"Trekalia" (tree-hewer); King of Vermaland in Sweden; sacrificed his own people in time of famine; the last Yngling ruler of Uppsala; settled in West Sweden.

Called 'trekalia," i.e., "tree-hewer." King of Vermaland in Sweden; sacrificed his own people in time of famine; the last Yngling ruler of Uppsala; settled in West Sweden.

Olof Trätälja
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Olaf Tree Feller (Old Norse: Ólafr trételgja, Swedish: Olof Trätälja, Norwegian: Olav Tretelgja) was the son of the Swedish king Ingjald Ill-ruler of the House of Yngling according to Ynglingatal.
[edit]

Heimskringla

His mother was Gauthild, a princess of West götaland, whose maternal grandfather was Olof the Sharp-sighted, the king of Nerike.

His mother sent him to his foster-father Bove in West Götaland, where he grew up with his foster-brother Saxe who was surnamed Flette.

When Olof heard of his father's death, he assembled the men who were willing to follow him and went to his kinsmen in Nerike, because after his father's atrocities, the Swedes had grown hostile towards the Ynglings.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof and his kin had sought refuge in Nerike, they were attacked and had to head west through deep and mountainous forests (Kilsbergen) to Lake Vänern and the estuary of Klarälven (where Karlstad is presently situated). Here, they settled and cleared land. Soon they had created a whole province called Värmland, where they could make good living.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof was clearing land, they were amused and called him the Tree-feller. Olof married a woman named Solveig who was a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand of Soleyar. Olof and Solveigh had two sons, Ingjald Olofsson and Halfdan Hvitbeinn, who were brought up in Soleyar in the house of his mother's uncle Sölve.

Because of king Ivar Vidfamne and his harsh rule many Swedes emigrated to Värmland, and they became so numerous that the province could not sustain them. The land was afflicted by famine of which the Swedes accused the king. It was an old tradition in Sweden of holding the king responsible for the wealth of the land (see Domalde). The Swedes accused Olof of neglecting his sacrifices to the gods and believed that this was the cause of the famine.

The Swedish settlers thus rebelled against Olof, surrounded his house on the shores of lake Vänern and burnt him inside it. Thus he was sacrificed to Odin, like his ancestor Domalde.
[edit]

Ynglingatal and Historia Norwegiae

However, Historia Norwegiae says that Olof succeeded his father and ruled as the king of Sweden in peace until his death.

diu et pacifice functus regno plenus dierum obiit in Swethia

The lines of Ynglingatal appear to say that he was a Swedish prince (svía jöfri), and that he was burnt inside his hall and disappeared from Gamla Uppsala.
[edit]

Archaeology

Source

Along the lower parts of the river Byälven in Värmland, there are three large barrows, which legend attributes to Olof Trätälja. Moreover, there are many hillforts near this river and the northern shore of Lake Vänern testifying to a violent period. Archaeological excavations from one of the hillforts, Villkorsberget, show that it was burnt in a period corresponding to Olof (510–680).

The kingly line [of Norway], which Snorri [Sturlusson, 13th century historian] traces claimed descent from the ancient Yngling kings who ruled at Uppsala in Sweden. Their legendary Yngling ancestor was Olof Tretelgia Ingjaldsson, who had escaped the aftermath of his father's conflagration by fleeing to Norway.
Her King Olof earned his nickname, which means "the Woodcutter", by clearing the forest and cultivating the land. He named his new domain Varmland and such a large group of Swedes followed him there "that the land could not give them sustenance."

"Olaf, the son of Ingjald the Ill-Advised, king in Sweden, cleared Vermaland. He was called Olaf the Tree-Feller. He was fostered in West Gautland by a man named Bofi. Bofi's son was named Saxi, who was called the Plunderer. Olaf's mother was Gauthild, the daughter of King Algaut, who was the son of King Gautrek the Mild, son of Gaut, after whom Gautland is named. Alof was the mother of Gauthild, daughter of King Olaf the Clear-Sighted, king in Naeriki. At that time, Ivar Widegrasp had conquered all Denmark and Sweden, and so Olaf and a great multitude of his folk fled, and were proclaimed outlaws by King Ivar. They went north to Vaeni, and cleared the forests and settled in a large area that they called Vermaland, and the Swedes elected Olaf the Tree-Feller, and he was their king until old age."
His mother sent him to his foster-father Bove in West Götaland, where he grew up with his foster-brother Saxe who was surnamed Flette.
When Olof heard of his father's death, he assembled the men who were willing to follow him and went to his kinsmen in Nerike, because after his father's atrocities, the Swedes had grown hostile towards the Ynglings.

[Jeremiah Brown.FTW]

Olaf immigrated with his followers from Uppsala in Sweden to Vermeland, which he made habitable by clearing away a great deal of the timber, from which he gets his name Tretelgja, tree-feller.

Ur Snorre Sturlasons Heims-Kringla, Ynglingasagan, kapitel 45, citeras följande (översättning av Emanuel S Ekman 1765):
"Nu som Olof, Konung Ingjalds Son, fick höra sin Faders frånfälle, drog han af med det folk, som honom följa wille; ty at all den gemene man gorde endräkteliga upror, til at förderfwa hela Kung Ingjalds släckt och alla hans wänner. Olof reste först up til Nerike, men så snart som de swenske fingo det weta, fick han icke längre där wara. Sedan drog han wäster öfwer marken, til den ån, som rinner nordan ifrån uti Wänern, och kallas elfwen (fellur i vöni oc Elfur heitir). Ther dwaldes the, och begynte at rödja marken, hugga skogen, bränna och bygga, hwaraf innom en liten tid blefwo stora härader, som kallades Wärmeland, som blef et godt och fruktsamt landskap. Men som det spordes til Swrie om bemälte Olof, at han uthögg skogen och rögde markena, tå kallade de honom Trätelja, och tyckte hans förehafwande wara mycket förakteligt."

