Aun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ane, On, One, Auchun or Aun the Old (Audhun, the same name as the A-S name Edwin) was the son of Jorund and one of the Swedish kings of the House of Yngling, the ancestors of Norway's first king, Harald Fairhair.

Aun was a wise king who sacrificed greatly to the gods, but he was not a warlike king and preferred to live in peace. Consequently, he was attacked by the Danish prince Halfdan (the son of Fródi, the son of Dan the Arrogant, the founder of Denmark). Aun lost the battles and fled to the Geats in Västergötland, where he stayed for 25 years until Halfdan died in his bed in Uppsala and was buried in a mound.

King Aun could return to Uppsala, but he was 60 years old. In order to live longer he sacrificed his own son to Odin who promised him that he could live for another 60 years. However, after 25 years, Aun was attacked by Halfdan's cousin Ale the Strong. Aun lost several battles and had to flee a second time to Västergötland. Ale the Strong ruled in Uppsala for 25 years until he was killed by Starkad the old.

After Ale the Strong's death, Aun could return to Uppsala. Once again, Aun sacrificed a son to Odin, but this time Odin said that he would live as long as he sacrificed a son every ten years and that he had to name one of the Swedish provinces after the number of sons he sacrificed.

When Aun had sacrificed a son for the seventh time, he was so old that he could not walk but had to be carried on a chair. When he had sacrificed a son for the eighth time, he could no longer get out of his bed. When he had sacrificed his ninth son, he was so old that he had to feed by suckling a horn like a little child.

After ten years he wanted to sacrifice his tenth and last son and name the province of Uppsala the ten lands. However, the Swedes refused to allow him this sacrifice and so he died. He was buried in a mound at Uppsala and succeeded by his last son Egil. From that day, dying in bed of old age was called Aun's sickness among the Scandinavians.

King Aun sacrificed one of his sons to Odin every ten years in order to prolong his life. After he had sacrificed nine sons and attained to the age of one hundred and ninety, his subjects forbade him to sacrifice his tenth son, and he died of old age, so weak that he had to suck nourishment from a horn like a baby. While his life was ignobly prolonged, he missed out on the greatest glory a Viking could imagine - that of dying nobly in battle.

Ane, On, One eller Aun var enligt Heimskringla en sveakung av Ynglingaätten. Han benämns även Ane den gamle. Han blev bortjagad från Svealand två gånger, först av Halvdan d.ä. av Danmark (son till Frode den hugstore, son till Dan), därefter av Ale, eller Åle, (son till Halvdans bror Fridleif) varpå han sökte sin tillflykt i Västergötland. Han återvann också sin tron två gånger. Han offrade sina söner en efter en till Oden för att förlänga sitt liv med tio år varje gång. Till slut var han 200 år gammal och tvungen att dricka mjölk från ett dihorn. Nu fick svearna nog och hindrade honom från att offra sin siste son Egil. Han ska vara höglagd i Gamla Uppsala.

Hans namn har i bland fått ge namn åt runstavens 304-åriga cykel, med anspelning på hans höga ålder. Förnamnet Ane förekommer också som runstensnamn.

The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation (continuing after Jorund):

Iste genuit Auchun, qui longo vetustatis senio IX annis ante obitum suum densæ usum alimoniæ postponens lac tantum de cornu ut infans suxisse fertur. Auchun vero genuit Eigil cognomento Vendilcraco [...][5]

He became the father of Aukun, who, in the feebleness of a protracted old age, during the nine years before his death is said to have abandoned the consumption of solid food and only sucked milk from a horn, like a babe-in-arms. Aukun's son was Egil Vendelkråke, [...][6]

The even earlier source Íslendingabók also cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and it also gives Aun as the successor of Jörundr and the predecessor of Egil Vendelcrow: xv Jörundr. xvi Aun inn gamli. xvii Egill Vendilkráka

Ane, On, One, Auchun or Aun the Old (Audhun), English: Edwin, was the son of Jorund and one of the Swedish kings of the House of Yngling, the ancestors of Norway's first king, Harald Fairhair.

Ruling from his seat in Uppsala, Aun was reputedly a wise king who made sacrifices to the gods. However, as he was not of a warlike disposition and preferred to live in peace.

