ynglingas

the ynglingas seem to have come from the area around the netherlands, before establishing themselves in the area around uppsala. from there, they conquered denmark and colonized norway. they also extended their sphere of influence deep into russia. the lines that flow from here are either mythical or convenient for the moment, but will eventually be explored more rigorously.

descendancy: dyggvi [2]

possible descendancy: radbardians