Han bosatte sig i Värmland där han bröt mark och skapade sig ett välde. När man i Svitjod fick höra att Olof röjde skogar kallade man honom spefullt för "trätälja" eftersom han ägnade sig åt en sådan "smädlig" verksamhet.

"Då for han västerut genom skogarna till den å som norrifrån faller ut i Vänern och heta Älv. Där slog han och hans folk sig ner och började röja skogen och svedja och bränna och sedan bebygga landet och där vart brått stora härad, som de kallade Värmland. Där var gott land."

Efter en hungersnöd offras han till Oden och bränns inne i sitt hus. Olof fick skulden eftersom han inte blotade. En annan version är att han for till Norge. Han ska ha varit gift med Solveig.

46. OF OLAF THE TREE-FELLER.

When Olaf, King Ingjald's son, heard of his father's end, he went
with the men who chose to follow him to Nerike; for all the
Swedish community rose with one accord to drive out Ingjald's
family and all his friends. Now, when the Swedes got
intelligence of him he could not remain there, but went on
westwards, through the forest, to a river which comes from the
north and falls into the Venner lake, and is called Klar river.
There they sat themselves down, turned to and cleared the woods,
burnt, and then settled there. Soon there were great districts;
which altogether were called Vermeland; and a good living was to
be made there. Now when it was told of Olaf, in Sweden, that he
was clearing the forests, they laughed at his proceedings, and
called him the Tree-feller. Olaf got a wife called Solva, or
Solveig, a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand, westward in Soleyar.
Halfdan was a son of Solve Solvarson, who was a son of Solve the
Old, who first settled on these islands. Olaf Tree-feller's
mother was called Gauthild, and her mother was Alov, daughter of
Olaf the Sharp-sighted, king in Nerike. Olaf and Solva had two
sons: Ingjald and Halfdan. Halfdan was brought up in Soleyar, in
the house of his mother's brother Solve, and was called Halfdan
Hvitbein.

47. OLAF THE TREE-FELLER'S DEATH.

There were a great many people who fled the country from Sweden,
on account of King Ivar; and when they heard that King Olaf had
got good lands in Vermeland, so great a number came there to him
that the land could not support them. Then there came dear times
and famine, which they ascribed to their king; as the Swedes used
always to reckon good or bad crops for or against their kings.
The Swedes took it amiss that Olaf was sparing in his sacrifices,
and believed the dear times must proceed from this cause. The
Swedes therefore gathered together troops, made an expedition
against King Olaf, surrounded his house and burnt him in it,
giving him to Odin as a sacrifice for good crops. This happened
at the Venner lake. Thus tells Thjodolf of it: --

"The temple wolf, by the lake shores,
The corpse of Olaf now devours.
The clearer of the forests died
At Odin's shrine by the lake side.
The glowing flames stripped to the skin
The royal robes from the Swedes' king.
Thus Olaf, famed in days of yore,
Vanished from earth at Venner's shore."

När svenskarna fick veta att Olof och hans anhöriga hade sökt skydd i Nerike var de attackerades och tvingades huvud västerut genom djupgående och bergiga skogar ( Kilsbergen ) till Vänern och mynningen i Klarälven (där Karlstad nu ligger) . Här bosatte de sig och röjde . Snart hade de skapat en hel provins som kallas Värmland , där de skulle kunna göra bra boende.

När svenskarna fick veta att Olof var clearing land , de var roade och kallade honom Tree- huggare . Olof gifte sig med en kvinna vid namn Solveig som var dotter till Halfdan Guldtand av Soleyar . Olof och Solveig hade två söner , Ingjald Olofsson och Halfdan Hvitbeinn , som vuxit upp i Soleyar i huset av hans mors morbror Sölve .

På grund av kung Ivar Vidfamne och hans hårda regel många svenskar utvandrade till Värmland , och de blev så många att provinsen inte kunde upprätthålla dem. Landet var drabbat av hungersnöd som svenskarna anklagade kungen. Det var en gammal tradition i Sverige att hålla kungen som ansvarar för den rikedom av marken. Svenskarna anklagade Olof för att försumma sina offer till gudarna och trodde att detta var orsaken till svält.

De svenska nybyggarna därmed gjorde uppror mot Olof , omringade hans hus vid stranden av sjön Vänern och brände honom i den. Således är han offrades till Oden , som hans förfader Domalde .

Noterade händelser i hans liv var:

• Han var en Konung i Norge.

Olav gifte sig med Solveig Halvdansdatter AV Solør , dotter till Halvdan Gulltann och okända, ca 670 i Norge. ( Solveig Halvdansdatter AV Solør föddes omkring 650 i Solør , Norge och dog omkring 695 i Norge. )

Olav Tretelgja var ein konge or Ynglingeætta, son av Ingjald Illråde. Han er den første som etter segna fekk odel i Noreg[manglar kjelde].