Ani den Gamle, Jorunds Søn, var en klog Mand og ivrig Af-gudsdyrker, men blev af de danske Konger Halfdan og Alf hiin Raske togange anfalden og fordreven. Han var saa kjær af Livet, at han forat opnaae høi Alder, offrede ni Sønner til Othin. Tilsidst blev han saa gammel, at han laae tilsengs og pattede af et Horn som et Barn. Efter ham kaldtes det Anesot at døe af Alderdom uden nogen Sygdom.
--------------------
Aun den gamle, Åne den gamle eller Auchun, var ein konge av Ynglingeætta, rekna for å ha vorte uhorveleg gamal. Han er far til Egil Vendilkråke og son av Jorund, den eine av Yngvesønene.

Snorre Sturlason fortel korleis Aun kom i strid med skjoldungane, og særleg sønene av Frode den fredsame, Halvdan og Fridleiv. Aun laut røme for dei og fann skjol i Västergötland, etter å ha vore konge i Uppsala i 25 vetrar. Han sat i Gautland i 25 vetrar til, medan Halvdan rådde for Uppsala.

Sidan vart han driven ut av Uppsala av ein kong Åle den frøkne, son av Fridleiv. Han laut då røme til Gautland ein gong til, og budde der i 25 vetrar (han hadde då rådd 60 år i mellomtida). Åle vart drepen av Starkad den gamle, og Aun kom attende til Uppsala og rådde 25 nye vetrar der.

Aun var rekna som meir av ein blotmann enn ein stridsmann, og etter han kom attende, blota han sønene sine for langt liv, og vann seg ti nye år for kvar son. Med tida vart han så gamal at han ikkje kunne gå, og etter kvart låg han i ein seng og saup drikke som eit spedbarn. Då gjorde sveane opprør, og den yngste av dei ti sønene hans vart spard. Dette var Egil Vendilkråke. Aun døydde av alderdom, og til då hadde slikt vore lite kjend. Skaldane kalla sidan alderdomen for "Ånesott", fortel Snorre.

Tjodolv frå Kvine seier i Ynglingatal:

Endeleg kunde
i Uppsalir
Åne-sott
Aun få kjenna,
og seigliva
skulde han få
andre gongen
unge-bragd,
og den smale
odden av kvasse
verjo til stuten
vende han åt seg.
Han som frendar
farga med blod,
av lange stutehorn
liggjande drakk.
Ukse-sverde
orka kje gråhærd
auster-kongen
uppe halda.
Den eldste Noregshistoria [endre]
Historia Norvegiæ fortel at Aun eller Auchun var so alderdomsveik at han låg i ni år utan å ta til seg fast føde. Halvdan Koht er inne på at namnet kan vera ein variant av Audun.

Kommentar [endre]
Forteljinga til Snorre er i røynda prega av oppatt-taking. Aun lyt røme landet to gonger, og er borte like lenge båe gonger (25 år). Dette gjev ein peikepinn om at Snorre har to variantar av same soge, om ein konge som laut gå i utlægd ei tid, for så å koma attende. Namnet Åle finn ein seinare att i forteljinga om Adils, der Åle/Onela i nokre kjelder er bror av Ottar Vendilkråke. Det samla talet på år Aun skal ha levd, er hjå Snorre oppe i over 200, med noggranne tilvisingar: 25 vetrar i Uppsala, 25 i Gautland, 60 vetrar i Uppsala, nye 25 i Gautland, 25 vetrar i Uppsala att, og så hundre år på overtid på grunn av søneblot til Odin - i alt 260 år. Soga om kong Aun har eit mytisk preg berre på grunn av alderen. Andre kjelder minst berre at han vart eldre enn vanleg var på den tida (opp mot hundre år).

