Þjóðólfr of Hvinir

Þjóðólfr of Hvinir

Þjóðólfr of Hvinir ("Thjodolf") was a Norwegian skald, active around the year 900. He is considered to have been the original author of "Ynglingatal", a poem glorifying the Norwegian petty king Ragnvald the Mountain-High, by describing how he was descended from the Swedish kings and the Norse gods.

He is also credited with another skaldic poem, "Haustlöng".