Olav laut røme frå Svitjod eller Svealand etter at far hans fall, av di sveane ikkje ville ha meir med ynglingane å gjere. Han vart jaga til skogbygdene i Värmland, som han rydda, og slik fekk han og namnet sitt, av di han sjølv var med og hogg tømmer der. Olav ekta dottera til kong Halvdan Gulltann i Solør, Solveig, og dei fekk sønene Ingjald og Halvdan Kvitbein.

Olav vart innebrend av di sviane i Värmland trudde han gav dei dårlege år. Motsett dei førre ynglingekongane nekta han å blote. Seinare vart det røynd at uåra kom av stor folkevekst i landet, og kongen hadde ikkje skulda. Folk valde då Halvdan, sonen til Olav, til konge for seg.

Noteringar
Småkung i Värmland, Svitjod. Född 630 i Gamla Uppsala (C). Död 690 i Svitjod, Säffle (S). Eftersom svearna hade bestämt sig att fördriva faderns ätt fortsatte Olav till Värmland och röjde skog, brände och byggde och blev därigenom kung i Värmland. Många svear strömmade till Värmland. Det blev därför svår hungersnöd och svält. De inflyttade svearna skyllde detta på sin kung och påstod att denne inte blotat tillräcligt mycket. Därför samlade de en här och belägrade Olavs hus och brände honom inne. Detta skedde vid Vänern. Makarna hade två söner Ingjald och Halfdan. Ingjald blev kung i Värmland. (Källa: Ynglingasagan) Vattenvägen från Säffle till Arvika kallas även Vikingaleden och detta får man väl också tillskriva Olof Trätälja. Ett arrangemang under sommaren med anknytning till detta är Vikingaveckan som inleds i Säffle och fortsätter i Arvika. Ingjald Illråde var far till Olof Trätälja och efter Ingjalds död skall Olof ha blivit fördriven av Ivar Vidfamne. Olof tog då sin tillflykt till Värmland där han grundade ett nytt rike och bröt ny mark. Det var denna nybyggargärning som gav honom tillnamnet Trätälja. Olof Trätälja är begravd i Säffle och hans gravhög vid gamla vattentornet är Värmlands största gravhög. (Källa: Thomas Jansson)

Heimskringla

His mother was Gauthild, a princess of West Götaland, whose maternal grandfather was Olof the Sharp-sighted, the king of Nerike.

His mother sent him to his foster-father Bove in West Götaland, where he grew up with his foster-brother Saxe who was surnamed Flette.

When Olof heard of his father's death, he assembled the men who were willing to follow him and went to his kinsmen in Nerike, because after his father's atrocities, the Swedes had grown hostile towards the Ynglings.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof and his kin had sought refuge in Nerike, they were attacked and had to head west through deep and mountainous forests (Kilsbergen) to Lake Vänern and the estuary of Klarälven (where Karlstad is presently situated). Here, they settled and cleared land. Soon they had created a whole province called Värmland, where they could make good living.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof was clearing land, they were amused and called him the Tree-feller. Olof married a woman named Solveig who was a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand of Soleyar. Olof and Solveigh had two sons, Ingjald Olofsson and Halfdan Hvitbeinn, who were brought up in Soleyar in the house of his mother's uncle Sölve.

Because of king Ivar Vidfamne and his harsh rule many Swedes emigrated to Värmland, and they became so numerous that the province could not sustain them. The land was afflicted by famine of which the Swedes accused the king. It was an old tradition in Sweden of holding the king responsible for the wealth of the land (see Domalde). The Swedes accused Olof of neglecting his sacrifices to the gods and believed that this was the cause of the famine.

The Swedish settlers thus rebelled against Olof, surrounded his house on the shores of lake Vänern and burnt him inside it. Thus he was sacrificed to Odin, like his ancestor Domalde.

The kingly line [of Norway], which Snorri [Sturlusson, 13th century historian] traces claimed descent from the ancient Yngling kings who ruled at Uppsala in Sweden. Their legendary Yngling ancestor was Olof Tretelgia Ingjaldsson, who had escaped the aftermath of his father's conflagration by fleeing to Norway.

King Olof earned his nickname, which means "the Woodcutter", by clearing the forest and cultivating the land. He named his new domain Varmland and such a large group of Swedes followed him there "that the land could not give them sustenance."

After a season of bad harvests, the woodcutting king was sacrificed to Odin so that his people might have good crops. He was succeeded by his son Halfdan Whiteleg, who is said to have extended his rule over much of southern Norway.

[edit] Archaeology
Source
Along the lower parts of the river Byälven in Värmland, there are three large barrows, which legend attributes to Olof Trätälja. Moreover, there are many hillforts near this river and the northern shore of Lake Vänern testifying to a violent period. Archaeological excavations from one of the hillforts, Villkorsberget, show that it was burnt in a period corresponding to Olof (510–680).

3.^ The original text at Heimskringla Norrøne Tekster og Kvad
The Ynglings were the oldest known Scandinavian dynasty. 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. When Beowulf and Ynglingatal were composed sometime in the eighth to tenth centuries, the respective scop and skald expected his audience to have a great deal of background information about these kings, which is shown in the allusiveness of the references. Ynglings also refers to the Fairhair dynasty, descending from the kings of Oppland, Norway. According to surviving early sources, such as Ynglingatal and Íslendingabók, these kings were descended from the Swedish Scylfings of Uppland, Sweden. The House of Munsö, a Swedish dynasty also falls under the definition of Yngling. The earliest kings of this dynasty that historians generally agree are historical are Eirik the Victorious and Olof Skötkonung.

