Norse Tradition
The Hervarar saga recounts that Anund and his brother Björn succeeded king Erik Refilsson, their cousin. This happened about two generations before the reign of Harald Fairhair of Norway (c. 872-930).
The Vita Ansgari
The Vita Ansgari from c. 870 relates that a Swedish king called Anund was driven away from his country. The reason is unknown, but might have to do with rivalry between royal kinsmen. However, the Vit

Anund Eriksson (ca. 800 - Oud Uppsala, 844) was een Zweedse koning.
Eriksson was koning samen met zijn broer Bjorn maar werd door hem verdreven. Hij had voor zijn terugkeer een vloot van 11 schepen en werd gesteund door 21 schepen uit Denemarken. Eriksson had de Denen beloofd dat ze de stad Birka mochten plunderen. Toen ze daar aankwamen was Bjorn niet in de stad en Birka betaalde een schatting van 100 zilveren marken om de plundering af te kopen. De Denen wilden de stad toch nog plunderen maar Anund wist ze te overtuigen om de wil van de goden te raadplegen door loten te trekken. Daaruit bleek dat plundering van Birka ongeluk zou brengen aan de Denen. Op advies van Eriksson zijn de Denen toen weggetrokken om een Slavische stad te plunderen en ze keerden met een rijke buit terug naar huis. Eriksson vestigde zijn gezag in Zweden en maakte Oud Uppsala tot zijn residentie.
Eriksson was zoon van Erik Bjornsson (ovl. Adelso, 815) en kleinzoon van Jarl (aanvoerder, het Engelse woord earl is hiervan afgeleid) Bjorn.
Eriksson was vader van Erik Anundsson (ca. 825 - 882). Erik volgde zijn vader op als koning en had een slepend grensconflict met Harald I van Noorwegen. Hij wordt geïdentificeerd met de legendarische koning Erik Väderhatt ("Weerhoed") die een hoed had die hem controle gaf over de wind, een vitaal voordeel voor een zeevarend volk.

Han flyktade undan Norske kungen Harald Halvdansson " Hårfager" som levde mellan åren 850 och 933,från östan till Jämtland och röjde där marker till boplatser. Hans son Holmfast och hans systerson Grim foro i viking på Västerhavet, dräpte på Söderöarna jarlen Asbjörn Skerjablesa och togo hans syster och dotter. Holmfast fick dottern på sin lott och överlämnade henne till sin fader att vara hans slavinna.

[RCKarnes.ged]
Anund Uppsale or Anoundus ruled Sweden together with his brother Bjrn at Hauge, according to Rimbert and Hervarar saga (he and Bjrn are also mentioned by Adam of Bremen). He is called Uppsale because he stayed at Gamla Uppsala, the religious centre, whereas his brother Bjrn is said to have settled in a hall on the island of Adels, close to the merchant town of Birka. This division is explained by Rimbert. He recounts that Anoundus and his brother Bjrn, succeed king Erik. He then relates that they became enemies and Anund was ousted by Bjrn. Sometime in the 840s, Anund returns to Sweden with a large Danish host of 21 longships and 11 of his own, because Anund had promised them rich plunder in Birka, and they arrived when Bjrn at Hauge was far away. Anund demanded one hundred marks of silver, which was granted. The Danes felt tricked and wanted to make a surprise attack on Birka in order to burn it and plunder it, but then Anund tried to avert their plans. He asked them to draw lots about whether it was the will of the Aesir that Birka should be destroyed (they were probably casting runes). The outcome was that the destruction of Birka would bring bad luck to the Danes. They then asked where to go for plunder and the answer was to go to a Slavic town. The Danes left Birka but returned with rich booty. The two brothers reconciled and Anund settled in Gamla Uppsala, which explains why Hervarar saga calles him Anund Uppsale.
