Onund ruled the Swedes after his father's death during a peaceful and prosperous time. He traveled to Estland to revenge his father's death, returning in autumn with much plunder. He was very popular as the years of his reign were so pleasant. He cleared the great forests of Sweden to make roads, areas for cultivaton and a house for himself in every section of Sweden, thusly he became known as Onund Roadmaker.
Onund met his death in autumn on a road Himmenheath in a landslide of stone
and clay.

Brøt-Anundr (Old East Norse) or Braut-Önundr (Old West Norse), meaning trail-blazer Anund or Anund the land-clearer, d. ca 640, was a legendary Swedish king of the House of Yngling.
Anund succeeded his father Ingvar on the Swedish throne, and after his father's wars against Danish vikings and Estonian pirates, peace reigned over Sweden and there were good harvests. Anund was a popular king who became very rich, not only because of the peace and the good harvests but also because he avenged his father in Estonia. That country was ravaged far and wide and in the autumn Anund returned with great riches.
In those days Sweden was dominated by vast and uninhabited forests, so Anund started making roads and clearing land and vast districts were settled by Swedes. Consequently he was named Bröt-Anund. He made a house (Husby) for himself in every district and used to stay as a guest in many homes.
One autumn, King Anund was travelling between his halls (see Husbys) and came to a place called Himinheiðr (sky heath) between two mountains. He was surprised by a landslide which killed him.

Father reportedly Gunderland, Count of Hesbania was himself a son of Sigrand, Count of Hesbania and Landrade of Austrasia. Landrade was reportedly daughter of Charles Martel by either Chrotrud or Swanachild.
Ingibiorg Finnsdottir (Standard Old Norse: Ingibjörg Finnsdóttir) was a daughter of Earl Finn Arnesson and Bergljot Halvdansdottir, a niece of Kings of Norway Olaf Haraldsson (Saint Olaf) and Harald Sigurdsson (Harald Hardraade).[1] The dates of Ingibiorg's life are not certainly known.
She married Thorfinn Sigurdsson, Earl of Orkney. The Orkneyinga Saga claims that Kalf Arnesson, Ingibiorg's uncle, was exiled in Orkney after her marriage to Thorfinn. This was during the reign of Magnus the Good, son of Saint Olaf, who ruled from 1035 to 1047, and probably before the death of Harthacanute in 1042.[2] Thorfinn and Ingibiorg had two known sons, Paul and Erlend, who fought in Harald Sigurdsson's ill-fated invasion of the Kingdom of England in 1066.[3]
Ingibiorg remarried after Thorfinn's death, the date of which is again not known.[4] Her second husband was Máel Coluim mac Donnchada (Malcolm III), the King of Scots. Whatever the exact date of the marriage, Máel Coluim and Ingibiorg had at least one son, and probably two. The Orkneyinga Saga tells us that Donnchad mac Maíl Coluim (Duncan II) was their son,[5] and it is presumed that the "Domnall son of Máel Coluim, King of Scotland" whose death in 1085 is reported by the Annals of Ulster was their son.[6]
Ingibiorg's is presumed to have died in around 1069 as Máel Coluim married Margaret, sister of Edgar Ætheling, in about 1070.[7] It may be, however, that she died before Máel Coluim became king, as an Ingeborg comitissa appears in the Liber Vitae Ecclesiae Dunelmensis, a list of those monks and notables from whom prayers were said at Durham, alongside persons known to have died around 1058.[8] If Ingibiorg was never Queen, it would go some way to explaining the apparent ignorance of her existence displayed by Scots chroniclers.[9]

Eudokia Ingerina or Eudocia Ingerina (Greek: ??d???a ???e???a) (c. 840 – 882) was the wife of the Byzantine emperor Basil I, the mistress of his predecessor Michael III, and the mother to both the Emperors Leo VI and Alexander and Patriarch Stephen I of Constantinople.
Eudokia was the daughter of Inger, a Varangian guard in the emperor's service. Her mother was a Martinakia and a distant relative to the imperial family. Because her family was iconoclastic, the Empress Mother Theodora strongly disapproved of them. In c. 855 Eudokia became the mistress of Theodora's son, Michael III, who thus incurred the anger of his mother and the powerful minister Theoktistos. Unable to risk a major scandal by leaving his wife, Michael married Eudokia to his friend Basil but continued his relationship with her. Basil was compensated with the emperor's sister Thekla as his own mistress.
Eudokia gave birth to a son, Leo, in September 866 and another, Stephen, in November 867. They were officially Basil's children, but this paternity was questioned, apparently even by Basil himself. The strange promotion of Basil to co-emperor in May 867 lends some support to the possibility that at least Leo was actually Michael III's illegitimate son. The parentage of Eudokia's younger children is not a subject of dispute, as Michael III was murdered in September 867.
A decade into Basil's reign, Eudokia became involved with another man, whom the emperor ordered to be tonsured as monk. In 882, she selected Theophano as wife for her son Leo, and died shortly afterwards.
