Angantyr the Berserker

Angantyr's father Arngrim had given him the magic sword Tyrfing, which cut through anything like through cloth, and which killed a man every time it was unsheathed. He was the tallest of the twelve sons of the beserker Arngrim, and he and his eleven brothers spread fear and destruction through the North.

The Swedish king, who feared opposing twelve uncontrollable and infamous beserkers in his hall, suggested that Ingeborg herself should decide. Naturally, she chose Hjalmar, and Hjorvard was besides himself with rage. He challenged Hjalmar on a duel on Samsø, and declared that Hjalmar would lose his honour if he did not turn up. Hall is a term often used to refer to several different types of room in a house or a building. ... Samsø is an island in the North Sea bay of Kattegat and a municipality in central Denmark, in the county of Aarhus, 15 kilometers off the Jutland Peninsula. ...

When the twelve brothers arrived on Samsø, they started to go beserk. They bit their shields, screamed loud and coarsely and let loose themselves on Hjalmar and Orvar-Odd's crewmen who were cut to pieces.

When Hjalmar and Orvar-Odd arrived, Angantyr's twelve brothers were quickly slain by Orvar-Odd with a club. Orvar-Odd then went to see how Hjalmar was faring and found Angantyr dead and Hjalmar lethally wounded by Tyrfing.

Orvar-Odd buried the twelve brothers in barrows on Samsø together with the cursed sword, so that it would no longer cause any harm. However, Angantyr's daughter Hervor would later return and claim Tyrfing as her own. This event is known as the Waking of Angantyr.

Angantyr Höfundsson

Angantyr's daughter Hervor married Höfund of Glæsisvellir and they had the sons Heidrek and Angantyr. Angantyr would be the next of Tyrfing's victims.

Angantyr Heidreksson

Heidrek would have the daughter Hervor and the sons Angantyr and Hlöd. When Heidrek, the king of the Goths died, Angantyr inherited and refused to give Hlöd equal share. Hlöd attacked with the Hunnish army and in an epic battle, Hlöd was slain. Angantyr would be one of the ancestor of the Swedish kings of the House of Munsö.
