdan snjalli ) ( 7th century ) was the legendary father of Ivar Vidfamne according to Hervarar saga, the Ynglinga saga, Njal's Saga and Hversu Noregr byggdist.

Hring married the daughter of a sea-king named Vifil ( Vifill ) by whom he was the father of Halfdan the Old ( Hálfdan gamli ).
