=== Life Sketch ===
Visbur or Wisbur (Old Norse "Certain/Undoubted Son") in Scandinavian mythology was a king of the House of Ynglings and the son of Vanlandi. He was burned to death inside his hall by two of his own sons in revenge for rejecting their mother and denying them their heritage. He was succeeded by his other son Dómaldi.
Visbur succeeded his father Vanlande. He married the daughter of Aude the Rich, and gave her as her bride-gift three large farms, and a gold ornament. They had two sons, Gisle and Ond; but Visbur left her and took another wife, whereupon she went home to her father with her two sons. Now, when Visbur's sons were twelve and thirteen years of age, they went to their father's place, and desired to have their mother's bride gift; but he would not deliver it to them. Then they hexed him that the gold ornament should be the death of the best man in all his race, and they returned home. Then they began again with enchantments and witchcraft, to try if they could destroy their father.
The sorceress Aulde said that by witchcraft she could bring it about by offering that someone of his own kin in the Yngling race should murder him and then never be wanting; and they agreed to have it so. Thereafter his sons collected men, came unexpectedly in the night on Visbur, and burned him in his house with all his hirdsmen, so that they might attain their inheritance more swiftly.
Visbur had a son called Domalde, (Old Norse possibly "Power to Judge") by his second wife who inherited the throne and Aude reportedly used witchcraft to give him ill-luck.
The luck of the king is the luck of the land, and Domalde's rule was marked by bad crops and starvation. The first autumn, the Swedes sacrificed oxen at the temple at Uppsala, but the next harvest was not better. The second autumn, they sacrificed men, but the following crops were even worse.
The third year many Swedes arrived at Gamla Uppsala at the Thing of all Swedes (convention) and the chiefs decided to sacrifice the king. They sprinkled the statues of the gods with his blood and the good harvests returned.
He was succeeded by his son Domar whose reign was prosperous.