Some early kings were likely mythical, whereas others may have been real. Egil, Ottar, Ale and Adils are mentioned in several sources and are very likely to have been real kings.

46. OF OLAF THE TREE-FELLER.

When Olaf, King Ingjald's son, heard of his father's end, he went

with the men who chose to follow him to Nerike; for all the

Swedish community rose with one accord to drive out Ingjald's

family and all his friends. Now, when the Swedes got

intelligence of him he could not remain there, but went on

westwards, through the forest, to a river which comes from the

north and falls into the Venner lake, and is called Klar river.

There they sat themselves down, turned to and cleared the woods,

burnt, and then settled there. Soon there were great districts;

which altogether were called Vermeland; and a good living was to

be made there. Now when it was told of Olaf, in Sweden, that he

was clearing the forests, they laughed at his proceedings, and

called him the Tree-feller. Olaf got a wife called Solva, or

Solveig, a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand, westward in Soleyar.

Halfdan was a son of Solve Solvarson, who was a son of Solve the

Old, who first settled on these islands. Olaf Tree-feller's

mother was called Gauthild, and her mother was Alov, daughter of

Olaf the Sharp-sighted, king in Nerike. Olaf and Solva had two

sons: Ingjald and Halfdan. Halfdan was brought up in Soleyar, in

the house of his mother's brother Solve, and was called Halfdan

Hvitbein.

47. OLAF THE TREE-FELLER'S DEATH.

There were a great many people who fled the country from Sweden,

on account of King Ivar; and when they heard that King Olaf had

got good lands in Vermeland, so great a number came there to him

that the land could not support them. Then there came dear times

and famine, which they ascribed to their king; as the Swedes used

always to reckon good or bad crops for or against their kings.

The Swedes took it amiss that Olaf was sparing in his sacrifices,

and believed the dear times must proceed from this cause. The

Swedes therefore gathered together troops, made an expedition

against King Olaf, surrounded his house and burnt him in it,

giving him to Odin as a sacrifice for good crops. This happened

at the Venner lake. Thus tells Thjodolf of it: --

"The temple wolf, by the lake shores,

The corpse of Olaf now devours.

The clearer of the forests died

At Odin's shrine by the lake side.

The glowing flames stripped to the skin

The royal robes from the Swedes' king.

Thus Olaf, famed in days of yore,

Vanished from earth at Venner's shore."

--------------------
Olof Trätälja, var en kung av Ynglingaätten. Han omtalas i Snorre Sturlassons Ynglingasaga i Heimskringla och då som son till Ingjald Illråde. Han uppfostrades i Västergötland hos sin fosterfar. Han bosätter sig i Värmland där han bryter mark och skapar sig ett välde. Efter en hungersnöd offras han till Oden och bränns inne i sitt hus. En annan version är att han for till Norge. Han ska ha varit gift med Solveig.

Säffle har Olof Trätälja i sitt vapen och en gravhög kallas Olof Trätäljas hög.

Varken Olof Trätälja eller Ynglingaätten är historiskt säkerställda.

Olof trätälja

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ur Snorre Sturlasons Heims-Kringla, Ynglingasagan, kapitel 45, citeras följande (översättning av Emanuel S Ekman 1765): "Nu som Olof, Konung Ingjalds Son, fick höra sin Faders frånfälle, drog han af med det folk, som honom följa wille; ty at all den gemene man gorde endräkteliga upror, til at förderfwa hela Kung Ingjalds släckt och alla hans wänner. Olof reste först up til Nerike, men så snart som de swenske fingo det weta, fick han icke längre där wara. Sedan drog han wäster öfwer marken, til den ån, som rinner nordan ifrån uti Wänern, och kallas elfwen (fellur i vöni oc Elfur heitir). Ther dwaldes the, och begynte at rödja marken, hugga skogen, bränna och bygga, hwaraf innom en liten tid blefwo stora härader, som kallades Wärmeland, som blef et godt och fruktsamt landskap. Men som det spordes til Swrie om bemälte Olof, at han uthögg skogen och rögde markena, tå kallade de honom Trätelja, och tyckte hans förehafwande wara mycket förakteligt."

Olof and Solveigh had two sons, Ingjald Olofsson and Halfdan Hvitbeinn, who were brought up in Soleyar in the house of his mother's uncle Sölve.

Because of king Ivar Vidfamne and his harsh rule many Swedes emigrated to Värmland, and they became so numerous that the province could not sustain them. The land was afflicted by famine of which the Swedes accused the king. It was an old tradition in Sweden of holding the king responsible for the wealth of the land (see Domalde). The Swedes accused Olof of neglecting his sacrifices to the gods and believed that this was the cause of the famine.

The Swedish settlers thus rebelled against Olof, surrounded his house on the shores of lake Vänern and burnt him inside it. Thus he was sacrificed to Odin, like his ancestor Domalde.

Olaf Trätälja "Tree Feller" (Old Norse: Ólafr trételgja, Swedish: Olof Trätälja, Norwegian: Olav Tretelgja, all meaning Olaf Woodwhittler) was the son of the Swedish king Ingjald Ill-ruler of the House of Yngling according to Ynglingatal.

