The Dagling or Dögling dynasty was a legendary clan of the petty kingdom Ringerike in what today is Norway.
In the Ynglinga saga, Snorri Sturluson writes that the clan was descended from Dag the Great whose daughter Dageid married the Swedish king Alrekr and was the mother of Yngvi and Alf.
Stanza 18 of the Hyndluljóð reads: In the later Hversu Noregr byggðist, it is reported that Dag married a woman named Þóra drengjamóður and they had nine sons.
This proposal would lead to both Angantyr and his brothers being killed in battle against the Swedish hero Hjalmar and his Norwegian friend Orvar-Odd.
[citation needed] The "Hversu Noregr Byggðist" tells that Dag's father, Halfdan the Old, received a promise from the gods that there would be no woman and no man who was not of great repute among his descendants for three hundred years.
