Question

A king of this name was given a bracelet by a man whom he had earlier tried to buy a bear from for double its price, but then let him sell that bear to his enemy, according to the Tale of Auðun (“OW-thoon”). Theodoric the Monk began his most famous work with a description of how a man with this name had a son who killed the other sons of that man, giving him the epithet “brothers’ bane.” That man of this name is discussed by a raven and maid in the (*) “Raven Song.” A man with this name called “Greycloak” was succeeded by a man who inspired a logo of the Younger Futhark rune bjarkan with two extra lines. (10[1])That king of this name honored his parents Gorm and Þyri (“THOO-ree”) in the Jelling (“YEHL-ing”) stones and has the epithet “Bluetooth.” (10[1])For 10 points, give this name of Norwegian kings called “Fairhair” and “Hardrada.” ■END■