Continue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olof_Tr%C3%A4t%C3%A4lja ---------

Olof Trätälja var en kung av Ynglingaätten. Han omtalas i Snorre Sturlassons Ynglingasaga i Heimskringla och då som son till Ingjald Illråde. Han uppfostrades i Västergötland hos sin fosterfar. Han bosatte sig i Värmland där han bröt mark och skapade sig ett välde. När man i Svitjod fick höra att Olof röjde skogar kallade man honom spefullt för "trätälja" eftersom han ägnade sig åt en sådan "smädlig" verksamhet.

"Då for han västerut genom skogarna till den å som norrifrån faller ut i Vänern och heta Älv. Där slog han och hans folk sig ner och började röja skogen och svedja och bränna och sedan bebygga landet och där vart brått stora härad, som de kallade Värmland. Där var gott land."

Efter en hungersnöd offras han till Oden och bränns inne i sitt hus. Olof fick skulden eftersom han inte blotade. En annan version är att han for till Norge. Han ska ha varit gift med Solveig.

Säffle kommun har tidigare använt Olof Trätälja i sin logotyp och en gravhög i Säffle kallas Olof Trätäljas hög. Gravhögen med det romantiska namnet från Erik Fernows tid hette egentligen Knutshögen.

Varken Olof Trätälja eller Ynglingaätten är historiskt säkerställda. Det finns också arkeologiska bevis för att Värmland var bebott innan Olof skulle ha nyröjt.

http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halvdan_Kvitbein Halvdans far [Olav Tretelgja] ble ofret til Odin av de svenske nybyggerne i Värmland på grunn av uår, men da de senere oppdaget at uåret var grunnet i overbefolning og ikke kongens handlinger valgte noen å krysse Eidskogen og slå seg ned i Solør. Her tok de Halvdan til konge siden han var sønn av deres gamle konge, Olav. De svenskene som ble igjen i Värmland tok hans bror Ingjald til konge.

-------------------- Olaf Tree Feller (Old Norse: Ólafr trételgja, Swedish: Olof Trätälja, Norwegian: Olav Tretelgja) was the son of the Swedish king Ingjald Ill - ruler of the House of Yngling according to Ynglingatal. His mother was Gauthild, a princess of West Götaland, whose maternal grandfather was Olof the Sharp-sighted, the king of Nerike. His mother sent him to his foster-father Bove in West Götaland, where he grew up with his foster-brother Saxe who was surnamed Flette.

When Olof heard of his father's death, he assembled the men who were willing to follow him and went to his kinsmen in Nerike, because after his father's atrocities, the Swedes had grown hostile towards the Ynglings.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof and his kin had sought refuge in Nerike, they were attacked and had to head west through deep and mountainous forests (Kilsbergen) to Lake Vänern and the estuary of Klarälven (where Karlstad is presently situated). Here, they settled and cleared land. Soon they had created a whole province called Värmland, where they could make good living.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof was clearing land, they were amused and called him the Tree-feller. Olof married a woman named Solveig who was a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand of Soleyar. Olof and Solveigh had two sons, Ingjald Olofsson and Halfdan Hvitbeinn, who were brought up in Soleyar in the house of his mother's uncle Sölve.

When Olaf, King Ingjald's son, heard of his father's end, he went with the men who chose to follow him to Nerike; for all the Swedish community rose with one accord to drive out Ingjald's family and all his friends. Now, when the Swedes got intelligence of him he could not remain there, but went on westwards, through the forest, to a river which comes from the north and falls into the Venner lake, and is called Klar river. There they sat themselves down, turned to and cleared the woods, burnt, and then settled there. Soon there were great districts; which altogether were called Vermeland; and a good living was to be made there. Now when it was told of Olaf, in Sweden, that he was clearing the forests, they laughed at his proceedings, and called him the Tree-feller. Olaf got a wife called Solva, or Solveig, a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand, westward in Soleyar. Halfdan was a son of Solve Solvarson, who was a son of Solve the Old, who first settled on these islands. Olaf Tree-feller's mother was called Gauthild, and her mother was Alov, daughter of Olaf the Sharp-sighted, king in Nerike. Olaf and Solva had two sons: Ingjald and Halfdan. Halfdan was brought up in Soleyar, in the house of his mother's brother Solve, and was called Halfdan Hvitbein.

47. OLAF THE TREE-FELLER'S DEATH.

There were a great many people who fled the country from Sweden, on account of King Ivar; and when they heard that King Olaf had got good lands in Vermeland, so great a number came there to him that the land could not support them. Then there came dear times and famine, which they ascribed to their king; as the Swedes used always to reckon good or bad crops for or against their kings. The Swedes took it amiss that Olaf was sparing in his sacrifices, and believed the dear times must proceed from this cause. The Swedes therefore gathered together troops, made an expedition against King Olaf, surrounded his house and burnt him in it, giving him to Odin as a sacrifice for good crops. This happened at the Venner lake. Thus tells Thjodolf of it: --

"The temple wolf, by the lake shores, The corpse of Olaf now devours. The clearer of the forests died At Odin's shrine by the lake side. The glowing flames stripped to the skin The royal robes from the Swedes' king. Thus Olaf, famed in days of yore, Vanished from earth at Venner's shore."

Allmänna hänvisningar:

Olof Trätälja , Olaf Tretelgju eller Olav Tree Feller var son till den svenska kungen Ingjald Ill - härskare av huset Yngling enligt Heimskringla . Hans mor var Gauthild , en prinsessa av Västra Götaland, vars morfar var Olof den skarpsynt , konungen i Nerike .

Hans mamma skickade honom till sin fosterfader Bove i västra Götaland, där han växte upp med sin fosterbror Sachsen som ock Flette .

