Viking Heraldy of Lewis & Cinda - Bruce Rognan

Visbur ruled over the Svearne (Swedes) after his father’s death. His wife was the daughter of Aude, a wealthy
man, who gave three large estates and a gold ornament as a dowry with his daughter. Two sons were born,
namely, Gisl and Andur. He deserted his wife and married another woman, so she took her two sons and went
back to Finland to live with her father. Visbur had a son named Domalde by his second wife. His first wife
urged her sons to claim the property which was given to him as a dowry. Visbur refuse to agree to this. His
former wife then instituted witchery against him. It was prophesied that the gold ornament would be a curse
and cause the death of the best man of his race. The sorcerer also granted the sons permission to take the life
of their father, and also prophesied that murder of kinsmen in the Viking dynasty would become prevalent in the
future. Afterwards, the sons gathered a group of people at night-time, set fire to Visbur’s sleeping quarter, burning
him to death.
Domalde Visburson (135 AD)
Domalde became the next king of Svitjod after his father, Visbur. During his reign there was hunger and famine
in the land, and the Vikings made great sacrifices and altar offerings. But famine still prevailed. The first fall
they sacrificed oxen, but to no avail. Next fall the Swedes came in a large force to Uppsala, where the sacrifices
were to be held. The debated and agreed that their king must be responsible for their troubles and decided
that they would make him their sacrifice to their god Odin and paint the pedestals in the temple with his
blood. This was done. Domar began trading with the Romans under Emperor Hadrian. He allowed the Romans
to use the fertile fishing harbors of Vagar (Kabelvag, Norway) to provide dry cod fish for use. Once the Romans
discovered dry fish could be exported from north Norway’s coast, the area became the center for administering
this trade. Roman coins, silver mugs, and bronze vessels dating to the period of Emperor Hadrian have been
excavated in Lofoten Islands in the 1950's.
Domar Domaldeson (165 AD)
Domar, the son of Domalde, became the next king of the Vikings. During his long reign the country prospered
and peace prevailed. Of him nothing is told, except that he died of disease at Uppsala; his body was taken to
Fyres Plains and burned. A stone monument was erected at the mouth of Fyres brook between old Uppsala
and the new Uppsala.
Drygve Domarson (200 AD)
Drygve, the son of Domar, then became king of the Vikings. He also died a natural
death. Nothing is recorded of him, except that he was the first man to be called Konge,
(king). Previously they were called Drottner, their wives, Drottninger, and their bodyguards,
Drott. Every man in the dynasty was also known as Yngve, and Ynglinger.
Eventually the Viking Dynasty is known as the “Yngling Dynasty” as a result.
Dag Drygveson (235 AD)
Dag, the son of Drygve, became the next king. He was a very wise man, and was said
to understand the language of birds. He had a sparrow which told him many tidings from
afar. On one occasion the sparrow flew to Denmark where it settled in a peasant’s orchard
and ate berries. The peasant picked up a stone and killed the bird by hitting it.
King Dag became anxious when the bird did not come back so he went to a sacrifice
made to the gods., where he asked about his bird. He was told what had happened. He
gathered a force and went to Denmark to revenge the sparrow’s death. He ravaged the country side, but on
their way back to their ships someone cast a pitchfork into the group of men and it hit the head of the king which
cause his death
Agne Dagson (270 AD)
Agne was a highly renowned and a powerful king. He went on a pirate expedition into Finland, won a great victory
over the Finnish King Froste who was killed in action. He conquered the country, took a large number of
prisoners and much plunder, captured Froste’s daughter, Skjaalv, and son, Loge. He married Skjaalv, with
whom he had two sons, Alrek and Eirik. When he returned to his own country, he pitched his tents at Stoksund
(Now Norrstrom, between Maelaren and the sea, on the north side of old Stockholm.). His wife, Skjaalv, asked
him to prepare a funeral feast in honour of her dead father, which he did. He invited many prominent men and
prepared a great banquet. He had become greatly renowned because of his expedition into Finland. There
