Ferking

He lived in the 7th century, controlling a realm that included western parts of island of Karmøy, in southern Norway.

The legend claims that King Ferking lived at Ferkingstad, where he had built large houses of stones.

The banquet halls were so huge that 500-600 men could dance in honor of the gold calf, which Ferking worshiped.

King Ferking was a ruler of the sea, a Viking who spent most of his time on board a ship, and he brought home with him many treasures.

King Augvald had attended Ferkingstad for a midwinter sacrificial banquet with a group of people, among them two of his daughters.
