Anund Uppsale
Anund Uppsale or Anoundus, 'Anund of Uppsala', (Old Norse: "Önundr Uppsali"), a son of Erik Björnsson of the House of Munsö, ruled Sweden together with his brother Björn at Haugi, according to Hervarar saga. He is called "Uppsale" because he stayed at Old Upsala, the era's religious centre. He and Björn are sometimes identified with similarly-named kings mentioned in Rimbert's Vita Ansgari and by Adam of Bremen.
