Halfdan (The Meek) Eysteinsson 
Halfdan, known as The Meek, was born in 0750 in Holtum, Vestfold, Norway.1 The Meek's father was King Eysteinn (Fart) Halfdansson I and his mother was Hildi Eriksdatter. His paternal grandparents were Halfdan (Hvitbein White Leg) Olafsson and Asa Eysteinsdottir; his maternal grandparents were Eric Agnarsson and <Unknown>. He had a brother and a sister, named Harald and Geva. He was the oldest of the three children. He died at the age of 50 in 0800 in Borre, Vestfold, Norway.1 General Notes
# Note:
Eystein, we are told, was succeeded by his son Halfdan the Generous and the Stingy of Food. Halfdan gained this title by paying his men generously in coin but poorly in food. He died of a malady, was duly buried in a mound beside his father Eystein, and was succeeded by his son Gudrod. Gudrod is considered to be a historical personage, although the tales that are told about him are no doubt at least partly legendary.