Beaten in battle by Halfdan Frodasson of Denmark. He sacrificed 9 sons in order to prolong his life and died of very old age. A wise man who made great sacrifices to the gods. Being no warrior, he lived quietly at home. Twice he fled from Upsala, on account of Danish invasions, remaining in West Gothland 25 years each time, and holding sway at Upsala for an equally long time between his periods of exile. He lived to become 110 years of age. The secret of his longevity was that he sacrificed one of his sons to Odin every 10th year, and was granted in return a decade of prolonged life. When about to sacrifice his 10th son, the people interfered, and he died from old age. The last 10 years of his life he was very feeble, drinking out of a horn like an infant. He was buried in a mound at Upsala. [WBH - Sweden]

Roi de Uppland
--------------------
Ane, On, One, Auchun or Aun the Old (Audhun), English: Edwin, was a mythical Swedish king of the House of Yngling, the ancestors of Norway's first king, Harald Fairhair. He was the son of Jorund, and had ten sons, nine of which he was said to have sacrificed to prolong his own life.

Ruling from his seat in Uppsala, Aun was reputedly a wise king who made sacrifices to the gods. However, as he was not of a warlike disposition and preferred to live in peace. He was attacked and defeated by the Danish prince Halfdan. Aun fled to the Geats in Västergötland, where he stayed for 25 years until Halfdan died in his bed in Uppsala.

Upon Halfdan's death Aun returned to Uppsala. Aun was now 60 years old, and in an attempt to live longer he sacrificed his son to Odin, who had promised that this would mean he would live for another 60 years. After 25 years, Aun was attacked by Halfdan's cousin Ale the Strong. Aun lost several battles and had to flee a second time to Västergötland. Ale the Strong ruled in Uppsala for 25 years until he was killed by Starkad the old.

After Ale the Strong's death, Aun once again returned to Uppsala and once again sacrificed a son to Odin; this time Odin told the king that he would remain living as long as he sacrificed a son every ten years and that he had to name one of the Swedish provinces after the number of sons he sacrificed.

When Aun had sacrificed a son for the seventh time, he was so old that he could not walk but had to be carried on a chair. When he had sacrificed a son for the eighth time, he could no longer get out of his bed. When he had sacrificed his ninth son, he was so old that he had to feed, like a little child, by suckling on a horn.

After ten years he wanted to sacrifice his tenth and last son and name the province of Uppsala The Ten Lands. However, the Swedes refused to allow him to make this sacrifice and so he died. He was buried in a mound at Uppsala and succeeded by his last son Egil. From that day, dying in bed of old age was called Aun's sickness among the Scandinavians.

In Upsal's town the cruel king
Slaughtered his sons at Odin's shrine --
Slaughtered his sons with cruel knife,
To get from Odin length of life.
He lived until he had to turn
His toothless mouth to the deer's horn;
And he who shed his children's blood
Sucked through the ox's horn his food.
At length fell Death has tracked him down,
Slowly, but sure, in Upsal's town.[3][4]

The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation (continuing after Jorund):

Iste genuit Auchun, qui longo vetustatis senio IX annis ante obitum suum densæ usum alimoniæ postponens lac tantum de cornu ut infans suxisse fertur. Auchun vero genuit Eigil cognomento Vendilcraco [...][5]

He became the father of Aukun, who, in the feebleness of a protracted old age, during the nine years before his death is said to have abandoned the consumption of solid food and only sucked milk from a horn, like a babe-in-arms. Aukun's son was Egil Vendelkråke, [...][6]

The even earlier source Íslendingabók also cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and it also gives Aun as the successor of Jörundr and the predecessor of Egil Vendelcrow: xv Jörundr. xvi Aun inn gamli. xvii Egill Vendilkráka[7].

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ane Ane, On, One eller Aun var enligt Heimskringla en sveakung av Ynglingaätten. Han benämns även Ane den gamle. Han blev bortjagad från Svealand två gånger, först av Halvdan d.ä. av Danmark (son till Frode den hugstore, son till Dan), därefter av Ale, eller Åle, (son till Halvdans bror Fridleif) varpå han sökte sin tillflykt i Västergötland. Han återvann också sin tron två gånger. Han offrade sina söner en efter en till Oden för att förlänga sitt liv med tio år varje gång. Till slut var han 200 år gammal och tvungen att dricka mjölk från ett dihorn. Nu fick svearna nog och hindrade honom från att offra sin siste son Egil. Han ska vara höglagd i Gamla Uppsala.

