Þrymr

Þrymr

In Norse mythology, King Þrymr ("Thrymr", "Thrym"; "uproar") of the jotnar stole Mjollnir, Thor's hammer, to extort the gods into giving him Freyja as his wife. His kingdom was called Jötunheimr, but according to Hversu Noregr byggdist, it was the Swedish province Värmland.

Þrymr was foiled in his scheme by the knowledge of Heimdall, the cunning of Loki, and the sheer violence of Thor. Thor, son of Odin, later killed Thrym, his sister, and all of his jotnar kin, which had been present at the wedding reception. The poem "Þrymskviða" gives the details of how Thor got his hammer back. Bergfinnr is a son of Thrymr, the Giant of Vermland.
