General Notes
- King of Uppsala
  
  Halfdan was the name of King Eystein's son who succeeded him. He
  was called Halfdan the Mild, but the Bad Entertainer; that is to
  say, he was reported to be generous, and to give his men as much
  gold as other kings gave of silver, but he starved them in their
  diet. He was a great warrior, who had been long on viking
  cruises, and had collected great property. He was married to Liv, a daughter of King Dag of Westmare. Holtar, in Westfold, was his chief house; and he died there on the bed of sickness, and was buried at Borre under a mound. So says Thjodolf:
