EspañolHALSTEN STENKILSSON
'Halsten Stenkilsson' (Old Icelandic: ''Hallstein''''Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks'', Guðni Jónsson's og Bjarni Vilhjálmsson's edition at «Norrøne Tekster og Kvad».) was king of Sweden after his father Stenkil's death (1066), and he ruled together with his brother Inge the Elder.The ''Saga of Hervör and Heithrek'', in ''Stories and Ballads of the Far Past, translated from the Norse (Icelandic and Faroese)'', by N. Kershaw.Cambridge at the University Press, 1921.[1]
The date of his death is not known.
Little is known of his time as king. In a ''scholia'' in the work of Adam of Bremen, he is reported to have been elected king after the death of two pretenders,[2] but deposed after a short while. The information that he ruled together with his brother Inge comes from a papal letter from 1081, by Pope Gregory VII, where Halsten and his brother are named with the initials ''A'' and ''I'', and where they are called kings of Västergötland (''rege wisigothorum''[3]). His co-rulership with his brother Inge is also mentioned in the ''Hervarar saga''The ''Saga of Hervör and Heithrek'', in ''Stories and Ballads of the Far Past, translated from the Norse (Icelandic and Faroese)'', by N. Kershaw.Cambridge at the University Press, 1921.. In the regnal list of the ''Westrogothic law'', he is said to have been courteous and cheerful, and whenever a case was submitted to him, he judged fairly, and this was why Sweden mourned his death.He was the father of the co-rulers Philip and Inge the Younger.The ''Saga of Hervör and Heithrek'', in ''Stories and Ballads of the Far Past, translated from the Norse (Icelandic and Faroese)'', by N. Kershaw.Cambridge at the University Press, 1921.
