        He raided Finnland and killed King Frosti and many others and took much booty and Frosti's daughter, Skjalf, as prisoner and married her. He was hanged by wife, Skjalf, with the help of her followers when drunk after a banquet he put on for Frosti's funeral at her request.
        One summer he invaded Finland with his army. When the Finns gathered there was a great battle, in which Agne gained victory, subduing all Finland. The daughter of a conquered chief, Skialf, was carred back to Sweden as his bride. After a drinking feast, Agne was hanged in a tree by Skialf and her men. The place where this happened was called Agnefit, and is said to be identical with the site of Stockholm, the later capital of the country. [WBH - Sweden
