Brávellir

Brávellir (Old Norse) or Bråvalla (modern Swedish) (coord|58|35|N|16|25|E|) was the name of the central plain of Östergötland (East Götaland), in Norse mythology.

It appears in several traditions, such as those of the Battle of Bråvalla (Battle of the Bravellir), and in "Helgakviða Hundingsbana I", where Sinfjotli resides on this plain. Stanza 42:

Its location has been contested because a local tradition places the Battle of Bråvalla at lake Åsnen in the Swedish province of Småland. In the oldest sources, however, such as the "Hervarar saga" it is described as "Brávelli í eystra Gautlandi" (i.e. Bråvalla in Östergötland) and in " Sögubrot af Nokkrum" the battle is said to have taken place south of Kolmården which separated Sweden from Östergötland and where Bråviken is located: "..Kolmerkr, er skilr Svíþjóð ok Eystra-Gautland ... sem heitir Brávík."

In the legend of Blenda, the women army assembled on the Brávellir.
