Halsten Stenkilsson, English exonym: Alstan (Old Icelandic: ''Hallstein''〔(''Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks'', Guðni Jónsson's og Bjarni Vilhjálmsson's edition at «Norrøne Tekster og Kvad». )〕) was a king of Sweden, son of King Stenkil and a Swedish princess. He became king after his father Stenkil's death (1066), and he may have ruled together with his brother Inge the Elder.〔(The ''Saga of Hervör and Heithrek'', in ''Stories and Ballads of the Far Past, translated from the Norse (Icelandic and Faroese)'', by N.

(2001) ''Gothic Connections, Contacts between eastern Scandinavia and the southern Baltic coast 1000BC-500AD''. Occasional Papers in Archaeology 26. Uppsala. p. 16.〕). However, the king "A" could also be Håkan the Red.〔''(Inge )'' in ''Nationalencyklopedin''〕 His co-rulership with his brother Inge is also mentioned in the ''Hervarar saga''.〔 In the regnal list of the ''Westrogothic law'', he is said to have been courteous and cheerful, and whenever a case was submitted to him, he judged fairly,〔〔 and this was why Sweden mourned his death.〔 He was the father of the co-rulers Philip and Inge the Younger.〔〔〔 The ''Hervarar saga'', which is one of the few sources about the kings of this time, has the following to tell: ==Notes and references== 〔 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「Halsten Stenkilsson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
