Sölve
Viking pirate chieftain, re del mare
Sölve (Old Norse: Sǫlvi) was a sea-king who conquered Vendel-period Sweden by burning the Swedish king Eysteinn to death inside his hall. The Heimskringla relates that he was the son of Högne of Njardö, and that he had his home in Jutland, although according to the older source Historia Norwegiæ, he was a Geat. He pillaged in the Baltic Sea and at night they made shore in the hundred of Lofond/Lovund (perhaps Lovön or the Lagunda Hundred) where they surrounded a house and set it on fire, killing everybody inside. In the house there was a feast where the Swedish king Eysteinn was invited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B6lve
