Biography[]
Halfdan Hvitbeinn was the son of Olof Tratalja of the House of Yngling. His father was sacrificed to Odin by the Swedish settlers of Varmland because of a famine, but some Swedish expatriates named Halfdan king and helped him conquer Soleyar and Romerike. Halfdan went on to become a great king, and he fathered Eystein Halfdansson and Gudrodr Halfdansson. He conquered a large part of Hedemark, Toten, Hadeland, and a part of Vestfold before his death in 755.
