Visbur

Visbur

In Scandinavian mythology, Visbur was a king of the House of Ynglings and the son of Vanlandi. He was burned to death inside his hall by the arson of two of his own sons in revenge for rejecting their mother and denying them their heritage. He was succeeded by his son Dómaldi.

Snorri Sturluson wrote of Visbur in his "Ynglinga saga" (1225):

The even earlier source "Íslendingabók" cites the line of descent in "Ynglingatal" and also gives Visburr as the successor of Vanlandi and the predecessor of Dómaldr: "vi Vanlandi. vii Visburr. viii Dómaldr" [ [http://www.heimskringla.no/original/islendingesagaene/islendingabok.php Guðni Jónsson's edition of Íslendingabók] ] .
