  Åle, konge av Oppland Hans foreldre er ukjent. Han hadde datteren Hilde Skjoldungesaga: Etter en del tid ble det fiendskap mellom kong Adillus av Sverige og den norske kong Ale (Åle) av Oppland. De besluttet å kjempe på isen av innsjøen Vänern. Adillus vant seier og tok Ales hjelm, brynje og hest som seiersbytte. https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adils Falt i kamp på isen på Vænern mot kong Aldis av Sveariket, Vænern, Sverige https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_on_the_Ice_of_Lake_V%C3%A4nern The Battle on the Ice of Lake Vänern was a 6th-century battle recorded in the Norse sagas and referred to in the Old English epic Beowulf. It has been dated to c. 530. Beowulf is an epic tale that refers to the battle on the ice of lake Vänern. In it, the Swedish king Ohthere, Ottar Vendelkråka, who is often called the first historical king of Sweden, [1] had died and his brother Onela, or Áli, had usurped the Swedish throne. Ottar's sons Eanmund and Eadgils, or Adils, had to flee to Geatland and seek refuge with the Geatish king Heardred. This induced Onela to attack the Geats and kill both Eanmund and Heardred. In order to avenge his king and kinsman, Beowulf decided to help Eadgils gain the throne of Sweden. During the battle Eadgils slew Onela and became the king of Sweden. There are a few references in Norse sources that give an account of the battle on the ice of lake Vänern. Some of the sagas differ from one another in detail. The equivalent of Onela, Áli hinn upplenzki, has been placed in Norwegian Oppland, rather than Swedish Uppland. In Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, in the Skáldskaparmál, the battle is mentioned in two verses. In the first account, Snorri cites a fragmentary poem called Kálfsvísa: Vésteinn Vali, Vésteinn rode Valr, en Vífill Stúfi, And Vifill rode Stúfr; Meinþjófr Mói, Meinthjófr rode Mór, en Morginn Vakri, And Morginn on Vakr [meaning "Watchful, Nimble, Ambling, or perhaps Hawk"] Áli Hrafni, Áli rode Hrafn er til íss riðu, They who rode onto the ice: en annarr austr But another, southward, und Aðilsi Under Adils, grár hvarfaði, A gray one, wandered, geiri undaðr.[2] Wounded with the spear.[3] In the second account, Snorri relates: "They decided to fight on the ice of the water which is called Vänern...In this fight king Áli died and a great many of his people. Then king Adils took from him his helmet Hildisvín [battle-boar] and his horse Hrafn." In the Ynglinga saga, Snorri relates that King Adils, or Eadgils, fought hard battles with the Norwegian king who was called Áli hin upplenzki. They fought on the ice of Lake Vänern, where Áli fell and Adils won. Snorri relates that much is told about this event in the saga of the Sköldungs, and that Adils took Hrafn-Raven, Áli's horse. The Skjöldunga saga is lost but at the end of the 16th century, Arngrímur Jónsson saved a piece of information from this saga in Latin. He wrote: "There was animosity between king Adils of Sweden and the Norwegian king Áli of Uppland. They decided to fight on the ice of Lake Vänern. Adils won and took his helmet, chainmail and horse." Adils would become a famous king of whom much is told in the legends of Hrólf Kraki and in the Danish Gesta Danorum. According to Snorri, he is buried in Old Uppsala. The accounts of the Battle on the Ice contain accurate information about this time and the Swedish Vendel Age. This period was characterized by the appearance of mounted warriors who fought on horseback and by the use of boar-crested helmets. In the Battle on the Ice, the combatants are described as fighting on horseback, although the later Norsemen and Anglo-Saxons who told of this battle in their legends would fight on foot. Likewise, Onela's helmet is called the battle-boar although the boar-crested helmets were long out of use by the time records of the event were written down. Many instances of boar-crested helmets have been found in extant examples, notably in the burial mounds of Vendel, Valsgärde and Uppsala. The power centre of ancient Scandinavia is up to much debate still. [1] Alf Henrikson, Svensk historia [2] Skálskaparmál at Norrøne Tekster og Kvad, Norway.
