==''Ynglinga saga''== [[Snorri Sturluson]] relates in his ''[[Ynglinga saga]]'' that King Ingvar, Östen's son, was a great warrior who often spent time patrolling the shores of his kingdom fighting Danes and Estonian vikings (''Víkingr frá Esthland''). King Ingvar finally came to a peace agreement with the Danes and could take care of the [[Estonian vikings]].{{citation needed|date=April 2021}} He consequently started pillaging in [[Ancient Estonia|Estonia]] in retribution, and one summer he arrived at a place called Stein (see also [[Sveigder]]). The Estonians (''sýslu kind'') assembled a great army in the interior and attacked King Ingvar in a great battle. The Estonian forces were too powerful and Ingvar fell and the Swedish forces retreated. Ingvar was buried in a mound at a place called ''Stone'' or ''[[Hill fort]]'' (''at Steini'') on the shores of Estonia (''Aðalsýsla'').{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