Hans namn har i bland fått ge namn åt runstavens 304-åriga cykel, med anspelning på hans höga ålder. Förnamnet Ane förekommer också som runstensnamn.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aun -------------------- http://library.gramps-project.org/users/tpf/I1728.html -------------------- Ani den Gamle, Jorunds Søn, var en klog Mand og ivrig Af-gudsdyrker, men blev af de danske Konger Halfdan og Alf hiin Raske togange anfalden og fordreven. Han var saa kjær af Livet, at han forat opnaae høi Alder, offrede ni Sønner til Othin. Tilsidst blev han saa gammel, at han laae tilsengs og pattede af et Horn som et Barn. Efter ham kaldtes det Anesot at døe af Alderdom uden nogen Sygdom. -------------------- Aun den gamle, Åne den gamle eller Auchun, var ein konge av Ynglingeætta, rekna for å ha vorte uhorveleg gamal. Han er far til Egil Vendilkråke og son av Jorund, den eine av Yngvesønene.

Snorre Sturlason fortel korleis Aun kom i strid med skjoldungane, og særleg sønene av Frode den fredsame, Halvdan og Fridleiv. Aun laut røme for dei og fann skjol i Västergötland, etter å ha vore konge i Uppsala i 25 vetrar. Han sat i Gautland i 25 vetrar til, medan Halvdan rådde for Uppsala.

Sidan vart han driven ut av Uppsala av ein kong Åle den frøkne, son av Fridleiv. Han laut då røme til Gautland ein gong til, og budde der i 25 vetrar (han hadde då rådd 60 år i mellomtida). Åle vart drepen av Starkad den gamle, og Aun kom attende til Uppsala og rådde 25 nye vetrar der.

Aun var rekna som meir av ein blotmann enn ein stridsmann, og etter han kom attende, blota han sønene sine for langt liv, og vann seg ti nye år for kvar son. Med tida vart han så gamal at han ikkje kunne gå, og etter kvart låg han i ein seng og saup drikke som eit spedbarn. Då gjorde sveane opprør, og den yngste av dei ti sønene hans vart spard. Dette var Egil Vendilkråke. Aun døydde av alderdom, og til då hadde slikt vore lite kjend. Skaldane kalla sidan alderdomen for "Ånesott", fortel Snorre.

Tjodolv frå Kvine seier i Ynglingatal:

Endeleg kunde i Uppsalir Åne-sott Aun få kjenna, og seigliva skulde han få andre gongen unge-bragd, og den smale odden av kvasse verjo til stuten vende han åt seg. Han som frendar farga med blod, av lange stutehorn liggjande drakk. Ukse-sverde orka kje gråhærd auster-kongen uppe halda.

Den eldste Noregshistoria [endre]

Historia Norvegiæ fortel at Aun eller Auchun var so alderdomsveik at han låg i ni år utan å ta til seg fast føde. Halvdan Koht er inne på at namnet kan vera ein variant av Audun.

Kommentar [endre]

Forteljinga til Snorre er i røynda prega av oppatt-taking. Aun lyt røme landet to gonger, og er borte like lenge båe gonger (25 år). Dette gjev ein peikepinn om at Snorre har to variantar av same soge, om ein konge som laut gå i utlægd ei tid, for så å koma attende. Namnet Åle finn ein seinare att i forteljinga om Adils, der Åle/Onela i nokre kjelder er bror av Ottar Vendilkråke. Det samla talet på år Aun skal ha levd, er hjå Snorre oppe i over 200, med noggranne tilvisingar: 25 vetrar i Uppsala, 25 i Gautland, 60 vetrar i Uppsala, nye 25 i Gautland, 25 vetrar i Uppsala att, og så hundre år på overtid på grunn av søneblot til Odin - i alt 260 år. Soga om kong Aun har eit mytisk preg berre på grunn av alderen. Andre kjelder minst berre at han vart eldre enn vanleg var på den tida (opp mot hundre år).

-------------------- Aun ble gammel , han var en stor blotmann. Men ingen hermann. Han offret stadig sine sønner til Odin, for hvert offer fikk han ti år lenger å leve. Men da han skulle offre sin tiende sønn, nektet folket, og da døde han.