När Olof hört talas om faderns död , samlade han de män som var villiga att följa honom och gick till sin befolkning i Nerike , för efter faderns övergrepp hade svenskarna blivit främmande för Ynglings .

När svenskarna fick veta att Olof och hans anhöriga hade sökt skydd i Nerike var de attackerades och tvingades huvud västerut genom djupgående och bergiga skogar ( Kilsbergen ) till Vänern och mynningen i Klarälven (där Karlstad nu ligger) . Här bosatte de sig och röjde . Snart hade de skapat en hel provins som kallas Värmland , där de skulle kunna göra bra boende.

När svenskarna fick veta att Olof var clearing land , de var roade och kallade honom Tree- huggare . Olof gifte sig med en kvinna vid namn Solveig som var dotter till Halfdan Guldtand av Soleyar . Olof och Solveig hade två söner , Ingjald Olofsson och Halfdan Hvitbeinn , som vuxit upp i Soleyar i huset av hans mors morbror Sölve .

På grund av kung Ivar Vidfamne och hans hårda regel många svenskar utvandrade till Värmland , och de blev så många att provinsen inte kunde upprätthålla dem. Landet var drabbat av hungersnöd som svenskarna anklagade kungen. Det var en gammal tradition i Sverige att hålla kungen som ansvarar för den rikedom av marken. Svenskarna anklagade Olof för att försumma sina offer till gudarna och trodde att detta var orsaken till svält.

De svenska nybyggarna därmed gjorde uppror mot Olof , omringade hans hus vid stranden av sjön Vänern och brände honom i den. Således är han offrades till Oden , som hans förfader Domalde .

Noterade händelser i hans liv var:

• Han var en Konung i Norge.

Olav gifte sig med Solveig Halvdansdatter AV Solør , dotter till Halvdan Gulltann och okända, ca 670 i Norge. ( Solveig Halvdansdatter AV Solør föddes omkring 650 i Solør , Norge och dog omkring 695 i Norge. )

Olav laut røme frå Svitjod eller Svealand etter at far hans fall, av di sveane ikkje ville ha meir med ynglingane å gjere. Han vart jaga til skogbygdene i Värmland, som han rydda, og slik fekk han og namnet sitt, av di han sjølv var med og hogg tømmer der. Olav ekta dottera til kong Halvdan Gulltann i Solør, Solveig, og dei fekk sønene Ingjald og Halvdan Kvitbein.

Olav vart innebrend av di sviane i Värmland trudde han gav dei dårlege år. Motsett dei førre ynglingekongane nekta han å blote. Seinare vart det røynd at uåra kom av stor folkevekst i landet, og kongen hadde ikkje skulda. Folk valde då Halvdan, sonen til Olav, til konge for seg.

Eftersom svearna hade bestämt sig att fördriva faderns ätt fortsatte Olav till Värmland och röjde skog, brände och byggde och blev därigenom kung i Värmland. Många svear strömmade till Värmland. Det blev därför svår hungersnöd och svält. De inflyttade svearna skyllde detta på sin kung och påstod att denne inte blotat tillräcligt mycket. Därför samlade de en här och belägrade Olavs hus och brände honom inne. Detta skedde vid Vänern. Makarna hade två söner Ingjald och Halfdan. Ingjald blev kung i Värmland.

Olof tog då sin tillflykt till Värmland där han grundade ett nytt rike och bröt ny mark. Det var denna nybyggargärning som gav honom tillnamnet Trätälja.

King Olof earned his nickname, which means "the Woodcutter", by clearing the forest and cultivating the land. He named his new domain Varmland and such a large group of Swedes followed him there "that the land could not give them sustenance."

After a season of bad harvests, the woodcutting king was sacrificed to Odin so that his people might have good crops. He was succeeded by his son Halfdan Whiteleg, who is said to have extended his rule over much of southern Norway.

Ejus filius Olavus cognomento tretelgia diu et pacifice functus regno plenus dierum obiit in Swethia.[1]

His son, Olav, known as Tretelgje, accomplished a long and peaceful reign, and died in Sweden, replete in years.[2]

The lines of Ynglingatal appear to say that he was a Swedish prince (svía jöfri), and that he was burnt inside his hall and disappeared from Gamla Uppsala.

Ok við vág, viðar (telgju) hræ Ólafs hofgyldir svalg, ok glóðfjálgr gervar leysti sonr Fornjóts af Svía jöfri. Sá áttkonr frá Uppsölum Lofða kyns fyrir löngu hvarf.[3]

[edit] Archaeology Source Along the lower parts of the river Byälven in Värmland, there are three large barrows, which legend attributes to Olof Trätälja. Moreover, there are many hillforts near this river and the northern shore of Lake Vänern testifying to a violent period. Archaeological excavations from one of the hillforts, Villkorsberget, show that it was burnt in a period corresponding to Olof (510–680).

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. When Beowulf and Ynglingatal were composed sometime in the eighth to tenth centuries, the respective scop and skald expected his audience to have a great deal of background information about these kings, which is shown in the allusiveness of the references. Ynglings also refers to the Fairhair dynasty, descending from the kings of Oppland, Norway. According to surviving early sources, such as Ynglingatal and Íslendingabók, these kings were descended from the Swedish Scylfings of Uppland, Sweden. The House of Munsö, a Swedish dynasty also falls under the definition of Yngling. The earliest kings of this dynasty that historians generally agree are historical are Eirik the Victorious and Olof Skötkonung.

