In the second part from the Hervararsaga, Arngrim returns to his homeland with the sword and his wife, Eyfura, the daughter of #svafrlame . In all versions of the saga, Arngrim returned to Bolsö (although versions H and U say that it was the island Bolm in Hälogaland. They had twelve sons who all followed in their father's footsteps and became berserkers. (in version R only six are mentioned: Angantyr, Hjörvard, Hervard, Hrani and the two Haddings). . #Angantyr was the tallest of the twelve sons and he and his eleven brothers (in H and U) spread fear and destruction through the North. . One of the brothers, #Hjörvard made an oath that he would win #Ingeborg the daughter of #Yngve the king of sweden. . The brothers departed for #Uppsala and Hjorvard proposed to Ingeborg. However, Hjalmar, one of Yngve's champions, claimed he deserved the princess rather than a berserker. (Hjalmar and Ingeborg were already secretly courting) The Swedish king, who feared opposing the uncontrollable and infamous berserkers in his hall, suggested that Ingeborg herself should decide. . She chose Hjalmar and Hjorvard was enraged, he challenged Hjalmar to a #Holmgang on #samsø and declared that Hjalmar would lose his honour if he did not turn up. . When the brothers arrived on Samsø, they started to go berserk. They bit their shields, screamed loud and coarsely and let themselves loose on Hjalmar and Orvar-Odd's crewmen. . Away from their ship, Orvar-Odd fashions a club from a tree. they arrive to the scene to find their crew slain. Orvar-Odd, with only his club, slew the brothers while Hjalmar duels Angantýr with the sword Tyfing alone. . After the melee, he found Angantyr dead and Hjalmar mortally wounded by the cursed sword. . 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. . #Hervararsaga #norsemythology #mythology #SWORDOFTHEWARGOD . #OrvarOdd and #Hjalmar bid each other farewell, by Mårten Eskil Winge (1866) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMJwEpDnThY/?igshid=1fdgk5a6gqtpv
