In Norse mythology, Domalde, ''Dómaldi'' or ''Dómaldr'' (Old Norse possibly "Power to Judge"〔McKinnell (2005:70).〕) was a Swedish king of the House of Ynglings, cursed by his stepmother, according to Snorri Sturluson, with ''ósgæssa'', "ill-luck". He was the son of Visbur. ==Attestations== The luck of the king is the luck of the land,〔"The Danish sources, for example, tell of many kings who bore the title Frothi (wise/fruitful)" remarked John Grigsby in the context of just such 'Royal Obligations', ch. 11, ''Beowulf and Grendel'' 2005: 124, noting (note 3) Frothi's appearance in Saxo Grammaticus.〕 and Domalde's rule was marked by bad crops and starvation. The first autumn, the Swedes sacrificed oxen at the temple at Uppsala, but the next harvest was not better. The second autumn, they sacrificed men, but the following crops were even worse. The third year many Swedes arrived at Gamla Uppsala at the Thing of all Swedes and the chiefs decided they had to sacrifice the king. They sprinkled the statues of the gods with his blood (see Blót) and the good harvests returned. He was succeeded by his son Domar whose reign was prosperous. Snorri Sturluson wrote of Domalde in his ''Ynglinga saga'' (1225): Snorri included a piece from ''Ynglingatal'' (9th century) in his account in the ''Heimskringla'': The ''Historia Norwegiæ'' presents a Latin summary of ''Ynglingatal'', older than Snorri's quotation: The even earlier source ''Íslendingabók'' cites the line of descent in ''Ynglingatal'' and also gives Dómaldr as the successor of Visburr and the predecessor of Dómarr: ''vii Visburr. viii Dómaldr. ix Dómarr''.〔(Guðni Jónsson's edition of Íslendingabók )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Domalde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
