Styrbjörn the Strong
Styrbjörn the Strong (Old Norse ''Styrbjörn Sterki'') (died c. 985) was, according to late Norse sagas, the son of the Swedish king Olof, and the nephew of Olof's co-ruler and successor Eric the Victorious, who defeated and killed Styrbjörn at the Battle of Fyrisvellir. As with many figures in the sagas, doubts have been cast on his existence,〔''Nationalencyklopedin'' short-form article (Styrbjörn Starke ), ''jomsvikingarnas hövding vars existens har betvivlats'', "chief of the Jomsvikings whose existence has been doubted."〕 but he is mentioned in a roughly contemporary skaldic poem about the battle. According to legend, his original name was ''Björn''〔C. Georg Starbäck in ''Berättelser ur Swenska Historien Första delen: Sagoåldern'' Norrköping 1860 p. 231〕 (English exonym: ''Beorn).
==Prose retellings==
It is believed that there once was a full saga about Styrbjörn, but most of what is extant is found in the short ''Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa''. Parts of his story are also retold in ''Eyrbyggja saga'', Saxo Grammaticus' ''Gesta Danorum'' (book 10), ''Knýtlinga saga'' and ''Hervarar saga''. He is also mentioned in the ''Heimskringla'' (several times), and in ''Yngvars saga víðförla'', where Ingvar the Far-Travelled is compared to his kinsman Styrbjörn. Oddr Snorrason also mentions him in ''Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar'' (c. 1190), writing that Styrbjörn was defeated with magic. In modern days, he is also the hero of a novel called ''Styrbiorn the Strong'' by the English author Eric Rücker Eddison (1926), and he figures in ''The Long Ships'', by Frans G Bengtsson.