Some early kings were likely mythical, whereas others may have been real. Egil, Ottar, Ale and Adils are mentioned in several sources and are very likely to have been real kings.

46. OF OLAF THE TREE-FELLER.

When Olaf, King Ingjald's son, heard of his father's end, he went

with the men who chose to follow him to Nerike; for all the

Swedish community rose with one accord to drive out Ingjald's

family and all his friends. Now, when the Swedes got

intelligence of him he could not remain there, but went on

westwards, through the forest, to a river which comes from the

north and falls into the Venner lake, and is called Klar river.

There they sat themselves down, turned to and cleared the woods,

burnt, and then settled there. Soon there were great districts;

which altogether were called Vermeland; and a good living was to

be made there. Now when it was told of Olaf, in Sweden, that he

was clearing the forests, they laughed at his proceedings, and

called him the Tree-feller. Olaf got a wife called Solva, or

Solveig, a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand, westward in Soleyar.

Halfdan was a son of Solve Solvarson, who was a son of Solve the

Old, who first settled on these islands. Olaf Tree-feller's

mother was called Gauthild, and her mother was Alov, daughter of

Olaf the Sharp-sighted, king in Nerike. Olaf and Solva had two

sons: Ingjald and Halfdan. Halfdan was brought up in Soleyar, in

the house of his mother's brother Solve, and was called Halfdan

Hvitbein.

47. OLAF THE TREE-FELLER'S DEATH.

There were a great many people who fled the country from Sweden,

on account of King Ivar; and when they heard that King Olaf had

got good lands in Vermeland, so great a number came there to him

that the land could not support them. Then there came dear times

and famine, which they ascribed to their king; as the Swedes used

always to reckon good or bad crops for or against their kings.

The Swedes took it amiss that Olaf was sparing in his sacrifices,

and believed the dear times must proceed from this cause. The

Swedes therefore gathered together troops, made an expedition

·given the name "Tree Feller" by the Swedes who laughed at his proceedings, that he was clearing forests instead of ruling, -------------------- Chassé d'Uppland, il crée son royaume de Vestfold en Norvège -------------------- Olaf Tree Feller (Old Norse: Óláfr trételgja, Swedish: Olof Trätälja, Norwegian: Olav Tretelgja, all meaning Olaf Woodwhittler) was the son of the Swedish king Ingjald Ill-ruler of the House of Yngling according to Ynglingatal.

Heimskringla

His mother was Gauthild, a princess of West Götaland, whose maternal grandfather was Olof the Sharp-sighted, the king of Nerike.

His mother sent him to his foster-father Bove in West Götaland, where he grew up with his foster-brother Saxe who was surnamed Flette.

When Olof heard of his father's death, he assembled the men who were willing to follow him and went to his kinsmen in Nerike, because after his father's atrocities, the Swedes had grown hostile towards the Ynglings.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof and his kin had sought refuge in Nerike, they were attacked and had to head west through deep and mountainous forests (Kilsbergen) to Lake Vänern and the estuary of Klarälven (where Karlstad is presently situated). Here, they settled and cleared land. Soon they had created a whole province called Värmland, where they could make good living.

When the Swedes learnt that Olof was clearing land, they were amused and called him the Tree-feller. Olof married a woman named Solveig who was a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand of Soleyar. Olof and Solveigh had two sons, Ingjald Olofsson and Halfdan Hvitbeinn, who were brought up in Soleyar in the house of his mother's uncle Sölve.

Because of king Ivar Vidfamne and his harsh rule many Swedes emigrated to Värmland, and they became so numerous that the province could not sustain them. The land was afflicted by famine of which the Swedes accused the king. It was an old tradition in Sweden of holding the king responsible for the wealth of the land (see Domalde). The Swedes accused Olof of neglecting his sacrifices to the gods and believed that this was the cause of the famine.

The Swedish settlers thus rebelled against Olof, surrounded his house on the shores of lake Vänern and burnt him inside it. Thus he was sacrificed to Odin, like his ancestor Domalde.

Ynglingatal and Historia Norwegiae

However, Historia Norwegiae says that Olof succeeded his father and ruled as the king of Sweden in peace until his death.

Ejus filius Olavus cognomento tretelgia diu et pacifice functus regno plenus dierum obiit in Swethia.[1]

His son, Olav, known as Tretelgje, accomplished a long and peaceful reign, and died in Sweden, replete in years.[2]

The lines of Ynglingatal appear to say that he was a Swedish prince (svía jöfri), and that he was burnt inside his hall and disappeared from Gamla Uppsala.

Ok við vág,

Archaelogy

Along the lower parts of the river Byälven in Värmland, there are three large barrows, which legend attributes to Olof Trätälja. Moreover, there are many hillforts near this river and the northern shore of Lake Vänern testifying to a violent period. Archaeological excavations from one of the hillforts, Villkorsberget, show that it was burnt in a period corresponding to Olof (510–680).

King of the Swedes Óláfr Trételgju Ingjaldsson was forced to leave Nerike, when the Swedes heard he was there, and he went on westward, through the forest, to a river which comes from the north and falls into the Venner lake, and is called Klar river. There they sat themselves down, turned to and cleared the woods, burnt, and then settled there, and soon there were great districts, and altogether they were called Vermeland.

