  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 in order 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.
  
  Knátti endr
  at Upsölum
  ána-sótt
  Aun of standa,
  ok þrálífr
  þiggja skyldi
  jóðs alað
  öðru sinni.
  Ok sveiðurs
  at sér hverfði
  mækis hlut
  enn mjávara,
  es okhreins
  óttunga hrjóðr
  lögðis odd
  liggjandi drakk;
  máttit hárr
  hjarðar mæki
  austrkonungr
  upp of halda.[1][2]
  
  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.
