Agne

In the Old Norse genealogical-kingship corpus, Agne is presented as a member of the Yngling lineage and is named as son of Dagr (Dag the Wise) in Snorri Sturluson's account. Medieval compilers vary in exact succession ordering: Snorri places Agne as son of Dagr and predecessor to Alrekr and Eiríkr, while other sources such as Historia Norwegiae and Íslendingabók show variant positions (e.g., Alrekr and Yngvi/Ingialdr in differing sequences). His narrative functions as a named ancestral node that explains toponymy (Agnafit) and a burial mound associated in local tradition with 'Kung Agnes hög'.

Saga summaries describe Agne in standard heroic terms for saga kings — 'mighty and famous' and 'skilled in many ways' — with no supernatural or unusual physical markers recorded in the provided materials. The accounts give him the appearance and attributes of a powerful human war-leader rather than a spirit or otherworldly being.

Agne's notable capacities in the tradition are martial and political: he leads a summer campaign to Finland, defeats a Finnish host led by Frosti, subdues Finland, takes great booty and captives (including Frosti's daughter Skjalf and a kinsman Logi), holds feasts, and exercises kingship over conquered territory. The narrative also records a vulnerability in Agne's fondness for feasting and drinking, which Skjalf exploits to take revenge and hang him using a torc and a rope.