Olafr was raised in the care of his foster-father Bove, in West Gotland, where he was brought up along with Saxe, Bove's son, who had the surname of Flette. He was given the name "Tree Feller" by the Swedes, who laughed at his proceedings, that he was clearing forests instead of ruling.

He was is said to have sacrificed his own people in time of famine.

He married Sólveig Hálfdansdóttir of Solør, daughter of Hálfdan Guldtand Solvarsson of Solør.

The Swedes took it amiss that Olaf was sparing in his sacrifices, and therefore gathered together troops, made an expedition against King Olaf, surrounded his house and burnt him in it, giving him to Odin as a sacrifice for good crops. This happened at the Venner lake.

Thus tells Thjodolf of it:

--------------------
Earned his nickname "The Treecutter", after cutting down trees with great energy. He upset his people who thought that he should have provided them with more food and so was sacrificed to their god – Odin in 710.
According to Knut Am. Gulsvik's research, King Olaf was descended from Froy Ingversen who was b. ca. 65 B.C. and d. 10 B.C. and who lived 22 generations earlier. Froy was King of Svearne (Sweden) and Uppsala and married Gerd Gymnedtr.

Noteringar
Olav 'Trätälja' var gift med Solveig eller Sölve. Hon var dotter till Halfdan 'Guldtand' från Solön i väster. När Olav fick höra om sin fars död for han först till Närke. Eftersom svearna hade bestämt sig att fördriva faderns ätt fortsatte Olav till Värmland och röjde skog, brände och byggde och blev därigenom kung i Värmland. Många svear strömmade till Värmland. Det blev därför svår hungersnöd och svält. De inflyttade svearna skyllde detta på sin kung och påstod att denne inte blotat tillräcligt mycket. Därför samlade de en här och belägrade Olavs hus och brände honom inne. Detta skedde vid Vänern. Makarna hade två söner Ingjald och Halfdan. Ingjald blev kung i Värmland. (Källa: Ynglingasagan)

Ble jagd fra Svitjod med hele sin ætt og ryddet seg land ved de ubebodde områdene ved Klaraelvens utløp i Vänern. Olav giftet seg med Solveig, datter til Halvdan Gulltann fra Solør, to sønner; Ingjald og Halvdan. Olav var ingen blotsmann og fikk skylden for uår og sult, ble innebrent av misfornøyde svear.

Olaf ble ofret til Odin av de svenske nybyggerne i Värmland på grunn av uår, men da de senere oppdaget at uåret var grunnet i overbefolkning og ikke kongens handlinger valgte noen å krysse Eidskogen og slå seg ned i Solør. Her tok de Halvdan til konge siden han var sønn av deres gamle konge, Olaf. De svenskene som ble igjen i Värmland tok hans bror Ingjald til konge.

Was sacrificed to Odin after a season of bad harvests due to overpopulation in hopes of better harvests.
What a nice reward for working hard to make something work!!

Olof Trätälja, Olaf Tretelgju or Olaf Tree Feller was the son of the Swedish king Ingjald Ill-ruler of the House of Yngling according to Heimskringla. His mother was Gauthild, a princess of West Götaland, whose maternal grandfather was Olof the Sharp-sighted, the king of Nerike.

As a boy, he was raised by Beowulf in Vestre-Gautland. He was Gauthild's foster-father. He fled Upsala upon his father's death. He established a kingdom in Värmland, Sweden, which until that time had been unpopulated. His nickname "Trtalgja" meant tree-feller.

Olaf "the Woodcutter" Ingjaldsson, (the tree-hewer, or Tree-Feller).
roi de Suède 620-630, King of Vermeland Varmland (Norway) 640, puis devient roi de Vestfold (Norvège) 630-685.
b. ca. 567 in Sweden, (vers 690 Uppsala, Norvège - Varmland, Suède)

He was raised (fostered) by Bove in West Gotland along with Bove's son, Saxe.
When Ingjald died Olaf succeeded him, but the Swedes, who had suffered under his unpopular father, drove him and his people out of Sweden.
When Olaf, King Ingjald's son, heard of his father's end, he went with the men who chose to follow him to Nerike; for all the Swedish community rose with one accord to drive out Ingjald's family and all his friends.
Because of his father Ingjald's, evil deeds, Olaf was forced to leave Sweden and went west to the Klar River in Norway.
Now, when the Swedes got intelligence of him he could not remain there, but went on westwards, through the forest, to a river which comes from the north and falls into the Venner lake, and is called Klar river.
He began clearing the forest and soon created several large districts, together called Vermeland.
The Swedes heard about Olaf's activities and laughed, calling him "tree-feller" or "Woodcutter".

There were a great many people who fled the country from Sweden, on account of King Ivar; and when they heard that King Olaf had got good lands in Vermeland, so great a number came there to him that the land could not support them. Then there came dear times and famine, which they ascribed to their king; as the Swedes used always to reckon good or bad crops for or against their kings.
Later during his reign the crops failed. Some of the people held that the king was personally responsible for the fertility of the land by keeping up the sacrifices.
Olaf was known to have been sparing in this duty, and people surrounded his house at Venner Lake
The Swedes took it amiss that Olaf was sparing in his sacrifices, and believed the dear times must proceed from this cause.
The Swedes therefore gathered together troops, made an expedition against King Olaf,
surrounded his house and burnt him in it and burned it down with him inside, "giving him to Odin as a sacrifice for good crops."

???? Ivar Vidfadme subdued all of Sweden and Denmark, much of Saxland, all the East country and one fifth of England.
