Ale the Strong

Ale the Strong (Heimskringla) or Ole (English: Ola), in Scandinavian legend,[1] belonged to the House of Skjöldung (Scylding), and he was the son of king Friðfróði of Denmark and a cousin of Helgi's (and consequently of the Hrothgar of Beowulf).

According to Starbäck and Bäckström, Saxo Grammaticus tells a related story in Gesta Danorum.

Starkad was accepted with honour in the warband of the Norwegian hero Ole (Olo).

It was not until Starkad managed to cover Ole's face that he could kill him.

Starkad was rewarded with 120 pounds in gold, but regretted his crime, and avenged Ole's death by killing Lennius.
