Another Yngling king in Sweden was Ingjald Illrade. From his saga, we
learn something about how kings werechosen. When a king died, his
successor was supposed to attend the funeral feast and there sit at the
foot of the throne.
A huge horn beaker was broughtin. The heir had to pledge to do some
mighty deed of valor, and then drain the beaker to the bottom. After this
ceremony, he was led to the throne and proclaimed king.
When Ingjald planned the funeral of his father Anund the Cultivator, he
invited all the petty king and jarls (earls) of the neighboring areas to
attend the feast. There he stood up, made a vow to increase his kingdom
by the half on every side, and drained the beaker. He then allowed his
guests to drink until they became intoxicated. At this point, he left the
hall, surrounded it with his men, set it on fire, and thus killed all his
potentialrivals. The people hated him for his treachery, and named him
Ingjald Illrade, or ill-ruler.
King Ingjald is said to have been the last king of the Ynglingdynasty to
rule in Sweden. According to the sagas, he died about 600 AD, bysetting
fire to his palace on Lake Malaren and thus destroying both himself and
his daughter. It was a fitting end for a man who had murdered his vassals
by that very method.
In Swede, Ingjald Illrade was succeeded by Ivar Vidfamne (Wide Reacher).
Ivar started a new dynasty, called Ivarska after himself.
The line of the ill-ruling Ingjald, however, did not die out. His son
Olof Tretelgia (Olaf Tree-Hewer) escaped to Norway, where he became the
progenitor of the Norwegian Yngling kings.

Supposedly the last "Frey-born" king. He practiced human sacrifice in his
own family. Frey was the god the Swedes associated with peace, prosperity
and fertility of men, animals, and crops.