Beaten in battle by Halfdan Frodasson of Denmark. He sacrificed 9 sons in order to prolong his life and died of very old age. A wise man who made great sacrifices to the gods. Being no warrior, he lived quietly at home. Twice he fled from Upsala, on account of Danish invasions, remaining in West Gothland 25 years each time, and holding sway at Upsala for an equally long time between his periods of exile. He lived to become 110 years of age. The secret of his longevity was that he sacrificed one of his sons to Odin every 10th year, and was granted in return a decade of prolonged life. When about to sacrifice his 10th son, the people interfered, and he died from old age. The last 10 years of his life he was very feeble, drinking out of a horn like an infant. He was buried in a mound at Upsala. [WBH - Sweden]

Note:

King Aun sacrificed one of his sons to Odin every ten years in order to prolong his life. After he had sacrificed nine sons and attained to the age of one hundred and ninety, his subjects forbade him to sacrifice his tenth son, and he died of old age, so weak that he had to suck nourishment from a horn like a baby. While his life was ignobly prolonged, he missed out on the greatest glory a Viking could imagine - that of dying nobly in battle.

Aun eller Åne het Jørunds sønn, han ble konge over svearne etter far sin ; han var en klok mann og stor blotmann ; hærmann var han ikke, han satt hjemme i landet. På samme tid som disse kongene det nå er fortalt om, levde i Uppsala, var først Dan den storlåtne konge over Danmark, han ble eldgammel ; så kom hans sønn Frode den storlåtne eller den fredsomme og hans sønner Halvdan og Fridleiv ; de var store hærmenn. Halvdan var eldst og fremst av dem i alt ; han fór med hæren til Svitjod mot kong Aun, de hadde noen kamper mot hverandre og Halvdan seiret alltid. Til slutt flyktet kong Aun til Västergötland. Da hadde han vært konge i Uppsala i tjue år ; han var nå tjue år i Götaland også, mens kong Halvdan var i Uppsala. Kong Halvdan døde sottedød i Uppsala, og der er han hauglagt. Deretter kom kong Aun tilbake til Uppsala igjen, da var han seksti år ; da fikk han i stand et stort blot, og blotet til langt liv for seg, han gav sin sønn til Odin og blotet ham. Kong Aun fikk svar av Odin, han skulle få leve i seksti år til. Så var Aun konge i Uppsala tjue år igjen. Da kom Åle den frøkne med sin hær til Svitjod mot kong Aun, det var Fridleivs sønn, de kjempet med hverandre og Åle fikk alltid seier ; så flyktet kong Aun fra riket for annen gang og til Västergötland. Åle var konge i Uppsala i tjue år, til Starkad Gamle drepte ham. Etter Åles fall kom kong Aun tilbake til Uppsala og rådde for riket ennå tjue år. Da gjorde han stort blot og tok den andre sønnen sin og blotet ham, og da sa Odin til ham at han skulle leve videre så lenge som han gav Odin en sønn hvert tiende år, og dessuten skulle gi et herred i landet navn etter tallet på de sønnene han ofret til Odin. Men da han hadde ofret den sjuende sønnen, levde han i ti år og var slik at han ikke kunne gå, han ble båret på en stol ; så blotet han den åttende sønnen og levde ennå ti år, men da lå han til sengs ; så blotet han den niende sønnen og levde ti år til ; da drakk han av horn som et spedbarn. Da hadde Aun bare en sønn igjen og ville ta ham også til blot ; så ville han gi Odin Uppsala og de herredene som ligger under det og kalle det Tiundaland ; svearne forbød ham det, og det ble ikke noe av blotet. Så døde kong Aun og han er hauglagt i Uppsala. Siden heter det Ånesott når en mann dør av elde uten sjukdom. Så sier Tjodolv : se kvad <http://home.online.no/~olhov/kvad.html>

Han var konge over Svear. Far til Egil Tunnadolg.. REFN: SEF Bs:51

This guy was a FREAK! He apparently ( according to legend of course) sacrificed one of his sons to Odin every ten years to prolong his life. It worked. After sacrificing 9 of his sons he was 190 years old and then his subjects forbade him to do it again and he died of extreme old age. At the end he was so weak that he had to suck nourishment from a horn like a baby. He missed out on the glorious death of Vikings by not dying in battle.
