  === Life Sketch ===
  This is a legendary or fictional person and the profile is only being because he/she appears in many popular online genealogies. An estimated birth year has been added in order to give the profile pre-1500 protection. It is, however, more of a guess than an estimate since the saga(s) mentioning him/her have been written many hundred years later.
  
  «b»Biography«/b»
  This profile possibly belongs in the Ynglingasagan.
  
  From Ynglingasagan, chapter 51;
  
  Östen (Eysten), Halfdan Hvitben's son, became King after him in Romerike and Vestfold. His wife was Hild, King Erik Agnarson's daughter of Vestfold. Agnar, Erik's father, was King Sigtrygg's son of Vindle. King Erik had no son; he died while King Halfdan Hvitben was alive;
  
  Wikpedia's page about "Mythical Norwegian kings" in Vestfold mentions Sigtrygg by Vetteland, Eirik Sigtryggsson, Agnar Eiriksson and Eirik Agnarsson and as a reference there is Snorre Sturlessøn's Norske kongers chronica published in 1633 and not searchable.

  Eric Agnarsson was son of Agnar Sigtrygsson. He had no son. No wife is mentioned. His daughter, Hildi married Eystein Halfdansson and was mother of Halfdan the Mild Eysteinsson.
  
  === Messed up lineage ===
  This family line shows Halfdan Olafssen (GCWY-1Z7) married to Asa Eysteinsdatter (GV2F-J9F) her birth year 708 and death 739. King Erick of Westfold (GJMK-NWD) shows to be married to Asa Eysteinsdotter (GVSX-KWD) with same birth and death years - 708-739 - as the Asa married to Halfdan. I believe the two Asa's cited are the same person and errors have been made. In naming children in the region (Norway, Finland, Sweden) her father would have been named "Eystein", but the line shows her parents as King Olaf of Vestfold and mother Agnar Sigtrygsdatter. Also a daughter, Queen Hildi of Norway and Romerike is show as being born in 740 while the cited mother, Asa, died in 739. In addition King Olaf and Agnar Sigtrygsdatter are shown as parents of both King Erik and his wife Asa meaning bother married sister? I guess this is possible but unlikely and this line needs some cleaning up.
